How it works
The browser sends text to the OS speech synthesizer locally. No audio file uploads occur unless you separately record output.
How to use Text to Speech
- Paste or type the passage to hear.

Frequently asked questions
- Why are voices different on my phone?
- Each device exposes its own voice catalog to the browser.
- Can I download MP3?
- Basic TTS may not export audio; use a dedicated recorder if you need files.
- Does it read PDFs?
- Paste extracted text; PDF parsing is not part of core TTS.
