FAQs
Can I download the audio as an MP3?
No. Browsers do not expose synthesized speech as a file, so this tool plays audio in the browser only and cannot export or download it.
Why is the voice list empty at first?
Some browsers load voices in the background. The list populates automatically once the voices are ready, usually within a second.
Does my text leave my device?
No. Speech synthesis runs entirely in your browser, so your text is never uploaded or stored anywhere.
Which languages can it speak?
The available voices and languages depend on the voices installed on your device and browser. The list shown reflects exactly what your system supports.

Tips and Limits
Speech is generated by your browser using the voices on your device, so quality and available languages vary by system. No audio file is produced or downloadable.
