Frequently Asked Questions
Does this tool upload my PDF to any server?▼
No. All processing happens locally in your browser. The PDF is never uploaded to any server. This tool is fully offline once loaded and never sends your files over the network.
What browsers support this PDF text-to-speech tool?▼
This tool works in modern browsers that support the Web Speech API (speechSynthesis). This includes Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari, and Opera. If your browser does not support speech synthesis, you will see a message on the page.
Can I listen to specific pages of a PDF?▼
Yes! You can choose to listen to all pages or select a specific page range (e.g., pages 3-7). You can also enable page-by-page playback mode, which automatically advances to the next page when the current page finishes.
What happens if my PDF contains scanned images?▼
If a page appears to be a scanned image (contains no extractable text), the tool will show a non-blocking notice that OCR is not available offline. The tool will continue processing other pages that contain text.
Can I adjust the voice and speech settings?▼
Yes! You can choose from available voices on your system, adjust the speech rate (0.8x to 1.4x), and modify the pitch (0.8 to 1.2). These settings can be changed at any time, and the speech will restart with the new settings.
Is there a file size limit?▼
There is a soft limit of 10MB file size or 150 pages to ensure good performance. However, you can override this limit with an "Process anyway (experimental)" option if you want to try larger files.
