Interactive example

Sample passage

You can listen to this sentence while following it on the page at your own pace.

This is a fixed example. Open Workspace to use your own text or document.

Why it helps

Listen and follow the text in one place.

Read-aloud is most useful when the visual page remains easy to follow. Workspace lets you combine browser speech with your preferred font, spacing, colour and line focus.

1

Uses speech voices already available in your browser or device

2

Pause and continue while the active paragraph stays visible

3

Combine read-aloud with font, spacing, theme and line-focus controls

How to use the real tool

From your document to a readable result

  1. 01

    Open or paste text in Workspace

  2. 02

    Choose the paragraph where you want to begin

  3. 03

    Press Read aloud, then pause or stop whenever you need

Know the limit: Voice availability, pronunciation and controls differ by browser and operating system. Read-aloud is not a substitute for checking critical written information.

Questions before you try it

Is text to speech free?

Yes. Workspace read-aloud and the extension read-aloud tools are part of the free reading toolkit.

Can I choose any voice?

Dyslexly uses voices exposed by your browser and operating system, so the available options depend on your device.

Does the text get sent to a speech server?

Dyslexly calls the browser speech feature. The browser or operating system controls how its selected voice is produced.

Try it on a sample before you pay.

The reading workspace is free. Pro has a seven-day no-card trial, then £24.99/year.
