About This Tool
Turn Any Text Into Natural Speech
The TTS Reader reads your text aloud using your browser's built-in voices. Paste an article, essay or email, pick a voice, adjust the speed and pitch, and press Read Aloud. Words highlight as they are read, so you can follow along visually.
Nothing is uploaded. The reader uses the voices already on your device and even works offline once voices load. It is ideal for proofreading your own writing, accessibility, and listening to long articles hands free. The tool is free and needs no signup.
How to Use the TTS Reader
Three steps to spoken text.
- Paste your text: Drop in any text you want to hear.
- Pick a voice and tune it: Choose from your browser's voices and set the speed and pitch sliders.
- Press Read Aloud: Listen with word highlighting. Pause, Resume or Stop anytime.
