Frequently Asked Questions About Text to Speech (Read Aloud)
Is this text-to-speech free?
Yes — completely free with no signup and no limits. It uses the speech voices built into your browser and operating system, so there is nothing to install and your text stays on your device.
Why do I see different voices than someone else?
The available voices come from your browser and operating system, so the list depends on your device. You can install more system voices in your OS settings to get additional languages and accents.
Can I download the audio as an MP3?
Browser speech voices are designed for instant playback, not file export, so this tool focuses on listening — play, pause, and stop. It is ideal for proofreading, studying, and accessibility.
Does my text get uploaded?
No. The speech is generated locally by your browser, so your text is never sent to a server. It is completely private.
