Frequently Asked Questions
How does the in-browser Text-to-Speech (TTS) synthesizer read text aloud?
The tool utilizes the W3C Web Speech API (`window.speechSynthesis`) built natively into modern browsers (Chrome, Edge, Safari, Firefox). It renders high-fidelity synthesized audio directly through your device's audio output without streaming data from external speech cloud APIs.
Can I adjust speech playback speed and voice pitch?
Yes. You can adjust the playback rate from 0.5x (slow, deliberate articulation for language learners) up to 2.0x (rapid speed-listening for article consumption), as well as fine-tune pitch multipliers.
Is my text uploaded or sent to external speech-synthesis cloud APIs?
No. The synthesis runs 100% locally on your computer, smartphone, or tablet using operating system voice engines. Sensitive legal contracts, proprietary code, or personal drafts remain completely private.
Which languages and browser voices are supported for audio playback?
The reader supports all voice profiles installed on your operating system (Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, and Linux), including English, Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Hindi, and dozens of international accents.
How does listening to text aloud help with editing and proofreading written content?
Hearing your writing spoken aloud activates auditory processing centers, instantly exposing awkward phrasing, missing words, unintended repetition, and run-on sentences that your visual scanning frequently overlooks.
