Private by design

Your books stay yours. Nothing is uploaded.

The voice runs inside your browser. Your text and files are never sent to a server, and there is no account to create. Your reading progress is saved only on this device.

How it works

Listen in three simple steps.

  1. 01

    Paste or upload

    Paste any text, or drop in a PDF, EPUB or TXT book. Awaaz pulls out the words for you.

  2. 02

    Press play

    Reading starts in seconds. The next sentences are prepared in the background, so it never stops to wait.

  3. 03

    Pick up where you left off

    Close the tab anytime. Your place is remembered, and you can continue from the same sentence later.

Made for real reading

Simple, natural, and in your control.

Natural voices

Eleven US and UK voices from the open Kokoro model, plus your browser's own voices as an instant option.

Follow along

The sentence being read is highlighted. Tap any sentence to jump there, and change speed from 0.75× to 2×.

Works with books

Text-based PDFs and EPUBs are read chapter by chapter. Use the space bar to play or pause, and arrow keys to skip.

Coding Moves Lab

Awaaz is an open-source experiment, free for everyone.
