Yomiage Maker
Free Text-to-Speech Button Maker for PDFs

Place read-aloud buttons anywhere on a PDF, then export a single self-contained HTML file — click a button and the text is read aloud, using your browser's built-in text-to-speech. Free, unlimited, no account required. Your file is processed entirely inside your browser and is never uploaded anywhere, so it's safe to use with tests, worksheets, or original materials.

Note: the tool itself is in Japanese, but the interface is simple and icon-driven (upload, click, place, download) — most users get the hang of it in under a minute without reading Japanese. A short visual guide is below.

Who is this for?

Teachers and support staff — provide read-aloud access to tests, worksheets, or handouts as a testing accommodation, without sending student materials to any server.

Special needs and inclusive education — give students who benefit from audio support a way to hear any part of a document read aloud, exactly where they need it.

What it does

How it works

  1. Open a PDF — upload any PDF
  2. Place buttons — click anywhere on the page to add a read-aloud button, and type the text it should speak
  3. Download — save the result as a single HTML file that anyone can open and use, no installation needed

Only have a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file? See how to convert it to PDF first.

FAQ

Is it really free?

Yes. No account, no time limit, no usage limit for the core PDF-to-audio-button tool.

What happens to my file?

Nothing is uploaded. The PDF is read and processed entirely inside your browser using JavaScript, so it's safe to use even with materials containing personal or copyrighted content.

Can I use it for teaching or institutional use?

Yes, commercial and institutional use is fine — schools, support services, and individual teachers are all welcome to use it.

Can I use Word or Excel files?

Convert them to PDF first, then upload. See the step-by-step conversion guide.

Does the voice sound different depending on my device?

Yes — voice, speed, and pitch depend on your browser and operating system's built-in text-to-speech engine, since no audio is generated or stored on a server. We recommend checking playback on the device you'll actually use before relying on it, e.g. for a test.

Should I double-check the text?

Yes — please always review the text you enter for each button yourself before using the file, since text-to-speech pronunciation isn't always perfect.
