How to Have Your Text Read Aloud With Text to Speech (Voices, Speed and Pitch)
Listen to any text read out loud using the voices already on your device. Choose a voice, speed and pitch. Nothing is uploaded.
Listening can help you proofread, learn a language, rest your eyes or follow a long article while doing something else. Your phone or computer already has voices; this tool puts them to use in the browser.
Quick answer
Paste your text, choose a voice, speed and pitch, and press play. It uses voices already installed on your device, so your text is not sent anywhere.
Good uses
- Proofreading: hearing your writing exposes awkward sentences.
- Language learning: compare pronunciation and rhythm.
- Accessibility: support for people with dyslexia or low vision.
- Multitasking: listen to an article while cooking.
Steps
- Paste or type the text.
- Pick a voice from the list.
- Adjust speed (0.8 to 1.2 is natural) and pitch.
- Press play; pause or stop at any time.
Voices and languages
The list depends on your device. English voices are common. A Bangla voice appears only if your operating system or browser provides one; on Android you can install a Bangla voice in the speech settings.
Tips
- Break long text into sections for easier control.
- Remove unusual symbols and URLs that sound odd when read.
- Use punctuation: commas and full stops create natural pauses.
- Slower speeds help when learning; faster speeds help skimming.
Limits
The tool plays speech but does not save audio files. To record the output you would use a screen or audio recorder.
