Text-to-Speech Waveform Effects
Just type text and press play: the browser’s speech synthesis reads it aloud while a waveform effect moves in sync. Switch between 6 patterns (Dot Ring, Pulse Core, Linear Wave, Spectrum, Aurora, and Raphael, a golden magic circle) and colors, with full-screen support.
STEP 1
Enter text to read aloud
STEP 2
Choose a waveform effect
Multiple rings of dots ripple like a flower with the voice
Color
Higher values make the wave swing and glow stronger.
STEP 3
Adjust the voice
Speech uses the voice engine installed on your device. Available voices vary by browser and OS, and your text is never sent to a server. Changing the speed also changes how fast the waveform moves.
ABOUT
About Text-to-Speech Waveform Effects
Text-to-Speech Waveform Effects reads your text aloud with the browser’s speech synthesis while a waveform visual moves along with the voice. Choose from 6 patterns: Dot Ring made of dots, Pulse Core with a throbbing center, an oscilloscope-style Linear Wave, Spectrum bars, Aurora, and Raphael, a rotating golden magic circle. You can also switch the color, effect strength, and full-screen display.
How to use Text-to-Speech Waveform Effects
- 1Enter the text you want read aloud
- 2Choose a waveform pattern (Dot Ring, Pulse Core, Linear Wave, Spectrum, Aurora, Raphael) and a color
- 3Adjust the voice, speed, pitch, and volume with the sliders
- 4Press “Start reading” and the waveform starts moving with the speech
- 5For streams or recordings, use the full-screen button to show only the visual at a large size
Great for
- Show a visual that moves with a speaking voice on a stream or event waiting screen
- Record an effect synced to narration as material for videos or shorts
- Check a script by ear while following the reading position with your eyes
- Create footage with the feel of a spell-casting scene using the magic-circle effect
- See the voice’s intonation as a waveform in places where the volume is turned down
Good to know
- Speech uses the voice engine installed on your device (Web Speech API), so the available voices vary by browser and OS.
- Your text is processed in the browser and never sent to a server.
- On smartphones, silent mode or volume settings may stop sound from playing.
- The waveform is an effect that moves with the reading position, not a waveform analyzed from the audio itself.
- Changing the speed, pitch, or volume also changes how the waveform moves along with the speech.
- The full-screen button shows only the visual at a large size, so you can use it on a stream screen too.

FAQ
- What waveform patterns can I choose?
- There are 6: Dot Ring (multiple rings of dots rippling like a flower), Pulse Core (a glowing core and shock waves), Linear Wave (oscilloscope style), Spectrum (vertically symmetrical bars), Aurora (overlapping ribbons), and Raphael (a golden magic circle). All except Raphael can also switch between 4 color themes.
- Can I change the voice and speed?
- Yes. You can pick from the voices your device supports and adjust speed, pitch, and volume with sliders. You can also narrow the list to voices for the current language only.
- What should I do if there’s no sound?
- Check your device volume, silent mode, and whether the browser tab is muted. On iOS and some other systems, speech starts only after you tap the screen and press “Start reading”.
- Is the text I enter saved?
- No. Both the speech and the waveform drawing happen entirely in the browser, and nothing you enter is sent anywhere.
- Can I download the speech audio or video?
- Due to how browsers work, there’s no way to save synthesized speech directly as a file. If you want to keep it as video, switch to full screen and use your device’s screen recording.
