Your reading, in a voice you choose

Use a short passage to hear how your words sound. Start with the part you want to understand, remember, or improve.

Listen to articles

Copy a passage from an article and hear it in a different voice. Keep section headings that explain the topic, and remove links or captions that interrupt the reading.

Review study notes

Turn a section of your notes into spoken text. Write out abbreviations and unfamiliar terms so you can follow the explanation while looking at the original material.

Proofread a draft

Listen for repeated words, long sentences, and awkward transitions. Edit the passage and replay it to compare the wording before you share your draft.

From written text to a spoken passage

Paste a paragraph, choose a voice, and listen. Check a short sample before working through the rest of your text.

Choose a passage

Paste a paragraph from your article, lesson, or draft. Keep the words you want to hear and leave out menus, captions, or repeated headers.

Compare the reading

Pick a voice and press Play. Listen for pace and clarity, especially around names, dates, and unfamiliar terms.

Revise and continue

Adjust wording or punctuation, then listen again. Continue in the Playground when you are ready to work on a longer reading.

Keep listening or build it into your app

Work on your own recordings in the Playground, or use the API to give your readers a listening option.

For your own reading

Hear how a draft flows, compare voices, and adjust speaking speed. Preview sections before generating a longer narration.
