A simple listen-and-read method
The classic comprehension loop, with your own texts instead of a course's.
1 · Read along
Listen with the text in front of you. Connect the sounds to the spelling — especially valuable in English.
2 · Replay the hard parts
Loop sentences you didn't catch. Slow them down until they resolve, then return to normal speed.
3 · Listen blind
Play the passage again without reading. What you now catch by ear is real progress.

Frequently asked questions
Using text to speech for listening practice.
- How do I use text to speech for language learning?
- Pick a text slightly above your comfortable reading level, upload or paste it, and listen while reading along. Replay sentences you didn't catch, then re-listen without the text. Adjustable speed lets you start slow and work up to natural pace.
- Which languages and accents are available?
- Nine languages: American and British English, Spanish, French, Brazilian Portuguese, Italian, Hindi, Japanese, and Mandarin Chinese — 24 voices in total. Useful for English learners choosing an accent, and for learners of any of the other languages.
- Can I compare American and British pronunciation?
- Yes — convert the same passage with an American voice and then a British one. Hearing the same words in both accents makes the differences concrete.
- Is slowed-down audio still natural?
- Speed adjustment keeps the narration intelligible rather than distorted, so you can drop the pace for new material and raise it as comprehension improves.
- What texts work best?
- Graded readers or news articles as EPUB/PDF/markdown, or any passage pasted into the free TTS studio (up to 1,000 words per paste). Content you already half-understand is the sweet spot for listening practice.
- Is it free for daily practice?
- Yes — no subscription or usage paywall. Practice daily as a guest, or make a free account to keep your texts and pick up where you stopped.
