Question 1

Does this use a server-side voice engine?

Accepted Answer

No, it uses the Web Speech API built into your browser, so available voices vary by browser and operating system.

Question 2

Can I download the audio?

Accepted Answer

No, this uses live browser speech synthesis rather than a server-based engine, so there's no audio file to download.

Question 3

Why don't I see many voices?

Accepted Answer

Available voices depend on your operating system and browser — try Chrome or Edge on desktop for a wider selection.

Question 4

Is there a text length limit?

Accepted Answer

No hard limit, but very long text may take a while for the browser to queue and speak through.

Question 5

Can I change the language?

Accepted Answer

Yes, if the selected voice supports it — pick a voice matching your text's language for correct pronunciation.
