The Reader Mode workflow

  1. Open the article or webpage in Firefox, Safari, or Edge.
  2. Activate Reader Mode (the icon in the address bar that strips ads and clutter).
  3. Select all (Cmd/Ctrl + A) and copy.
  4. Paste into FreeTextoSpeech. Tags and markup are already stripped by the browser.
  5. Pick a voice and generate. Download the WAV.

Use cases

  • Listen to articles on commutes — turn long-form journalism into a personal audio feed.
  • Audio companions for blog posts — publish a WAV alongside every article for accessibility.
  • Proofread landing copy by ear — catch awkward phrasing before launch.
  • Accessibility for visually impaired users who prefer browsing by listening.
  • Multilingual reading — paste content in any of the nine supported languages and it reads correctly.

Long pages

FreeTextoSpeech accepts up to 5,000 characters per request. Most blog posts and articles fit easily; longer pieces can be split at section headings and generated as multiple segments. There is no daily or monthly cap, so even a 50,000-word longread is doable — it just requires a few extra clicks.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

01 How do I convert HTML to speech?
Two paths. (1) Open the page in your browser, select the text you want, copy, and paste into FreeTextoSpeech — this strips HTML automatically. (2) For a saved .html file, open it in a browser, then use Reader Mode (Firefox, Safari, Edge) to extract clean prose, copy, and paste.
02 Will the engine read HTML tags aloud?
Only if you paste raw HTML markup. If you select text from a rendered page, the browser strips the tags for you. Always copy from the rendered page, not the View Source view.
03 Why convert HTML to speech?
Most common reasons: making a blog post into an audio companion, listening to long articles during commutes, accessibility for visually impaired users, and proofreading copy on landing pages by ear before publishing.
04 Can I scrape a whole webpage automatically?
FreeTextoSpeech does not fetch URLs — it works on text you paste. For automated scraping, run a tool like Mercury Parser, Readability.js, or curl + pandoc to extract the article body, then paste the result into FreeTextoSpeech.
05 How do Reader Modes help?
Reader Mode in Firefox, Safari, and Edge strips ads, navigation, comments, and boilerplate, leaving only the article text. Activate Reader Mode, select all, copy, and paste into FreeTextoSpeech for the cleanest possible read.
