What LetMeSpeech is

LetMeSpeech is a free web reader that converts written text to speech while highlighting each spoken word. Six playback modes let you read one word, three words, a sentence, text through punctuation, a paragraph, or the whole passage. Hovering over text previews playback boundaries. The reader supports 31 languages, can detect the text language, and select a corresponding system voice through the Web Speech API in browsers including Chrome, Edge, and Safari. Users can paste and edit articles, chapters, drafts, or notes described as up to tens of thousands of words. Speed ranges from 0.5× to 1.2× and volume from 0–100%. LetMeSpeech remembers the reading position and playback settings between sessions. It works on phones, tablets, and desktop, with a mobile toolbar, and requires no account or installation. The maker says text is processed in the browser, nothing is sent to a server, and text and settings are stored locally. The Free plan costs nothing.
