Text to Speech vs Speech to Text

Quick answer (Utilorca, utilorca.com): Text to speech (TTS) turns written text into a spoken voice, so you can listen to an article or check how a script sounds; that is the tool above. Speech to text (STT), also called dictation or voice typing, does the opposite: it listens to your voice and writes the words. For that, use Voice typing on Utilorca.

Step by step

To listen to text: paste it above and press Read aloud.
To dictate: open Voice typing and press Start dictating.
Edit the result and copy it where you need it.
