DOCUMENT TEXT STAYS ON YOUR COMPUTER
Neural TTS speech synthesis and supported OCR are handled on the user's Windows computer. ReadThisAloud.com supports account, license, device authorization, and character metering using the operational information needed to run the licensed service rather than the source document text used for narration.
Choose inside the Reader
Choose the voice that makes your documents easier to stay with.
Voice selection is part of the Reader itself. Open Settings and choose the neural TTS voice you prefer for reports, training material, research, books, webpages, and everyday documents.
Natural-sounding neural TTS
ReadThisAloud is designed to provide clear, natural-sounding text-to-speech narration for documents, webpages, OCR text, and pasted content.
Narration stays on your computer
Neural TTS speech is generated on the Windows computer instead of sending the source document text to an online speech provider for narration.
Voice setup is managed by ReadThisAloud
The Reader manages the voice resources required for supported neural TTS narration so customers can select and use available voices from Settings.
Character metering remains active
Your plan's narration allowance applies regardless of which neural TTS voice you select. The service uses the character count required for authorization and metering rather than the source document text used for narration.
Recognized text joins the same Reader workflow
Supported scanned PDF pages and image files can be recognized with Windows OCR and then read with the same narration, highlighting, navigation, and export tools.
What to expect
Choose the voice that works best for your reading.
Pronunciation can vary
Names, acronyms, abbreviations, medical terms, product names, URLs, numbers, and unusual punctuation may sound different from what a particular listener expects.
Punctuation matters
The Reader uses punctuation-aware narration behavior to improve natural pauses, phrasing, and flow.
Voice availability can evolve
ReadThisAloud may improve, add, rename, replace, or remove neural TTS voice options as the Reader is updated.
Document text stays on your device
Neural TTS narration is generated on the Windows computer and does not require source document text to be sent to ReadThisAloud.com or an online speech provider for speech synthesis.
MP3 rights follow source rights
Exporting narration to MP3 does not give you copyright or other rights in source content you were not already entitled to use.
Review important output
When pronunciation or exact wording matters professionally, listen to representative content in the Reader and review generated audio before distribution.
