Turn any PDF or text into natural speech

Our free text-to-speech reader lets you listen to documents, articles, research papers, and ebooks hands-free. Upload a PDF or paste text and the AI voice reads it aloud with real-time word highlighting, so you can follow along while you commute, exercise, or rest your eyes. It is a fast way to get through long reading lists by ear instead of on screen.

How the text to speech reader works

  1. Upload or paste. Drop in a PDF or TXT file, or paste any text you want read aloud.
  2. Choose Quick Start or AI Enhanced. Quick Start reads immediately from the original text. AI Enhanced cleans up PDF artifacts, removes noise, and detects chapters for a smoother listen.
  3. Pick a voice and listen. Choose from 12 natural AI voices, adjust the speed, and follow the real-time word highlighting as it narrates.
