❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Which browsers support text to speech?
Most modern browsers (Chrome, Edge, Safari, Firefox) support the Web Speech API. Voice availability varies by operating system.
Why don't I see many voices?
Voice availability depends on your operating system and browser. Windows, Mac, Android, and iOS each have different voice sets installed.
Can I download the audio?
Browser-based speech synthesis doesn't support direct audio download. For downloadable audio files, you would need server-based TTS services.
Is there a character limit?
Most browsers support very long texts. However, for very long documents, consider breaking them into smaller sections for better performance.
