Frequently Asked Questions
1. Does this tool store my text or files on a server?
No. Your privacy is fully protected. All the text conversion happens entirely inside your local web browser. Your text and uploaded files are never sent to external servers, meaning your confidential documents stay completely private.
2. Is there a character limit on how much text I can paste?
There is no hard limit on the text box. You can paste thousands of words at once. However, for massive files like full book chapters, it is usually best to paste them section by section to keep your browser running fast and smooth.
3. What should I do if the file uploader doesn’t accept my document?
The uploader box specifically supports TXT, DOC, and DOCX formats. If you have a file in a different format, simply open that file on your computer, copy the text (Ctrl+C or Cmd+C), and paste it directly into the text window.
4. Can I change the reading speed while the voice is actively talking?
Yes. You don’t need to stop or pause the audio to change the speed. Just drag the blue slider knob left or right while the voice is reading, and the audio will instantly speed up or slow down on the fly.
5. Why does the voice occasionally pause or skip words?
This typically happens if your text contains unusual formatting symbols, broken HTML tags, or weird spacing. Cleaning up stray characters and removing broken symbols before hitting play will make the reading sound perfectly smooth.
6. Will this tool work on my smartphone or tablet?
Yes, absolutely. The tool is fully responsive and works across all modern mobile browsers on Android and iOS. You can use it on your phone just as easily as on a laptop or desktop computer.
7. Can I download the generated audio as an MP3 file?
Currently, this tool functions as a live real-time reader rather than an audio exporter. It streams the voice directly to your speakers or headphones so you can review text instantly without filling up your hard drive with large audio files.
8. Are there any hidden fees or daily limits?
None at all. The tool is entirely free to use. There are no daily caps, no premium features hidden behind paywalls, and no forced sign-ups. You can use it as much as you need, whenever you want.
