How to use Read Aloud — step by step

  1. 1Open the tool you want. Done — this page is saved in your browser, so it opens with no connection.
  2. 2Turn on airplane mode (optional).Anyone can claim a tool is private. Airplane mode is what proves it — with the connection off, there's nowhere for your file to go. Skip it and everything still works, but you won't have the added privacy protection of a 100% internet disconnect.Press the airplane-mode button on your own phone, tablet or laptop.The switch is on your device, not on this page. On some laptops and phones the airplane button leaves Wi-Fi or Bluetooth running — if the instrument still shows a connection, turn those off yourself. It reads Offline the moment the connection is really gone.
  3. 3Paste or type the text you want to hear.
  4. 4Pick a voice and set the reading speed.
  5. 5Press play.
  6. 6Listen, and pause or restart whenever you like.

Uses your browser's built-in speech engine — no data leaves your device, no cost.

Tip: paste from a PDF or email to listen instead of read.

About Read Aloud

Read Aloud is a free online AI tool from Relavancy. Paste text and listen in your browser's natural voices — great for proofreading or accessibility. Unlike most web-based tools that upload your files to a remote server, Read Aloud runs entirely in your browser — your documents, photos, and text never leave your device. It works on iPhone and Android as well as desktop, with no app to install and no account to create.

Why use Read Aloud?

  • Text to speech — turn any text into spoken audio.
  • 100% private: your files are processed in your browser and never uploaded to a server.
  • No login, no account, no watermarks on your output.
  • Works on iPhone, Android, Mac, and Windows — any modern browser, no install.
  • AI-powered results without sending your actual file to the cloud where it can be stored.
  • Instant output you can download or copy in one tap.

Common uses for Read Aloud

  • Enhance and clean up photos and scans without expensive desktop software.
  • Automate text, image, and recognition tasks right from your phone or laptop.
  • Anyone who needs read aloud without installing software or creating an account.

Is Read Aloud right for you?

  • Available voices depend on your browser and operating system. Desktop browsers typically offer more natural voices than mobile.
