Text to Speech Speaker is committed to protecting your privacy. This privacy policy explains what data is collected, how it is used, and what rights you have as a user of this tool.
Text to Speech Speaker does not collect, store, transmit, or process any personal data on any server. All text processing, OCR (Optical Character Recognition), PDF extraction, and speech synthesis happen entirely within your web browser using your device's local processing power. No text, images, PDFs, or audio files are ever uploaded to or stored on any external server. Your content never leaves your device.
Your listening queue and listening history are stored locally on your device using your browser's built-in storage (localStorage). This data exists only on your device and is not accessible to anyone else. It is not transmitted to any server or third party. You can clear this data at any time by clearing your browser data or by using the "Clear All" and "Clear" buttons within the tool. Uninstalling the app or clearing your browser cache will also remove this data.
When you upload an image or use the camera feature, the OCR engine runs entirely within your browser. The image is processed locally on your device. No images are uploaded to any server for processing. The OCR library is loaded from a content delivery network (CDN) on first use and cached locally for subsequent uses. The CDN provider may log standard web server access information (IP address, timestamp) as part of normal CDN operation, but no image data or extracted text is transmitted.
When you upload a PDF document, the text extraction happens entirely within your browser. The PDF file is processed locally on your device. No PDF files are uploaded to any server. The PDF processing library is loaded from a CDN and cached locally. As with OCR, the CDN provider may log standard access information, but no document content is transmitted.
When you use the URL feature, the requested webpage is fetched through a third-party proxy service to enable cross-origin access. This is necessary because web browsers prevent direct access to other websites for security reasons. The proxy service receives the URL you requested and returns the webpage content. The proxy may log the requested URL and standard access information as part of its normal operation. No personal data, device information, or user content is sent to the proxy beyond the requested URL. The article text extraction happens locally in your browser after the page content is received.
Speech synthesis uses your device's built-in text-to-speech engine (provided by your operating system). Some devices may use network-based voices that send text to a cloud service for processing. This is controlled by your device's TTS settings and is outside the control of Text to Speech Speaker. To ensure fully offline speech synthesis, you can download offline voice packs in your device settings. The tool itself does not send any text to any speech processing service.
If you use the contact form on the contact page, your name, email address, and message are transmitted through FormSubmit.co, a third-party form processing service. FormSubmit.co processes this data to deliver your message. FormSubmit.co's own privacy policy applies to the handling of contact form submissions. No contact form data is stored by Text to Speech Speaker beyond the email delivery.
Text to Speech Speaker does not use any tracking cookies, analytics services, or user identification mechanisms. The site does not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or any similar tracking tools. Third-party advertising services (if enabled) may set their own cookies as described in their respective privacy policies. You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings.
This site may display advertisements through Google AdSense. Google AdSense may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your browsing patterns. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings page. For more information about how Google uses data, visit Google's Privacy and Terms page.
Text to Speech Speaker uses the following third-party services: content delivery networks (CDNs) for loading open-source processing libraries, a CORS proxy for URL fetching, FormSubmit.co for contact form processing, and Google AdSense for advertising. Each of these services has its own privacy policy that governs its handling of data. Text to Speech Speaker does not share any user data with these services beyond what is technically necessary for their operation.
Text to Speech Speaker does not knowingly collect any personal data from anyone, including children under the age of 13. Since the tool does not require accounts or collect personal information, there is no mechanism through which children's data could be collected or stored.
Since no user data is collected or stored on any server, there is no centralized data store that could be compromised. Your content exists only in your browser's local storage on your own device. The website is served over HTTPS encryption to protect data in transit.
Since Text to Speech Speaker does not collect or store any personal data, there is no personal data to access, modify, export, or delete on our end. Your locally stored queue and history can be cleared at any time through the tool's interface or by clearing your browser data.
This privacy policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes in the tool's features or applicable regulations. Any changes will be reflected on this page with an updated date. Continued use of the tool after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
If you have questions about this privacy policy or the tool's privacy practices, please reach out through the contact page.
