About this tool

Some words just need to be heard, not explained — this tool turns typed text into speech using natural voices you can slow down or speed up. Type in a new vocabulary word, a tricky sentence from the reading passage, or tomorrow's spelling list, and play it back as many times as students need. Switch voices to expose students to different accents, or slow things down for a beginner group without distorting the sound. It's the fastest way to answer "how do you say this?" without reaching for your own voice for the fiftieth time that day.
