# Text-to-Speech Reader Paste any text and have it read aloud using your browser's own voices, with adjustable speed and pitch. There is no server and no API key — nothing is uploaded. ### How it works This uses the browser's native **Web Speech API** (`speechSynthesis`). The available voices come from your operating system, so the list and quality differ between devices; you can pick a voice and set the rate and pitch, then play, pause or stop. It's useful for proofreading, for readers who take text in better by ear, or for resting your eyes — and because it runs on-device, the text you paste never leaves your browser. --- *Source: [ocxly.com/text-to-speech-reader.html](https://ocxly.com/text-to-speech-reader.html) — OCXLY, free 100% client-side privacy-first tools.
