Text to Speech for Accessibility
Some people find it easier to listen than to read — because of a vision difference, dyslexia, eye strain, or just personal preference. This tool converts articles, documents, and written text into an MP3 you can listen to instead.

What this is, and isn't
This is a general-purpose text-to-speech tool. It isn't certified against WCAG, ADA, or any other formal accessibility standard, and it isn't a screen reader or assistive technology integration — it's a way to manually convert a piece of text into an audio file when that's useful to you.
If you need a certified accessibility solution for a website, product, or organization, this isn't a substitute for one. If you just want to turn an article or document into something you can listen to instead of read, it does that directly.
How people use it
Long articles and reports
Paste an article or import a PDF/Word document and listen instead of reading a long block of text on screen.
Study material
Some people retain information better by listening, or want a break from screen reading during long study sessions.
Eye strain breaks
Converting a document to audio lets you step away from the screen while still getting through the content.
Proofreading by ear
Hearing your own writing read aloud is a genuinely useful editing technique — awkward phrasing is often easier to catch by ear than by eye.
How to convert text to audio
1. Paste or import
Paste text directly, or import a PDF or Word file. Each generation covers up to 5,000 characters.
2. Pick a voice and pace
Choose a voice and adjust the reading rate — slower often works better for dense or technical material.
3. Listen or download
Play it back in the browser, or download the MP3 to listen offline later.
Frequently asked questions
Is this certified as an accessibility tool?
No. It's a general text-to-speech tool, not a certified assistive technology or WCAG/ADA compliance solution.
Can I convert a whole PDF report at once?
Each generation covers up to 5,000 characters, so longer documents need to be split into sections.
Does it work with screen readers?
It isn't a screen-reader integration — it's a standalone tool you use to generate an MP3 from text you paste or import.
