How browser text-to-speech works

Modern browsers expose the SpeechSynthesis API (part of the Web Speech API), which uses voices installed on your operating system. macOS, Windows, iOS, and Android all ship with high-quality neural voices in dozens of languages.

Because the work happens locally, this tool is private (your text never leaves the device), free (no API quota), and instant (no network round-trip).

To download an audio file, screen-record the playback or use a system-level audio capture tool. Direct file export isn't part of the Web Speech API standard.
