Frequently asked questions
Is any of my text sent to a server?
No — this uses your device's built-in speech synthesis engine (the Web Speech API), the same one used by screen readers and other accessibility tools.
Why don't I see many voice options?
Available voices depend entirely on your operating system and browser. Chrome and Edge on desktop typically offer the widest selection.
