Text-to-Speech

Type or paste text and hear it spoken aloud. Uses your browser's built-in voice engine. Presend never receives your text, and your device's own voices keep it on your device; voices marked online in the list send it to Google or Microsoft.

Frequently asked questions

Is this text-to-speech tool free?

Yes, completely free. It uses your browser's built-in speech synthesis engine. No account, no API key, no limits.

Which voices are available?

The available voices depend on your browser and operating system. Edge offers the most voices (100+). Chrome and Safari also provide high-quality voices in many languages.

Can I download the audio?

With the AI voice, yes: once the speech is generated, the Download WAV button saves it as a file, created in your browser. With the browser's voices, not directly, since browsers don't provide an API to capture synthesized speech output: use your operating system's built-in screen/audio recorder (Windows: Win+G, macOS: Cmd+Shift+5) while the audio plays.

Does it work offline?

With the voices built into your device, yes: once the page is loaded, speech works offline. Voices marked online in the voice list need a connection and send your text to Google or Microsoft. The AI voice runs in your browser but needs a connection for its one-time model download.

Can I adjust the speed and pitch?

Yes. You can customize the speech rate (speed), pitch, and volume to match your preferences before generating the audio.

How does it work?

This tool uses the Web Speech API's speechSynthesis interface, a native browser feature available in all modern browsers. Your operating system provides the voices — on Windows you get Microsoft voices, on macOS you get Siri-quality voices, and on Android/iOS you get the device's native TTS engine. Presend never receives your text. Voices provided by your system are generated on your device; some browsers also offer online voices (Google voices in Chrome, Microsoft "Online (Natural)" voices in Edge) that send the text to that provider. Those are marked online in the voice list. Browsers don't expose an API to capture speechSynthesis output directly, so to save the audio as a file, use your operating system's built-in screen or audio recorder while playback runs.
