Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I see different voices on different devices?
The available voices depend on your operating system and browser. Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android each come with different built-in voices. Chrome may offer additional Google voices on some platforms.
Can I download the audio?
The Web Speech API doesn't support audio download directly. The speech is generated in real-time by your browser. For downloadable audio, you would need a server-side TTS service or screen recording software.
Why doesn't it work on my browser?
Web Speech API is supported in most modern browsers including Chrome, Edge, Safari, and Firefox. Some older browsers or privacy-focused browsers may not support it. Make sure your browser is up to date.
Is there a text length limit?
There's no strict limit from this tool, but browsers may have internal limits. Very long texts (over 10,000 characters) may be split into chunks automatically. For best results, use shorter passages.
Is my text sent to a server?
No, your text stays completely on your device. The Web Speech API uses your browser's built-in speech synthesis engine, which runs locally. Your text is never uploaded or transmitted anywhere.

About Text to Speech

Convert text to speech online free with FreeToolBox's TTS reader — paste any text and have it read aloud instantly using your browser's built-in speech synthesis. Text to speech is valuable for proofreading (hearing text read back catches errors eyes miss), making content accessible for people with reading difficulties or visual impairments, learning pronunciation of foreign language text, or listening to long articles hands-free.

The tool uses the Web Speech API, which runs entirely in your browser without sending text to any server. Choose from available voices installed on your device, adjust reading speed and pitch, and pause or resume playback at any time. Completely free, no account required.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which voices are available?

Available voices depend on your operating system and browser. Modern systems include dozens of natural-sounding voices across many languages. Chrome on Windows and macOS typically offers the widest selection.

Can I download the audio as an MP3 file?

The Web Speech API doesn't directly support audio download in all browsers. The browser TTS is best for real-time listening. For audio file generation, consider system-level TTS tools.

Does it support multiple languages?

Yes. The Web Speech API supports all languages for which your OS has installed TTS voices. English, Spanish, French, German, Chinese, and Japanese are typically available on most modern systems.

Is my text sent to a server?

No. The Web Speech API processes text synthesis locally using the speech engine built into your operating system. Your text is never sent to any remote server.
