# British Text to Speech

ToolSugar reads your English in a British accent with Emma and George, right in your browser, and the result downloads as an MP3. Your text does not leave your device. They suit narration and spoken drafts where an American voice would sound out of place. Both are device voices, so there is no server option for UK English.

Runs on your device

## How it works

1. Paste your text, up to 3,000 characters. UK English is already selected.
2. Choose Emma or George.

## Questions

### Are numbers read as whole words?

Yes. In English, the voices turn digits into words. Check dates and prices by listening, because formats can be read in more than one way.

### Does it know British spelling?

It reads both spellings. Colour and color sound the same, and the accent comes from the voice rather than from how you spell.

### Can I use the audio in my video?

Yes, the MP3 is yours to download and use. You can also build a captioned video directly with Text to Video.
