Private text to speech — for text you'd rather not send to a server at all
Most text-to-speech tools are private in the sense that they promise not to misuse your data. This one is private in a stricter sense: your text never reaches a server in the first place, because there isn't one in the path.
The difference between a privacy policy and a privacy architecture
A typical cloud TTS tool sends your text to a server, generates audio there, and sends the audio back — even if their privacy policy says they don't store or read it, the text still has to leave your device to be processed. That's a policy promise. HearYourDocs runs the entire voice engine, plus PDF and DOCX text extraction, as WebAssembly directly in your browser tab — there's no server call in that path to make a promise about.
What actually happens when you use it
- Paste text or upload a .txt, .pdf, or .docx file — it's read directly by your browser, not sent anywhere.
- The voice engine converts it to audio locally, using your device's own processing.
- Press download for a real audio file, generated and saved without ever leaving your device.
Frequently asked questions
Is my text or file actually uploaded anywhere?
No. Text extraction (for PDF/DOCX) and the voice engine both run directly in your browser tab, using WebAssembly. There is no server in that path to upload to.
How is this different from a tool that just has a privacy policy?
A privacy policy is a promise about what happens after your data reaches a server. Here, your text and files never reach a server in the first place — there's nothing to promise not to misuse.
Does loading the page expose anything at all?
Loading the page pulls fonts, the voice engine, and analytics from public CDNs and Google Analytics, which see your IP address like any web request would. No document content or converted text is ever part of that.
