Paste text and hear it read aloud — useful for proofreading, studying, or resting tired eyes. The voices are the ones built into the device and browser.
This tool uses the speech synthesis built into the browser and operating system — the same voices used by screen readers. Available voices vary by device: phones and desktops usually include several, in multiple languages, and the list above shows everything the current device offers. Long texts are read in full; some browsers pause on very long passages, and pressing Play again resumes cleanly.
Can the audio be downloaded as an MP3? No, and any tool claiming one-click downloads deserves a close look: the browser's built-in speech cannot be recorded directly, so this tool honestly offers listening only — play, pause, and speed control.
Why is the voice list empty or short? Voices come from the device and browser, not from this page. They sometimes load a second after the page opens; if the list stays empty, try Chrome or Edge, which ship with the widest selection.
