FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about using text to speech with PDF documents

How is this different from a screen reader?

+
Built-in screen readers use robotic system voices and require your screen to stay on. Our AI voices sound natural and human-like, and you can download the audio as MP3 to listen offline on any device.

Can I preview voices before converting?

+
Yes! Upload your PDF and preview any voice with a short sample of your actual text. Compare voices, speeds, and pitches before converting the full document.

What languages are supported?

+
8 languages with 75 voices: American English (27), British English (8), Japanese (5), French (7), German (7), Spanish (10), Chinese (8), and Portuguese (3).

How long does conversion take?

+
Preview generation takes 2-5 seconds. Full conversion: 10 pages in 30-60 seconds, 100 pages in 3-5 minutes. Pro users get priority processing.

What's the maximum file size?

+
We support PDFs up to 50MB (approximately 150 pages). This covers most articles, textbooks, research papers, and business documents.

Is my PDF stored on your servers?

+
No. Text extraction happens in your browser — your PDF never leaves your device. Only the extracted text is sent for voice synthesis. We maintain a strict zero file storage policy.

Can I use this for language learning?

+
Absolutely. Choose a voice in your target language, slow the speed to 0.5x, and follow along with the text. It's an effective way to improve listening comprehension and pronunciation.

What audio format is produced?

+
All conversions produce high-quality MP3 files at 128kbps. Compatible with all devices — smartphones, tablets, computers, and car audio systems.

Does it work with scanned PDFs?

+
Our TTS works best with text-based PDFs. Scanned documents (image-based) need OCR processing first to extract the text before conversion.

Can I adjust how the voice sounds?

+
Yes. Control playback speed (0.5x to 2x) and pitch to customize the listening experience. Slower speeds are great for language learning, faster speeds for quick reviews.
