Paste text, hear it read aloud
Paste an email, a draft, notes or anything else you've copied, and tta1 reads it aloud in a natural voice.
Choose one of 30 voices and 25 languages, and tta1 translates the text first if you want to hear it in another language.

What people turn into audio
Your own writing
Hearing a draft read back is one of the fastest ways to catch clunky sentences, missing words and typos.
Long emails and reports
Listen to the long message you've been putting off while you get on with something else.
Study notes
Turn notes into audio and go over them on a walk or before an exam.
Text from behind a login
Pages tta1 can't open, like paywalled stories or internal docs, can be copied and pasted in instead.
Clean, natural reading
tta1 reads pasted text as paragraphs, with natural pauses between them, so it sounds like someone reading to you rather than a machine spelling out a block of characters.
If the text is in another language, pick the one you want to hear and tta1 translates it before reading. That makes it handy for messages, documents and articles written in a language you're still learning.
