About Text to Speech
Text-to-speech used to require cloud APIs that charged per character and logged every request. Modern browsers ship the Web Speech API, which gives you high-quality voices for free with zero server dependency. This tool lets you pick any voice installed on your system, adjust speaking rate and pitch, and hear any text spoken aloud in seconds. It's perfect for proofreading (catching sentences that sound awkward), accessibility testing, language learning, or just listening to long articles hands-free. Because everything runs locally, confidential documents, private emails, and unpublished drafts stay on your device. There are no limits on text length, no daily quotas, and no hidden fees.
