About the TTS Reader

This free TTS (text-to-speech) reader converts written text into spoken audio using your browser’s built-in speech engine. Paste articles, notes, emails, or any text up to 5,000 characters, choose from dozens of voices, and listen hands-free. Word highlighting follows along in real time so you never lose your place.

Everything runs 100% client-side using the Web Speech API. Your text is never sent to a server, making this ideal for sensitive content. Works on Chrome, Edge, Safari, and Firefox.
