# How to Change the Text to Speech Voice

How to change the voice, speed and look of ADA Protect's text to speech, which reads your website's text aloud.

Text to speech reads your website's text aloud. Visitors turn it on in the accessibility panel, then select text to hear it. You can choose the voice and how it sounds.

Go to **Site Tools** > **ADA Protect**. If it's not there, see [How ADA Protect Works](/add-ons/ada-protect/articles-5650283-premium-add-on-ada-protect-general.md). Click **Text to Speech** on the left.

* **Language:** pick a voice under **Language and Voice**. **Now used** shows the current one.
* **Audio:** **Audio Profile** (the kind of speaker it's tuned for), **Speaking Speed** and **Pitch**.
* **Design:** the **Background Color** and **Icon Color** of the play button, and **Voice Guide**, the short message read aloud when a visitor turns text to speech on.

Leave the **API** tab as it is. It already has a key.

Click **Update** at the top to save. Then open your live website in a private window. Click the accessibility button, turn on **Text to Speech**, select some text and click play to hear the voice.
