How the Text to Speech tool works
Text to Speech: Type or paste any text into the text area. Select a voice from the dropdown (voices are provided by your browser and operating system). Adjust the speed, pitch and volume sliders. Click Speak and your browser will read the text aloud. Everything runs locally — your text is never sent to any server.
Speech to Text: Switch to the Speech to Text tab, select your language and click the microphone button. Start speaking and the browser will convert your spoken words into typed text in real time. You can copy the result or continue dictating.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does this Text to Speech tool work?
Simply type or paste any text into the text area, select a voice and language from the dropdown, then click Speak. Your browser's built-in speech synthesis engine reads the text aloud. No server processing is needed — everything runs locally in your browser.
What voices are available?
The available voices depend on your browser and operating system. Most modern browsers offer multiple voices in different languages and accents. You can filter voices by language using the language dropdown.
Can I adjust the speed and pitch?
Yes. You can control the speaking rate (speed from 0.1x to 3x), pitch (0 to 2) and volume (0 to 100%) using the sliders provided. This lets you customize the voice output to your preference.
What is Speech to Text?
Speech to Text (also called voice recognition) lets you speak into your microphone and the browser converts your spoken words into typed text. Switch to the Speech to Text tab, click the microphone button and start dictating.
Is my voice or text data stored?
No. Both Text to Speech and Speech to Text use your browser's built-in Speech API (Web Speech API). Your text is never sent to any server, and voice recognition is processed locally or by your browser's speech engine — nothing is stored.
Does this tool work offline?
Text to Speech works entirely offline once the page is loaded, as it uses your browser's built-in speech synthesis. Speech to Text may require an internet connection depending on your browser, as some browsers use cloud-based speech recognition.
