Expert Knowledge: Text to Speech — Free Browser TTS with Voice & Speed Controls
The Web Speech API's SpeechSynthesis interface is a W3C standard that lets browsers directly call the OS-level TTS engine — zero server cost, instant response. While audio quality is lower than commercial TTS services (Google Cloud TTS, Amazon Polly), it is more than sufficient for learning, accessibility, and productivity purposes.
