Text to Speech
What is Text to Speech?
Text to Speech (TTS) is a technology that converts written text into spoken audio. It uses speech synthesis to read text aloud using computer-generated voices, making content accessible and convenient for various applications.
Text to Speech is useful for:
- Accessibility: Helps people with visual impairments or reading difficulties access written content
- Multitasking: Listen to content while doing other activities
- Language Learning: Hear correct pronunciation of words and phrases
- Content Review: Proofread by listening to your written content
- Hands-Free Reading: Consume content without looking at a screen
Our Text to Speech tool uses your browser's built-in Web Speech API, which provides natural-sounding voices in multiple languages. You can select from available voices on your system, adjust playback, and use it for reading articles, documents, emails, or any text content. It's completely free and works entirely in your browser without requiring any downloads or installations.
