Frequently Asked Questions
Does this upload my text anywhere?

No. The Web Speech API runs entirely in your browser using your system's built-in voices. No text is ever sent to a server.

Why do I see no voices?

Voices come from your operating system and browser. Try Chrome, Edge, or Safari on desktop for the widest selection. Some voices take a moment to load.

Can I change the reading speed?

Yes. Use the Speed slider (0.5× to 2×) to slow down or speed up playback.

Can I pause and resume?

Yes. Click the play button while speaking to pause, and click again to resume from where it stopped.
