How it works
- Click Upload above the text box and choose an image (PNG, JPG, WebP, GIF or BMP, up to 10 MB).
- Wait a moment while OCR reads the text, then fix any words it got wrong.
- Pick a voice and press play.
What kinds of images work best?
Clear, well-lit photos of printed text work best: book pages, worksheets, signs, receipts and screenshots. Handwriting, heavy glare and very small text are harder for OCR, so check the extracted text before you listen.
Does my image get uploaded?
No. Text recognition uses Tesseract running inside your browser. If you choose a cloud voice, only the extracted text is sent to create the audio; local voices keep everything on your device.
Frequently asked questions
Is image to speech free?
Yes. Upload an image, extract the text and listen with no account.
Can I just copy the text instead of listening?
Yes. The extracted text appears in the editor, where you can edit or copy it.
Which languages can it read from images?
OCR uses the language you select before uploading; pick the language of the text in the image for the best results.
