Everything you need to create professional voiceovers — in one tool.
Adjustable reading speed
Set the pace to match how fast the listener wants the text delivered, slower or faster than a default narration.
No pitch control, by design
Speed and temperature, an expressiveness setting, are the two sliders; there's no pitch adjustment to add unpredictability to the voice.

Every generation downloads as MP3, with WAV available from Pro upward.
SRT captions included
A timed caption file ships alongside the audio, generated from the same word timing.
Use cases
What Can You Create with Audio for Low Vision Readers?
From TikTok to podcasts — here's where creators use this tool most.
A long article read aloud
A news article, report or set of instructions converts to audio in one pass, so reading it doesn't depend on screen brightness, zoom level or how long a session can hold up.
Personal reading material
A recipe, a letter, a set of forms — anything typed or pasted becomes an audio file that plays back on whatever device is nearest.
A library or workplace offering audio on request
An organisation can generate audio for a specific document as it's requested, rather than committing to convert an entire archive upfront.
Switching between formats
The same source text can produce both an audio file and, separately, a document viewed at larger type — useful when the right format depends on the situation.

About this tool
Everything you need to know about Audio for Low Vision Readers
Audio for low vision readers turns a document, article or set of instructions into an MP3 for listening rather than reading on screen. Paste or upload the text, pick a voice, and generate — the output plays on a phone, a speaker or headphones, at a speed you set yourself. There's no pitch control, only speed and an expressiveness setting called temperature, so the reading stays close to a plain, even delivery. A caption file, SRT, comes with the audio too, useful if the same text is later needed on a screen with larger type instead.

Audio for Low Vision Readers — FAQ
Common questions users ask about the Audio for Low Vision Readers voice. If you need additional help, please contact us via the contact form or email us at support@vocallab.ai.
Can I control the pitch of the voice?
No, there's no pitch control — only speed and a temperature setting that adjusts how expressive the delivery is.
What does the audio play on?
Any device with speakers or headphones — a phone, a computer, a dedicated audio player, or a car stereo via a downloaded file.
Can I slow the reading down?
Yes, speed is adjustable before you generate, so the pace can be set slower or faster than the default.
Does this replace large-print or screen magnification?
No, it's a separate audio format. Some material is better served by audio, some by larger type on screen — this doesn't decide that for you.
