TexttoSpeech.im: Convert Text to Speech Free Online vs Speechify

TexttoSpeech.im is a browser-based text-to-speech generator that turns written text into downloadable audio. Paste up to a few thousand characters, pick a language and voice, and get an MP3 you can listen to in the browser or save for later.

The voice catalog is the main draw: roughly 148 options spanning US, UK, Australian, Indian, and other regional accents, plus child voices and multi-emotion v2 variants. Some voices handle long passages up to 40,000 characters, while others cap out around 2,000.

It fits creators who need quick voiceovers without hiring talent, educators making lessons more accessible, and anyone who prefers listening to reading. The site runs in a standard web browser on phones, laptops, and desktops with no app install required.

Speechify is a voice productivity platform that reads text aloud, types what you say, and answers questions about what you are reading. Upload a PDF, paste a web page, or scan a printed page and listen with natural voices at speeds up to 5x. It runs on web, mobile, desktop, and browser extensions so you can keep listening across devices.

Founder Cliff Weitzman built Speechify after growing up with dyslexia and hacking together text-to-speech tools to get through college reading at Brown University. The product has since grown into a full voice layer: dictation that works in any app, one-click AI podcasts from documents, meeting note taking, and a voice assistant that summarizes pages you are reading.

With 60 million users and over 1 million five-star reviews, Speechify targets students, professionals, and anyone who reads faster by listening. It won a 2025 Apple Design Award and was named Chrome Extension of the Year.
