Frequently Asked Questions
What voices are available?
The tool uses your operating system's built-in voices via the Web Speech API. Available voices vary by OS — Windows, macOS, and Linux each offer different language options and voice quality.
Does text-to-speech work offline?
Most system voices work offline. Some premium or cloud-based voices (like some Android or Chrome voices) require an internet connection.
Can I adjust the speech speed and pitch?
Yes. Adjust rate (speed) and pitch with sliders to customize the voice output. Slower speeds help with language learning; faster speeds help with proofreading.
What languages are supported?
Any language your operating system supports. Most systems include English, Spanish, French, German, Chinese, Japanese, and many more. The voice list shows all available options.
