UNLOCK PREMIUM VOICES FIRST

This app uses your browser's built-in TTS engine. Microsoft Edge has 300+ premium voices — far better than Chrome or Firefox. To activate them:

🖥 Edge Desktop
📱 Edge Mobile
🌐 Other Browser
Right-click anywhere on this page (not on a button or link)
Select Read aloud from the context menu
A reading toolbar appears at the top — click Voice options
Change the voice once to force Edge to load its full voice list
Close the toolbar, then click LOAD VOICES below
💡 This only needs to be done once per browser session. Voices stay available until you close the tab.
Tap the three-dot menu (⋯) at the bottom of Edge
Scroll down and tap Read aloud
Tap the voice name at the top to open voice selection
Change the voice once, then close Read Aloud
Tap LOAD VOICES below
💡 If ⋯ is at the top instead, your Edge version may differ — look for Read aloud in the same menu. On iPhone, Edge runs on the same underlying engine as Safari (Apple requires it), so this trick and the Edge-TTS engine below can behave the same as Safari, not like Edge on Windows.
Chrome & Firefox have limited voices (~5–15 depending on your OS)
Click LOAD VOICES below — it will show what's available
For the best experience, open this page in Microsoft Edge
💡 On Windows, Edge is pre-installed. On Mac/Linux, download it free from microsoft.com/edge

SPEAKER TAG FORMAT (OPTIONAL)

Add character voices by tagging dialogue lines:

The detective stepped into the rain.
[SPKR: Alice]
I've been waiting for you.
She smiled, but her eyes were cold.
[SPKR: Bob]
You shouldn't have come here alone.

Everything without a tag is read by Narrator. Each unique speaker name becomes its own character with its own voice.
