Turn text into natural-sounding speech for voiceovers, narration, audiobooks or proof-listening. Local read is free and private; cloud TTS generates a downloadable MP3 you can preview and save.
The “Browser local read” mode runs 100% on your device — your text is never uploaded to any server. Only the “Cloud TTS (MP3)” mode sends the text to this site's speech service (powered by Microsoft neural voices) for synthesis; the audio is then generated and saved on your device.
A browser's built-in speech synthesis can only play audio, not save it to a file. To get a downloadable MP3 you need a cloud speech service that converts text into an audio stream. The “Cloud TTS” mode uses Microsoft neural voices for exactly that.
Local read uses every voice installed in your OS and browser. Cloud TTS ships with neural voices for English (US & UK), Korean, Japanese, French, German, Spanish, Chinese, Italian, Portuguese and Russian — pick a language above and the matching voices appear.
Turn writing into speech and suddenly a wall of text becomes something you can hear while you do the dishes.
This reads your text aloud in a chosen voice — English, Chinese, Japanese and more — so you can listen instead of stare.
Use it for drafts, articles, a message you can't read right now, or just tired eyes.
Local + cloud options; your text is only sent if you pick the cloud voice, and only for that read.
Privacy: the browser voice keeps text on your device; the cloud voice sends it to make audio, then it's done. (Anonymous analytics only — privacy policy.)
Tip: slow the rate a notch for long pieces — easier to follow. That's the tool — enjoy.
Whether you're making a video voiceover, turning a long article into audio, or practising pronunciation, text to speech (TTS) is the fastest first step. This tool offers two modes: Local read is free and private; Cloud TTS produces a previewable, downloadable MP3.
