What Is Text to Speech?

Text to speech (TTS) converts written text into spoken audio using your device or browser's built-in voices. It's useful for proofreading, accessibility, language learning, or simply listening to content instead of reading it.

This tool uses your browser's native speech engine, so your text is never sent to a server — it's spoken directly on your device.

No. The text is spoken locally using your browser's speech synthesis feature and never leaves your device.
