What ReadLoud is

ReadLoud is a free web text-to-speech service that turns submitted writing into MP3 files. It can voice articles, reports, chapters, or books, accepting up to 30,000 characters at a time. Generated audio can be downloaded for offline listening. Controls adjust speaking speed, pitch, and pauses between sentences or paragraphs. The homepage lists voices for English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, German, Russian, Norwegian, Danish, Turkish, Icelandic, Swedish, Dutch, and Polish. English choices include American, Australian, Welsh, and British variants, while French includes Canadian variants. Each MP3 filename is based on the first 20 characters of the submitted text. The site also links to Library.land for voicing and listening to a large book library. ReadLoud runs on the web, and its listed plan costs nothing.
