How it works
The reading is done by the voices built into your phone or computer, the same ones used by screen readers. That is why it works without an account and why your text never leaves your device. It also means the list of voices is different on every device.
Getting a good Hindi voice
- Android: Chrome usually offers a Google Hindi (India) voice. If it is missing, open Settings, search for “Text-to-speech output”, and install Hindi in the Google speech engine.
- iPhone and iPad: open Settings → Accessibility → Spoken Content → Voices → Hindi, and download a voice such as Lekha.
- Windows: open Settings → Time & language → Speech, and add the Hindi voice pack. Microsoft Edge also offers natural online voices.
Tick Show only Hindi and Indian English voices under More options to find them quickly.
Good uses
- Revising notes while travelling, or checking an answer by ear.
- Hearing how a Hindi or English word is pronounced.
- Proofreading: you hear missing words and repeated words that your eyes skip.
- Helping someone who finds reading tiring, or is learning to read.
Can I download it as MP3?
Not from a browser. Websites are not allowed to record the voices built into your device, so any site that offers an MP3 has to send your text to its own server to make the audio. If you need a recording of something that is not private, use your phone’s screen recorder while it plays.
Questions people ask
Why can't I see a Hindi voice?
Your device has not installed one yet. See the steps above for Android, iPhone and Windows, then reload this page.
Is it free?
Yes, with no limit on length. Long texts are read sentence by sentence so the voice does not stop halfway.
Is my text sent to a server?
Not to FileFitly. Most voices run on your device; voices marked online belong to your browser maker and work like the browser's own read-aloud feature.
Can it read a PDF or a photo?
Copy the text first. For a photo or scan, use Image to Text, then paste the result here.
