Support for pause, resume, and stop makes long-form listening easy. Ideal for accessibility needs, language learning, proofreading written content by ear, or creating quick voiceovers for videos and presentations. All processing is local - your text is never uploaded.

If you hear nothing, install the corresponding language speech pack in your system's voice settings.

FAQ
Does it need internet?
Voice data may need to be downloaded on first use. After that, most browsers cache the voices for offline use.
What languages are supported?
All languages available in your browser's built-in voice library, typically including Mandarin Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, French, German and more.
Can I download as audio file?
The Web Speech Synthesis API does not support direct audio export. Use system recording tools to capture the output.
Why is the voice list empty or silent?
The speech engine for that language is usually missing. Install the language pack in your OS text-to-speech settings, then refresh the page.
Can it read long texts?
Yes. Long text is split into segments and read continuously with natural pauses at sentence boundaries.
Can I interrupt playback?
Yes. Pause, resume and stop controls are provided, so you can switch language or rate and restart without replaying everything.
