Frequently asked questions
Can I download the audio as an MP3?
No. The browser speech API plays audio straight to your speakers and gives web pages no access to the sound, so there is no file to save. To keep the audio, record your system sound with a screen or audio recorder while it plays.
Why are the voices different on my phone and my computer?
The voices come from the operating system and the browser, not from this site. Windows, macOS, Android and iOS each ship their own, and Chrome and Edge add online voices. Installing extra voices in your system settings makes them appear here.
Is this text to speech free and private?
Yes, it is free with no limits or signup. The page never uploads your text. Voices marked online are generated by your browser vendor's service, so for sensitive text pick a voice without that label.
Why is the current word not highlighted?
Word highlighting relies on boundary events that some voices, mostly online and some Android voices, do not send. The text is still read aloud; switch to a local voice to get the highlight.
Why does reading stop on long texts?
Some browsers cut a single utterance off after about 15 seconds. This tool splits long text into sentence-sized pieces and queues them, which avoids the problem in most browsers.
