Which voices can I choose?

Every voice your browser and device offer — on most systems that is several English voices plus other languages, listed in the picker. Voices differ by device, so the list on your phone will not match a laptop's. If the list looks empty for a second, it fills in as the browser loads its voices.

Can I save the speech as an audio file?

The browser's speech engine plays audio live but does not offer a recording download, so this page can't either. For proof-listening, editing checks and accessibility reading, live playback with pause is what matters.

Do all voices keep my text on my device?

Voices built into your device do — they synthesise locally. Some browsers also offer 'online' or network voices (often the most natural-sounding ones), and those may send the text to the browser maker's service to generate the speech. If your text is sensitive, pick a local voice — it is usually marked as such in the voice list — and it never leaves your device.

Proofreading by ear (typos your eyes skip become obvious when spoken), reading long articles hands-free, checking how dialogue or a script sounds, and accessibility for anyone who finds listening easier than reading.

Text to Speech

Paste any text and hear it read aloud — pick a voice, tune the speed and pitch, press speak.

Text to read aloud

Voice

Speed — 1.0×

Pitch — 1.0

Your browser's built-in voices do the reading and nothing is recorded by ToolPixi. Local voices work fully on-device; voices marked online may use the browser maker's service — see the FAQ.

How to use it

Paste your text — an article, a draft, anything up to a long document.

Pick a voice and set speed and pitch. Slow a dense text down; speed a familiar one up.

Press Speak. Pause and resume whenever you like; Stop ends the reading.

Your ears catch what your eyes forgive

Writers proofread badly because the brain autocorrects the page it wrote. Hearing the same text spoken is a different sense doing the checking: repeated words thud, missing commas run sentences into each other, and clumsy dialogue sounds clumsy. The same engine serves readers who simply prefer listening — long articles on a walk, instructions with occupied hands, study notes at 1.4× speed. It all runs on the voices already built into your device, which is why it costs nothing and asks for nothing.
