About the Text to Speech Converter
ZappMint's Text to Speech Converter uses the Web Speech API built into modern browsers to turn written text into natural-sounding spoken audio. Simply paste your content, select a voice and language, and click Speak — no downloads, no plugins, no accounts required.
This tool benefits students who want to listen to study notes, writers who prefer to proofread by ear, accessibility users who rely on audio output, and professionals who want to hear how their content sounds before publishing. It also helps language learners hear correct pronunciation across multiple languages.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this text to speech tool free?
Yes, completely free. No signup, no subscription, no hidden fees. Use it as many times as you like.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes, the tool is fully mobile responsive and works on iOS and Android browsers that support the Web Speech API.
Is my text saved or stored?
No. Your text stays entirely in your browser. Nothing is sent to any server — your content is 100% private.
How many characters can I convert?
You can convert up to 5,000 characters at a time. For longer texts, split them into sections and convert each one.
Which languages are supported?
The tool supports English (US & UK), Hindi, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Arabic, and Japanese — depending on your browser's installed voices.
Why does voice selection not show options?
Voice availability depends on your operating system and browser. Chrome on desktop usually offers the most voices. Reload the page if voices don't populate immediately.
Can I adjust speed and pitch?
Yes. Use the Speed slider (0.5× to 2×) and Pitch slider (0.5 to 2) to fine-tune how the voice sounds before or during playback.
Can I download the audio as an MP3?
The Web Speech API does not allow audio download directly. For downloadable audio files, you would need a server-side TTS service. This tool focuses on instant in-browser playback.
