Text to speech

Hear any text read aloud

Listening is useful for proofreading, learning pronunciation, resting your eyes or making content easier to access. This tool reads text aloud using the voices built into your device and browser.

Paste the text, choose a voice, speed and pitch, and press play. The voices available depend on your system: phones and newer browsers usually offer more natural voices and more languages, including some for Urdu, Hindi and Arabic.

Speech is produced by your own browser, so your text is not sent to us. The tool is free with no sign-up.
