Type or paste any text and hear it read aloud — for proofreading your own writing, listening to notes and articles, or resting your eyes. Choose a voice and adjust the speed and pitch to suit you; the reader uses the voices already on your device.
This free text to speech (TTS) reader turns written words into spoken audio using your device's built-in voices, so it works with no downloads and no sign-up. Writers use it to proofread by ear — mistakes you skim past on screen jump out when spoken. Students use it to listen to notes, and anyone can use it to get through long text without staring at a screen. Paste your text, press play, and control the pace as it reads.
