How does the tool work?

Our tool uses the Web Speech API, which is built into modern web browsers. When you enter text and click "Speak Text," your browser converts the text to speech using synthetic voices. All processing happens locally on your device, which ensures privacy and fast performance.

What languages are supported?

Is there a character limit?

Yes, for optimal performance, we recommend converting up to 5000 characters at a time. For longer texts, you can split them into multiple parts. The character counter below the text input will help you track your text length.

Technical Questions

Why can't I hear any audio?

If you can't hear audio, please check: 1) Your device's volume is turned up, 2) Your browser isn't muted, 3) You have speakers or headphones connected properly. Also, some browsers require user interaction (like clicking a button) before playing audio for the first time.

The download feature isn't working. What should I do?

The download feature uses advanced browser capabilities that may not be available in all browsers. For best results, use Chrome, Edge, or Safari. Also, check if your browser settings allow downloads from our site. If downloads still don't work, you can use screen recording software to capture the audio as an alternative.

Why are some voices not available on my device?

Voice availability depends on your operating system and browser. Different systems come with different default voices. You can usually add more voices through your system settings. For example, on Windows, you can add voices through Settings > Time & Language > Language > Add a language.

Can I use this tool on my mobile device?

Yes, our tool is fully responsive and works on smartphones and tablets. However, some mobile browsers may have limited voice options or different behavior. For the best experience on mobile, we recommend using Chrome for Android or Safari for iOS.

Usage Questions

Can I use the generated audio commercially?

This depends on the specific voice you use. Some synthetic voices have restrictions on commercial use. We recommend checking the terms of use for the voice you select. For commercial projects, you may want to consider professional text-to-speech services with clear commercial licensing.

How accurate is the pronunciation?

Modern speech synthesis is quite accurate for common words and phrases, especially in major languages. However, it may struggle with uncommon names, technical terms, or words with ambiguous pronunciation. You can often improve accuracy by adjusting spelling or adding punctuation to guide the speech engine.

Can I save my settings for future use?

Yes, our tool uses your browser's local storage to remember your preferences (like selected voice, rate, and pitch) for your next visit. This only works if you're using the same browser on the same device and haven't cleared your browser data.

Is my text private and secure?

Yes, absolutely. All text processing happens locally in your browser. We don't send your text to our servers, and we don't store or have access to what you convert. This ensures complete privacy for sensitive or confidential text.
