1
Enter text
Type or paste what you want to hear in the left panel. The character count appears in the header row.
2
Pick language and voice
On the right, choose the language and voice, then adjust speed and pitch. The voice list comes from your operating system.
3
Play and control
Use the toolbar for play, pause, stop, or clear. When you change the voice, the URL updates so you can bookmark it for next time.
Why is the voice list empty?
Voices come from the operating system. Some browsers need a few seconds after load; if it stays empty, refresh the page or try Chrome or Edge.
Which languages are supported?
It depends on the speech packs installed on your device. Windows and macOS usually include English, Chinese, Japanese, and more; you can add voices in system settings.
How much text can I read at once?
Each browser limits how long a single utterance can be. Staying under a few thousand characters is safest. If playback stops, split the text and play it in parts.
Can I save the audio as a file?
This tool uses built-in synthesis and cannot export audio directly. For a recording, use your system's capture tools or a service that offers file export.
The address bar changes when I switch voices — why?
The URL reflects the current language and voice so you can bookmark or share the link. Opening that link restores the same selections.
