Description

Woord is an online text-to-speech service that utilizes smart AI technology to convert written content into high-quality, natural-sounding audio. Users can input text directly, provide a URL of an article, or upload various document types, including PDFs, DOCX, and even image files using OCR. The platform processes the text and generates speech that emulates human voices.

The resulting audio can be played online or downloaded as an MP3 file. Woord offers hosting for the audio files along with an HTML embeddable player, allowing users to integrate the generated speech into websites, videos, e-learning modules, and other commercial applications.
