Free Text to Speech
Speech studio
32 voices · 18 languages
5,000 characters a day, no sign-up, MP3 download, and a commercial license on every generation. Below is exactly where the free tier ends — the part most tools leave out.
How it works
Three steps, about a minute
- 1
Paste or write your text
Drop in a script, a paragraph, or a whole article. Longer text is split into parts automatically and joined back into one file.
- 2
Pick a voice and preview it
Every voice previews before you spend anything, including the paid ones. Filter by language, then hear two or three before committing.
- 3
Generate and download
Audio comes back in seconds as MP3 or WAV, with a commercial licence on every tier — including the free one.
Examples
Hear it on real scripts
Every clip below was generated here on the free tier — no account, no credits. Play one to hear the voice on that kind of writing, or load the script into the generator and make your own version of it.
Course lesson
Module opener that tells learners what they will be able to do.
“By the end of this lesson you'll be able to read a balance sheet and say, in one sentence, whether the company can pay its bills next month. We'll use one real example throughout, and you'll do the last one yourself before we check it together.”
Lesson recap
Closes a module by naming the three things worth remembering.
“Three things to take with you. Assets minus liabilities is equity, and that relationship never breaks. Profit is an opinion; cash is a fact. And a company can be profitable and still run out of money — which is what the next lesson is entirely about.”
Article to audio
Turn something written to be read into something worth listening to.
“Reading aloud is the oldest editing tool there is. The eye forgives a sentence that has no breath in it; the ear refuses. Which is why writers who read their own drafts out loud tend to produce shorter sentences, and why anyone about to publish something long should hear it first.”
Included
What you get
- Free without an account
- Thousands of characters a day as a guest, no sign-up and nothing to install. An account raises the limit; it is not a gate on the tool.
- Commercial use included
- Monetised videos, client work and ads are all fine on every tier. You own what you generate.
- MP3 and WAV export
- MP3 for editors and uploads, WAV where you need uncompressed audio. Speed is adjustable from 0.75× to 1.5× on engines that support it.
- Long text, one file
- Text past the per-request limit is split at sentence boundaries, generated in order, and stitched back into a single download.
- Voices across 18 languages
- Several languages are read by voices trained on that language rather than an English voice reading foreign words — the difference is audible immediately.
- Credits that never expire
- Premium and ultra voices are billed from one-time credit packs. No subscription and no monthly reset.
What the free tier actually includes
Free here means free to use, not a trial that expires. There is no countdown, no card on file, and no feature that stops working after a week.
- 5,000 characters per day without an account, 1,000 per generation
- 10,000 characters per day with a free account, 3,000 per generation
- MP3 download, no watermark and no spoken branding
- A commercial license on every free generation
- 8 languages covered by the free voices
Where it ends, stated plainly
The free voices are open-weight models — Kokoro-82M and Chatterbox — which we can run cheaply enough to give away. The premium and ultra-HD voices are commercial engines billed per character, so those cost credits.
That line is the only one that matters: if the free voices sound good enough for your work, nothing on this site will ever ask you for money. Generate a sample above with your own copy rather than a marketing script, and you will know within a minute which side of the line you are on.
Why "unlimited free" is usually not true
Text to speech costs compute per character, every time, with no caching to hide behind. So when a tool advertises unlimited free speech synthesis, the cost is being recovered somewhere you cannot see — ads, rights over the audio you generate, aggressive quality throttling on the free voices, or a limit that exists but is not published.
We would rather give you the number and let you plan around it. If 5,000 characters a day is not enough, credits are a one-time purchase that never expires — not a subscription that resets and bills you monthly whether you used it or not.
