WHEN IT HELPS

Common uses

  • Listen to a draft to spot awkward phrasing or repeated words.
  • Practise English pronunciation by replaying a short passage at a slower speed.

IN PRACTICE

Example

Paste “Welcome to Toolnoza”, choose an English voice and set the speed to 0.8× to listen more slowly.

GOOD TO KNOW

Can I download the speech as MP3?

Yes. Generate a local MP3 using the separate synthetic export voice in English, French, Spanish or German. Export accepts up to 3,000 characters and uses the speed and pitch settings. Browser playback supports more voices, which are not used for MP3 export.

Voices are supplied by your device or browser. Online voices may send text to their provider. Language availability, pronunciation and pause support vary. MP3 export uses a separate basic synthetic voice in English, French, Spanish or German, limited to 3,000 characters.
