Text to Speech (TTS) is a technology that converts written text into spoken words using synthetic voices. Our free online TTS tool uses your browser's built-in speech synthesis engine to generate natural-sounding speech from any text. Perfect for accessibility, proofreading, language learning, and content creation.

The tool works entirely in your browser using the Web Speech API, ensuring your text remains private and secure. No data is sent to external servers, and you can use it offline once the page is loaded.

The quality and number of available voices depend on your browser and operating system. Modern browsers typically provide:

• Multiple languages including English, Spanish, French, German, Chinese, Japanese, and many more

• Various accents for major languages (British English, American English, etc.)

• Male and female voices

• Natural-sounding neural voices on supported platforms

Chrome and Edge generally offer the widest selection of high-quality voices through their cloud TTS services when online.
