Listen to any text read aloud

This text to speech tool reads typed or pasted text out loud using natural-sounding computer voices. You can choose the voice and adjust the speed to suit you.

Popular uses

  • Listening to articles, notes or emails while doing other tasks.
  • Learning the pronunciation of English words and sentences.
  • Proofreading — hearing your writing makes mistakes easier to spot.
  • Helping people with reading difficulties or tired eyes.
  • Creating rough voice-overs for presentations and videos.

Tips

Use proper punctuation, since commas and full stops create natural pauses. Slow the speed down when learning a language and speed it up for quick review. The available voices depend on your browser and device, so you may see different voices on a phone than on a laptop.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do some voices sound more natural than others?
Available voices come from your browser's built-in speech engine, which varies by browser and operating system — some ship higher-quality neural voices than others.
Can I download the speech as an audio file?
Not directly through this tool — it plays audio live using your browser's speech engine rather than generating a downloadable file. For a saved audio file, you'd need separate screen/audio recording software.
