How to have a text read aloud

  1. Paste the text into the box or bring it from another tool.
  2. Choose a female or male voice and the language of the text.
  3. Click “Read aloud”: the first sentences play in a couple of seconds, the rest loads while you listen.
  4. Download the MP3 to listen later, on a walk or on the way to work.

When reading aloud helps

  • Proofreading by ear. Repeated words, long sentences and missing words are easier to hear than to see.
  • Studying. Listen to notes, summaries and foreign-language texts with correct pronunciation.
  • Tired eyes. Long articles and documents become audio.
  • Accessibility. A simple reader for anyone who finds reading on a screen hard.
