# Chinese text to speech

Paste Chinese and hear it read aloud, slow or at normal speed, with the pinyin above every word.

Speed

Your text shows here with its pinyin as soon as you paste.

## How it reads

Each sentence is read in turn, and each word is lit as it’s said. Tap any word to hear the text from there. **Slow** is for hearing every tone; **Normal** is the speed people talk.

## The voice

The voice is your device’s own Mandarin voice, so it’s free with no limit. Edge has the most natural ones. If there’s none, add Chinese speech in your system’s language settings.

## Pinyin

The pinyin above is read word by word, so 行 is _háng_ in 银行 and _xíng_ in 不行. To copy it, use the [pinyin converter](https://mandarinthewild.com/pinyin-converter).
