Read Aloud is a free TTS tool that turns text into lifelike speech. It includes dozens of lifelike voices and support for multiple languages to choose the perfect voice. Read Aloud is easy to use — you send the text you want to be converted into the TTS reader. Then, it immediately returns the audio stream to your device so you can play it directly or save it in a common audio format like MP3 or WAV. Read Aloud supports Speech Synthesis Markup Language (SSML) tags like prosody to adjust the speech rate, pitch, or volume. Read Aloud is also available as a downloadable text-to-speech browser extension for Chrome, Firefox and Edge.

What is text to speech (TTS)?

Text-to-speech is the generation of synthesized speech from text. The technology is designed to interact with users when screen reading is either impractical or inconvenient. With the help of deep learning, it is now possible to produce very natural-sounding speech that includes changes to pitch, rate, pronunciation, and inflection. Today, computer-generated speech is used almost everywhere — in the news, video games, public announcements, online courses, phone systems, smart devices, and voice assistants.

How do text-to-speech solutions work?

Text-to-speech (TTS) uses AI to turn written text into natural-sounding speech. It is used in apps, smart devices, and more. The system breaks the text into parts and, with the help of NLP, turns it into a voice that sounds smooth and human-like.

How do I turn text into speech?

Three steps. 1) Type or import text: open a text-to-speech online reader and type your text or import it from PDF, Google Docs, etc. 2) Select a voice: Read Aloud offers 200+ voices across 30+ languages and accents — you can preview and favourite voices to increase productivity. 3) Generate speech: listen online or download the synthesized speech as an MP3 or WAV audio file.

Can I use Read Aloud in my browser?

Yes. You can use Read Aloud in Chrome, Firefox, and Edge browsers — just install the add-on from your browser's add-on store. To use it, open the web page you want to listen to, then click the Read Aloud icon in the browser toolbar and press the play button. You can also select specific text on a page and right-click to start reading aloud from the context menu.

How can text to speech help you study?

By combining digital text with TTS, reading barriers are reduced and everyone can access and comprehend content more easily. Listening and reading at the same time facilitates word recognition, keeps you concentrated and helps you retain what you have read, lets you focus more on comprehension than pronunciation, and makes it easier to spot and correct mistakes in your own writing.

Who uses text to speech technology?

Educators use TTS to improve accessibility for students with disabilities, teach comprehension and create engaging presentations and eLearning modules. Students benefit from bimodal learning (reading plus listening), as recommended by the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) framework. People who multitask — for example, reading recipes while cooking or instruction manuals while assembling furniture — use TTS as a productivity shortcut.

Why does text to speech matter for businesses?

TTS enhances customer experience by automating calls and voice responses, powering IVR and voice-activated chatbots, and removing communication barriers — especially for visually impaired users. It also enables global market penetration by producing voice-overs for ads, product demos and explainer videos in multiple languages and regional dialects, and increases web presence by turning written content into audio that users can consume on the go.

How do I delete my Read Aloud account?

Deleting your Read Aloud account is simple and secure. In the Account section, click Delete account. A confirmation dialog will appear — select Yes to confirm. This two-step process ensures your account is permanently removed while safeguarding against accidental deletions.

本政策适用范围

本隐私政策明确说明当您创建账户、使用 Read Aloud、访问我们的网站或订阅更新时，我们如何收集、使用并保护您的个人数据。

本政策不适用的情况

本政策不适用于通过我们的网站或应用中链接的第三方网站或服务所处理的数据。这些服务有其各自的隐私政策，建议您单独查阅。

我们可能会不时更新本隐私政策。如有必要，我们会明确通知您，并在法律要求时征求您的同意。

支付信息：如果您订阅付费服务，付款信息将由可信的第三方支付处理商安全处理。
浏览信息（URL）：当您使用我们的浏览器扩展程序时，我们可能会收集您当前正在访问的网页地址（URL）。该URL仅用于获取特定网站的解析规则——例如确定从页面的哪个位置提取文本以及忽略哪些内容块——以便在无需您安装更新的情况下，改进和修复我们的扩展程序在热门网站上的阅读效果。

Browser Extension Data Collection

The Read Aloud browser extension includes feature called “Content Optimization.” When this feature is accepted, the extension transmits the following data, for each page navigation, to our servers at https://app.readaloud.net/api/v1/optimization-rules over HTTPS:

The URL of the page you are currently visiting (targetUrl).
The URL of the previous page in the same tab, when applicable (referrerUrl).
The HTTP Content-Type of the page response.
The HTTP status code of the page response.
The HTTP request method (e.g., GET, POST).
Whether the tab is currently active in the foreground.
A randomly generated, persistent per-installation identifier (instanceId).
The timestamp of the navigation.

Why we collect this data
This data is used for the following purposes:

Retrieve site-specific text-extraction rules from our servers, so the extension can correctly identify the readable content of a page and skip elements like navigation menus or advertisements. Many sites change structure between extension releases, and server-side rules let us fix extraction without requiring you to install an update.
Diagnose situations where extraction fails — for example, on pages that return non-HTML Content-Types or non-2xx HTTP status codes.
Understand aggregate feature usage, such as the number of unique installations actively using the feature.
