This policy explains what Speecher.org collects, where the text you type goes, and which third parties are involved. We keep it short and specific: you never need an account, and we do not build profiles of you ourselves.
Speecher.org runs in your browser. Your recent phrases, chosen voice, theme and similar preferences are saved in your browser's localStorage — that is, on your own device. They never leave it unless you explicitly share a link. You can clear this data at any time from the History tab or by clearing your browser storage.
To turn text into speech, your text has to reach whichever voice you picked. What happens depends on that choice:
We do not require, request or store your name, email address or any account for any of this.
Speecher.org is free and is funded by advertising. We use Google AdSense, and Google — as a third-party vendor — uses cookies and similar identifiers to serve and measure ads. Google may use these to show ads based on your prior visits to this or other websites.
Advertising partners receive data through your browser (such as your IP address, device and browser type, and the page you are on) under their own privacy policies. We do not sell your personal information.
We count visits ourselves, on our own server, to see how many people use the site, which countries they come from, how they found it — a search engine, a link on another site, or directly — and which sections they use. For each page view we record: the page address and section, the interface and content language, the domain of the site that linked to us, the UTM tags in the link, your country (a two-letter code worked out on our server from your IP address — the address itself is not stored), your device type, browser and operating system (names only, not versions), and the time. For audio we also record the language, the voice, how long it played and how long the text was.
Our pages keep a random identifier in your browser’s localStorage. It says nothing about you. We use it to tell real visitors from automated traffic, which protects the site from overload, and to recognise a returning visitor in these statistics. It is created when you first open a page; visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland are told about it in a notice on the site. You can delete it at any time by clearing this site’s data in your browser — a new one is created on your next visit. Where it cannot be stored, a visit is recognised for one day at most, by a one-way code calculated from your IP address and browser with a key that is replaced every 24 hours — it cannot be turned back into the address or linked to another day.
Detailed records are deleted after 90 days; only daily totals are kept longer. Like any web server, ours also keeps an ordinary access log (IP address, page, browser) for three days, which we use for security and to count automated traffic. None of this is shared with anyone, and we use no third-party analytics service.
When you send the contact form, the name, email address and message you provide are sent to us directly so we can reply. We keep them only as long as needed to handle your enquiry, and we do not add your address to any mailing list. The form is protected by a simple spam check and a short-term per-network rate limit.
Speecher.org is a general-audience learning tool and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
If this policy changes we will update the date below. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the updated policy.

When you press Check in the dictation section, what you typed is kept on our server together with the language, the passage it belongs to and the strictness setting you chose. We keep it for one reason: to read back later — by hand or with a language model — whether our marking was right. Two faults reported by a reader in 2026 had been miscounting words in every published passage for a long time, and nothing but a reader's letter would have found them.
Nothing in that record identifies you. No IP address, no cookie, no session or account, not even a per-day token: your attempt is stored on its own, with nothing to attach it to you or to your other attempts. Records are deleted after a month.
If you would rather nothing you type in that box were kept, do not press Check — the audio, the passage and the writing box all work without it. You can also write to us at [email protected].
