Frequently Asked Questions

Does this require an internet connection to work?

The tool uses your browser's built-in speech synthesis engine, which works offline on most devices once the page has loaded. Voice availability depends on the voices installed on your operating system.

Can I choose different voices and languages?

Yes — the voice selector lists all speech synthesis voices available on your device, which often includes multiple languages and accents depending on your OS and browser.

Can I adjust the reading speed?

Yes — use the rate slider to slow down or speed up the reading from 0.5x (very slow) to 2x (fast) speed, which is helpful for accessibility or for speed-listening to content.
