How many characters can I convert at once?
Up to 5,000 characters per conversion — enough for several paragraphs or a short article.
For longer texts, split them into sections and convert one at a time.
Why don't I see many voice options?
The available voices depend entirely on your browser and operating system. Chrome on
Windows typically offers the most voices (30+). Safari on macOS has high-quality built-in voices. If you see
few options, try using Google Chrome for the best selection.
Can I download the audio as an MP3?
Yes, if your browser supports the Web Speech API with audio capture. Click "Download MP3"
after speaking. Note: due to browser security restrictions, not all browsers support direct MP3 export —
Chrome is recommended for this feature.
Is my text sent to a server?

never leaves your device — it is 100% private and secure.
Which browser works best?
Google Chrome offers the widest voice selection and best compatibility. Microsoft Edge also
works well. Firefox and Safari have more limited voice libraries but the core functionality works on all
modern browsers.
