Text to Speech.

Type anything and have it read aloud — instantly with your device’s system voices, or with neural AI voices that run in your browser and export to real MP3 / WAV files.

VOICE DETAIL MAP

Text Voice Renderer

Keep speech intelligible while changing only the target detail. The voice path makes phrases, breaths, consonants and tonal character visible as separate decisions instead of treating dialogue as one uniform waveform.

A speech-aware signal path: local voice events are identified, processed within bounded spans and returned to a continuous phrase.

  1. Written script

    Start with the right material

    Voiceover drafts, accessibility listening and generating a reference read of short scripts.

  2. Synthesize narration

    Understand the transformation

    System mode calls browser or OS speech synthesis; Kokoro mode downloads its runtime and model for local inference.

  3. Spoken audio file

    Verify the usable result

    Immediate spoken playback, with downloadable audio available in the neural workflow where supported.

Voice cadence

Where this workflow stops

Voice selection, pronunciation and system-mode export vary by browser. The optional neural package is large and can be slow on low-memory devices.

THREE-PASS CHECK

Make the final decision by ear

  • Listen to complete phrases so edits retain natural timing.
  • Protect consonants and breaths that carry intelligibility or emotion.
  • Compare on both headphones and ordinary speakers before delivery.

How to turn text into speech

  1. Type or paste the text you want to hear into the text box.
  2. Choose a voice — your device's built-in voices are grouped by language, with in-browser neural AI voices available too.
  3. Fine-tune the rate, pitch and volume sliders until the delivery sounds right.
  4. Press speak to listen, pause or stop any time — and with a neural voice, download the result as MP3 or WAV.

This text-to-speech tool supports two paths. System voices come from the browser or operating system and may be local or remote, with provider-specific availability and limits. Kokoro neural voices require an approximately 90 MB model download, then render locally in the tab and can export MP3 or WAV. Long text and rendering speed depend on device memory and performance.

Text to Speech: quick answer and technical limits

Quick answer: A text reader with fast system voices and an optional Kokoro neural voice that runs in the browser after its model downloads.

Voiceover drafts, accessibility listening and generating a reference read of short scripts.
How it works
System mode calls browser or OS speech synthesis; Kokoro mode downloads its runtime and model for local inference.
What you get
Immediate spoken playback, with downloadable audio available in the neural workflow where supported.

Know before you use it: Voice selection, pronunciation and system-mode export vary by browser. The optional neural package is large and can be slow on low-memory devices.

Privacy: Kokoro downloads model assets from jsDelivr and Hugging Face and performs inference locally. System speech can depend on the browser or operating-system provider. Privacy details →

FAQ

How do I convert text to speech for free?
Type or paste your text, pick a voice from the list, adjust the rate, pitch and volume sliders, and press speak. There is no character limit, no signup and no paywall — read a sentence or an entire chapter as often as you like.
Which voices and languages are available?
You get every speech voice installed on your device — Windows, macOS, Android and iOS each ship with dozens covering most major languages — plus in-browser neural AI voices that render on your own hardware. Installing extra voices in your OS settings makes them appear here automatically.
Can I download the speech as an audio file?
Yes — speech generated with the neural AI voices renders to audio you can download as MP3 or WAV, ready for voiceovers, videos and podcasts. System voices are designed by the OS for live playback, so use a neural voice when you need a file.
Is my text sent to a server?
The Kokoro AI mode downloads a model and synthesizes text locally in the tab. System voices use the Web Speech service exposed by your browser or operating system; a selected voice can be local or remote, so the vendor may receive the text. AudioWrench does not receive it. See the privacy notice.
