0 / 6000 characters
Your text stays in your browser and is spoken using your device's built-in voices.

- Choose a voice, speed, and pitch.
- Select Play to listen.
A note on scope
This tool plays your text aloud using your browser's own built-in text-to-speech voices — it does not produce a downloadable audio file. Browsers do not provide a way to capture synthesized speech as a file, so this tool is scoped honestly to in-browser listening rather than promising an export it can't reliably deliver.
Your text stays private
Your text is sent only to your own browser's speech engine, never to Inqita or any server.
Common use cases
- Listen to an article or document instead of reading it
- Proofread writing by hearing it read back
- Preview how a script or script line sounds spoken aloud
Frequently asked questions
Is this text to speech tool free?
Yes. It is completely free, with no signup and no limits.
Is my text uploaded anywhere?
No. It is read aloud using your browser's own built-in voices, entirely on your device.
Can I download the speech as an audio file?
No. Browsers do not expose a way to capture synthesized speech as a file, so this tool is for listening only, not exporting audio.
Which voices are available?
This depends on your browser and operating system — most modern browsers include several built-in voices in different languages and accents.
Why do I see no voices listed?
Some browsers load voices asynchronously after the page opens — wait a moment, or try a different browser if the list stays empty.
