Text to Speech Tool
Convert text to speech online. Listen to any text in multiple Indian and global languages.
About this calculator
Type text, pick a voice and speed and your browser reads it aloud. Supports several Indian and global languages, depending on voices installed on your device.
Useful for proofreading, accessibility and language practice.
How to use it
- Type or paste your text.
- Choose a voice and speed.
- Press Speak; use Pause and Stop.
How it works
The tool uses your browser's built-in Web Speech API, so voices depend on your operating system and browser (Chrome, Edge and Safari have different sets). Speech is generated on your device, and text is not uploaded. Reading your writing aloud is a proven proofreading technique because awkward phrases are easier to hear than to see.
