Free online text-to-speech reader
This text-to-speech tool reads any text aloud straight from your browser. Paste an article, a paragraph you are proofreading, or a script you want to hear, then pick a voice and press play. It is handy for catching awkward sentences, giving your eyes a rest, or turning notes into audio you can listen to while you do something else. Because it uses the voices provided by your browser or device, there is nothing to download and no sign-up.
How to use the text-to-speech tool
- Type or paste your text into the box, or press Load example to try a short sample.
- Choose a voice from the dropdown — options depend on your device.
- Adjust the rate and pitch sliders to taste.
- Press Play, then use Pause, Resume, or Stop. Press Restart to read again with edited text or settings.
Why listen to your writing
Hearing text read back is one of the fastest ways to spot typos, repeated words, and clunky phrasing that the eye glides over. Pair it with our word counter to keep an eye on length, or tidy up formatting first with the case converter so your headings and sentences read cleanly out loud.
Browser-based voices and privacy
Device voices only is checked by default so the reader cannot accidentally fall back to a browser-default or network voice. The available local voices come from your device and browser. If no device voice is available, uncheck the option to choose a network voice or browser default. Network voices may send the text to your browser's voice provider for synthesis. Wyvek does not upload or save your text and does not include what you type in analytics events.
