Paste your text, pick a voice and hear it straight away. 5,000 characters per go, 10 minutes of speech a day, no account — and the MP3 download is included, not sold separately.
Paste, pick a voice, press play: text to voice in one step, with nothing to install.
No account. 10 minutes of speech a day. Resets at midnight.
Most "free" text to speech generators meter you: an account first, then a monthly allowance of credits, and the download button behind a paywall. The best-known one gives you 10,000 credits a month and asks you to sign in before you hear a word.
This page works the other way round. Type or paste up to 5,000 characters, press one button and listen. No account, no credit counter — 10 minutes of speech a day, resets at midnight. When a text is longer, split it and run the parts back to back. The speech is generated on our own hardware, which is why that daily allowance is generous next to a paid API's credit count.
It is also the mirror of what this site is known for: audio to text turns speech into writing, this turns writing into speech. If you have voice memos you want typed out, that's voice to text, on the other page.
The result is an MP3 you download from the same page, free and not sold separately. There is no character budget per month; the only limits are 5,000 characters per go and 10 minutes of speech a day. The text to speech Google builds into Android and Chrome reads your screen aloud but doesn't hand you a file. This page makes one you can keep, on any device with a browser.
The voices come from a text to speech AI model that runs on our own processors rather than a paid cloud API, which is why the text to speech AI free tier can be this generous. The AI is also why the reading sounds natural instead of flat. Each AI voice text to speech result is a plain MP3, and as free AI text to speech goes, the only honest test is to press play and listen before you decide.
A voice you haven't heard is a voice you can't judge, so the result arrives as a player first: press play, and if it sounds right, the MP3 download sits next to it. No preview-with-a-catch — the file you hear is the file you get.
There are five voices: three American (two female, one male) and two British (one female, one male). They read naturally — sentences flow, questions rise, abbreviations are spoken out — rather than the flat robot voice older generators produce.
A paragraph takes a few seconds; the full 5,000 characters comes back as roughly six minutes of audio in about a minute of processing.
The voices are English — American and British — for now. Other languages follow when they pass the same quality bar; a language done badly is worse than a language missing. Pick the British voices for UK English or the American ones for US English.
It reads, it does not clone. You cannot upload someone's voice and make it say things — the consent problems there are real, and we would rather skip the feature than pretend they aren't.
It reads prose best. Tables, code and heavy math notation come out the way they would if a person read them aloud cold — plain sentences give the cleanest result.
The text is processed on our own hardware, not sent to a third-party API. It is not stored, not logged and not used to train anything.
The generated audio gets a private link and is deleted automatically after 45 minutes — download the MP3 and it is yours; leave it, and it is gone. See privacy for the full picture.
Yes. This free online text to speech converter needs no account, has no credit meter and stamps no audio tags into the file. You get 5,000 characters per go and up to 10 minutes of speech a day, and it resets at midnight. Text to speech online free really means free here: ads around the tool pay for the hardware.
Yes. The MP3 is yours to keep and use, including in monetised videos and commercial projects, with no attribution needed. It drops onto a CapCut or DaVinci Resolve timeline like any audio file, and you can play it offline once it's downloaded.
No. The free text to speech recording downloads straight from the page as an MP3, so there's no recorder or extra software involved.
English text to speech only for now, in five text to speech voices: three American (two female, one male) and two British (one female, one male). That's five voice speech options in total, and which text to speech AI voice you use is your choice before generating. They aim for realistic text to speech, not the flat robot text to speech voice older generators produce, but press play and judge each text to speech voice yourself. More languages will follow once they read as naturally as these.
5,000 characters per go, which is roughly six minutes of audio. The free tier gives you up to 10 minutes of speech a day, so split a longer text into a couple of goes.
A paragraph takes a few seconds. The full 5,000 characters takes about a minute of processing for roughly six minutes of audio. There's no text to speech timer on screen; the player appears when it's done.
No text is stored. It is processed on our own hardware, the audio is deleted automatically after 45 minutes, pass or no pass, and neither the text nor the audio is used for training. Download the MP3 before you close the tab if you want to keep it.
No, deliberately. Unlike a voice generator text to speech tool that copies voices, this one gives you five fixed voices; uploading someone's voice to imitate them is a consent minefield we stay out of.
Unusual names and invented words are read phonetically, the way a person seeing them for the first time would. Ordinary prose reads naturally.
Yes, in chunks. It works as a free text reader: paste up to 5,000 characters per go, which covers most articles in one pass, and it will read text out loud in the voice you picked. A book needs several goes. Use it as a text reader free of charge when you want to read out loud text you're proofreading, since hearing it catches mistakes your eyes skip, or to read aloud text for someone who prefers listening. As a text to speech reader it does best on plain prose: text copied out of a PDF reads well, while tables and heavy formatting come out oddly, the way they would if a person read them cold.
Most online text to speech services, ElevenLabs included, ask for an account and count monthly credits, and ElevenLabs has far more voices and languages. As a text to speech service online this one is free with no account and no credit meter, for up to 5,000 characters per go and 10 minutes a day, in five English voices.
Siri text to speech reads aloud on your iPhone inside Apple's apps, Word's Read Aloud button reads a document once, and CapCut AI voices live inside its video editor. This online text to speech tool gives you a downloadable MP3 of any text, in any browser, with no app or sign-in. It's the simplest way to make a computer speak text and keep the result.
No text to speech extension and no app. It's a text to speech website that works the same in any browser, so the text to speech site behaves identically on a phone, tablet or desktop, and there is nothing to install or keep updated. Used as a text to speech free online tool, it turns typed text to talk you can play anywhere. Unlike text to speech freeware that you install on your computer, this one is a web page, so the only thing you download is the finished MP3.
No. Each pass reads everything in the one voice you chose, at a natural, even pace. There is no per-character voice switching, no speed control and no shouting or whispering mode, and the text speech output has no music or effects underneath.
No. You type or paste the full text first, then press the button once to generate the audio. It's built for text you want as a finished file.
