Overview

TTSReader is a web-based (plus mobile/PWA) text-to-speech (TTS) tool. You paste or upload text (or point to a webpage) and it reads it aloud using natural-sounding voices. You can adjust voice, speed, language, and in some cases export the audio. 
It’s developed by WellSource Ltd. (Israel) under the brand TTSReader. 

For creators, educators, or anyone who wants to listen to written content (articles, books, PDFs, web pages) instead of reading, it offers a simple way to convert text into spoken audio. It also supports export for voice-overs, audiobooks, accessibility use cases. That means you save time, increase reach (audio format), improve accessibility, and reuse text assets in new formats. 

You go to the player at ttsreader.com/player, paste your text or upload a file, pick a voice/language, hit play. The system highlights text as it’s read (helpful for following along). In premium mode you can export MP3 audio, combine voices/languages, and access “premium AI voices.” 
There is also a plugin version you can drop on your website (one line of code) to add a “listen” button for visitors.

FAQ

Can I use the output commercially (e.g., in a YouTube video or podcast)?
Yes — if you are on the Premium plan (or above) and use premium voices with the commercial publishing rights included. Free plan typically restricts commercial use of premium voices.
What additional benefits does the Premium plan offer over Free?
Premium gives access to premium AI voices, export and publishing rights, higher quotas and credit usage. Free offers basic voices for personal listening only. Premium also removes limits/branding associated with free tier.
How private is my text? Will it be used to train their models?
The site states: “Your text is not sent to us unless you chose to use cloud sync.” (TTSReader Text To Speech) However, there is no detailed public statement about “we do not train on your text,” so if this is critical you may want to ask them directly.
Does it integrate with websites (for example, “Listen to this article” button)?
Yes — they offer a plugin version that you can embed with a single line of code. Free version for general use; custom versions may require payment.
Can I export to MP3/wav and use in editing workflows?
Yes — export to MP3 is supported (via “single-click export” or record method) especially on Premium. The docs show a “Download the synthesized speech as an mp3 audio file” workflow.
Are there limits on how much text I can convert?
Yes — free plan allows regular voices unlimited for personal use, but for premium voices there are quotas (e.g., ~1 million characters/month in the Premium plan). Pay-as-you-go allows higher volume via credits.
