Text to Speech Converter

The tool offers multiple natural-sounding voices in various languages including English, Spanish, French, German, and many others. The exact selection depends on your browser's built-in speech synthesis capabilities. Most modern browsers provide several voice options for each supported language.

Yes, you can download the generated speech as an MP3 file. The tool provides a download button after the text has been converted to speech. This allows you to save the audio for offline use, presentations, or sharing with others.

Most browsers have built-in limits for text-to-speech synthesis, typically around 32,000 characters per request. For very long texts, consider breaking them into smaller chunks. The tool works best with paragraphs, articles, or short documents rather than entire books.

The tool provides controls for adjusting speech rate (speed), pitch, and volume. You can slow down or speed up the speech for better comprehension, adjust pitch for different voice characteristics, and modify volume levels to suit your listening environment.

The basic text-to-speech functionality uses your browser's built-in capabilities and works offline once the page is loaded. However, downloading audio files and some advanced features may require an internet connection. Voice availability also depends on your operating system and browser.

Voice quality depends on your browser and operating system's speech synthesis engines. Some systems include high-quality neural voices, while others use older synthetic voices. Newer operating systems and browsers typically provide more natural-sounding options.

The tool itself is free to use, but check the terms of service for your specific browser and operating system regarding commercial use of their speech synthesis voices. Some voice engines may have restrictions on commercial use or require licensing for business applications.

You can try alternative spellings, add punctuation for pauses, or use phonetic spelling for difficult words. Some browsers support SSML (Speech Synthesis Markup Language) tags for more precise pronunciation control, though support varies.

This can happen due to browser limitations, very long text, or resource constraints. Try breaking long texts into smaller sections, ensure your browser is up to date, or try refreshing the page. Some browsers pause speech synthesis during periods of inactivity.

The audio format and quality are determined by your browser's speech synthesis engine. Most browsers generate reasonable quality audio suitable for listening and basic applications. For professional audio production, consider dedicated audio software or services.

For basic speech synthesis, your text is processed locally by your browser and never sent to external servers. However, if using enhanced AI voices or cloud-based features, text may be processed remotely. Check the specific voice option you're using for privacy details.

Modern browsers like Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge all support text-to-speech functionality. Chrome and Safari typically offer the most voice options and best quality. Mobile browsers also support the feature, though voice selection may be more limited.
