Text to Speech
betaThis free text-to-speech tool reads any text aloud using the natural voices already built into your browser and operating system. Paste or type your text, choose a voice and language, tune the speed and pitch, and press Speak. It runs entirely on your device, so your text is never uploaded.
Turn text into natural speech with your browser’s built-in voices. Type or paste text, pick a voice, adjust speed and pitch, and press Speak. It runs entirely on your device — nothing is uploaded.
Download as audio (on-device AI voice)
The browser voices above can’t be saved to a file, so this uses an on-device AI voice to generate downloadable audio. The voice model downloads once (~30–60 MB) and is cached for offline use; add [pause] in your text for a silence.
How to use Text to Speech
- 1 Type or paste the text you want read aloud.
- 2 Pick a voice (voices available depend on your browser and OS).
- 3 Adjust the speed and pitch to taste.
- 4 Press Speak — use Pause, Resume or Stop as needed.
Frequently asked questions
Is my text sent to a server?
No. Speech is generated by your browser’s built-in speech engine, so your text stays on your device and nothing is uploaded.
Can I download the audio as an MP3 or WAV?
Yes. The browser (OS) voices can only be played, but the tool also includes an on-device AI voice: pick a language under “Download as audio”, click Generate, then save the result as WAV or MP3. The voice model downloads once and is cached for offline use.
Can I add pauses in the speech?
Yes, in the downloadable AI voice. Type [pause] (or leave a blank line) in your text and set the pause length — a short silence is inserted there.
Why do I see different voices than someone else?
The available voices come from your browser and operating system, so the list varies by device. Chrome, Edge, macOS and iOS each ship their own set.
Does it support languages other than English?
Yes. Any language your system provides a voice for will appear in the list — including Indonesian on many devices. Pick a matching voice for the best result.
Does it work offline?
The built-in system voices generally work offline; some browsers stream certain higher-quality voices, which then need a connection.
