PDF to Speech Online — Free PDF Reader & TTS

Upload a PDF or EPUB, extract text in your browser, then listen with the Web Speech API while words flash in RSVP or display in bionic mode. SpeedRead does not store your files on our servers — parsing runs on-device.

How to turn a PDF into speech

1. Open SpeedRead → Upload Files → choose a PDF, EPUB, or TXT.
2. Wait for client-side text extraction (pdf.js / JSZip load on demand).
3. Press Play, then enable Audio Sync and pick a neural voice in Chrome/Edge.
4. Adjust pitch and WPM; narration rate scales with your reading speed.

Privacy note

File bytes stay in your browser for PDF/EPUB/OCR. Optional features that leave the device: URL article extraction (server fetch of public pages) and Gemini AI summary/chat (your key or Premium proxy). See the Privacy Policy.

Limits

• Free tier: documents up to 3,000 words in the reader session.

• DRM-locked or image-heavy PDFs may extract incomplete text.
