Hearing a text is a quick way to catch typos and awkward sentences, to get through a long article while you do something else, to check how a script flows before you record or publish, and to make written material easier to follow for people who find reading tiring.
Cloud voices sound natural and cover English, Chinese, Spanish, French, Japanese and Korean; they count against 10,000 free characters a day without an account and 30,000 when you are signed in. Voices from your device are free, unlimited and work offline, and they differ between Windows, macOS, Android and iOS.
Sentences are sent one after another and the next few are prepared while you listen, so you are not held to 3,000 characters at a time. When your selection is more than the free characters you have left, the reader tells you and lets you continue with a device voice for free.
