Text to speech

Paste text and hear it read aloud in a natural voice. Choose from the voices on your device in dozens of languages, and set the speed and pitch.

How do I turn text into speech?

Paste or type your text, pick a voice and press Read aloud. You can pause, resume and stop at any time, and change the speed from half to double and the pitch. It's useful for proofreading your own writing, listening to articles and notes while you do something else, learning pronunciation, and helping with dyslexia and other reading difficulties.

The voices are the ones built into your phone or computer, so the choice depends on your device: Windows, macOS, iPhone, Android and ChromeOS each include natural voices for many languages, and some browsers add online voices. Pick a voice whose language matches your text for the best result. Everything happens in your browser, so nothing you type is sent to our server.

Questions

Yes. There's no sign-up and nothing to pay.

Which languages are supported?

Every language your device has a voice for. Most phones and computers include English, Spanish, French, German, Hindi, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese and many more.

Why are the voices different on my phone and computer?

The tool uses the voices built into each device, so Windows, Mac, Android and iPhone sound different.

How do I get more voices?

On Windows go to Settings, Time and language, Speech; on a Mac, System Settings, Accessibility, Spoken content; on Android and iPhone, the text-to-speech or Spoken content settings.
