The best way to read in the language you're learning

Speaking mode / Auto-Pronounce

October 6, 2015

Speaking and listening skills are an extremely important for learning a language. Readlang already has plenty of YouTube videos for you to practice listening. Songs have proved to be a favorite:

To complement this, you can now enable Speaking Mode. This provides automatic text-to-speech when you click a word or phrase in any text, and when reviewing your flashcards, Readlang will pronounce the word or phrase as it is revealed.

Enable speaking mode via the Settings page:

Settings - Speaking Mode

These features are available to Readlang Premium subscribers only. Go Premium for only $6/month or $48/year.

UPDATE 25 May 2026: Speaking Mode is now called Auto-Pronounce. It still refers to automatic pronunciation of words and phrases you click while reading, plus flashcard and Ami pronunciation. Availability and voice quality have changed since this post was written. Auto-Pronounce may use device voices or high quality Readlang-generated voices depending on your plan, language, and device. Read Aloud is the separate feature for speaking whole texts.

It works on readlang.com and the Readlang Web Reader on desktop and Android Chrome. On iOS it only works on readlang.com.
