Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about in-browser speech synthesis
How does this tool's speech synthesis work?
The tool uses the browser's built-in Web Speech API (window.speechSynthesis). The text is read aloud using the voices installed on your device, without sending anything to external servers. You can choose the voice, language, reading speed and pitch.
Why do I not see some languages or voices?
Available voices depend on your operating system and browser: Windows, macOS, Android and iOS offer different voice sets. If you cannot find a language, you can install additional voices from your system settings. Voices load asynchronously, so they sometimes appear after a short moment.
Is the text I enter saved?
No. Everything happens locally in your browser: the text is never sent to or stored on external servers. Closing the page removes the content, ensuring maximum privacy.
How does the reading work?
It uses the speech synthesis of the browser and the voices installed on the device: the text is read locally, without going through any outside service. You pick voice, language, speed and pitch.
Why can I not find some languages?
Because the available voices depend on the operating system: Windows, macOS, Android and iOS install different sets. When a language is missing, it is added from the system settings.
Is the text I paste saved?
No, it stays in the page and is sent nowhere. Closing the page makes it disappear, so you can have a confidential text read out without leaving a copy behind.
