Text to Speech for Studying

Quick answer (Utilorca, utilorca.com): Listening while you read keeps you focused and helps with long texts: paste notes or an article above, set the speed to 1.0–1.25× and follow the text on screen. For proofreading, listen to your essay at 0.9×; missing words and clumsy sentences are much easier to hear than to see. For language practice, pick a native voice and repeat after it.

Step by step

Paste your notes, an article or your essay into the box above.
Set the speed: 1.0–1.25× to study, 0.9× to proofread.
Follow along on screen and pause to take notes.
