Read aloud
Configure system and model speech for text playback.
Read aloud works with Chat responses and selected editor text. It is configured separately from voice transcription.
Mode
| Mode | Behavior |
|---|---|
| Auto (recommended) | Prefer a system voice and fall back to the configured model |
| Local only | Use operating-system voices; text is not sent to a model provider |
| Model only | Use the configured TTS model; network access and credentials are required |
Model and speed
For model speech, add a tts model under Model Configuration and select it as the read-aloud model. Speed ranges from 0.5x to 2.0x; the default is 1.0x.
If the local voice does not support a language, install that voice in the operating system or use a compatible TTS model.
