√ How to Add a Text-to-Speech Converter Page on Blogger

Want to add an interactive text-to-speech tool to your Blogger site? In this guide, you'll learn how to create a dedicated page on Blogger and embed a fully functional TTS (Text-to-Speech) converter using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript — all in a few simple steps.

1. What This Tool Does

The text-to-speech converter allows users to type or paste any text and convert it into spoken audio using their browser’s built-in speech engine. It's especially useful for improving accessibility and user engagement on your blog.

2. Steps to Create the Tool Page on Blogger

Follow these instructions to set up the tool:

Log in to your Blogger dashboard.
Go to Pages → click New Page.
Click the HTML tab (not 'Compose').
Paste the full HTML code (see below).
Give the page a title, such as Text-to-Speech Converter.
Click Publish.

3. Full Code to Paste

Copy the following HTML code and paste it directly into the page's HTML editor. This code combines structure, styling, and functionality in a single block so it works right away.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
  <title>Text-to-Speech Converter</title>
  <style>
    body {
      font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
      margin: 0;
      padding: 0;
      background: #f8f8f8;
    }

    .container {
      max-width: 600px;
      margin: 50px auto;
      background: #ffffff;
      padding: 30px;
      box-shadow: 0 0 10px rgba(0,0,0,0.1);

      height: 150px;
      padding: 10px;
      font-size: 16px;
      margin-bottom: 20px;
      resize: none;
    }

      font-size: 16px;
      background-color: #4CAF50;
      color: white;
      border: none;
      cursor: pointer;
    }

    button:hover {
      background-color: #45a049;
    }
  </style>
</head>
<body>
  <div class="container">
    <h2>Text-to-Speech Converter</h2>
    <p>Type or paste your text below, then click the button to hear it spoken aloud.</p>
    <textarea id="text-input" placeholder="Enter text here..."></textarea>
    <br>
    <button id="speak-button">Convert to Speech</button>
  </div>

  <script>
    document.getElementById('speak-button').addEventListener('click', function() {
      const text = document.getElementById('text-input').value;
      if (text.trim() !== '') {
        const utterance = new SpeechSynthesisUtterance(text);
        speechSynthesis.speak(utterance);
      } else {
        alert('Please enter some text.');
      }
    });
  </script>
</body>
</html>

4. Final Result

Once you've published the page, visitors to your blog will see a clean, user-friendly interface where they can input text and instantly hear it spoken. The tool uses the browser’s built-in speech capabilities, so no plugins are required.

5. Tips for Enhancing the Tool

Add speech rate and pitch sliders using JavaScript.
Allow users to choose from available system voices.
Translate the UI text if your audience is multilingual.
