Free Online Text to Speech, Nothing to Install

At a glance

What it is

A free AI voice generator and text-to-speech workbench built for scripts: it works out who is speaking, gives every character their own voice, lets you direct the emotion line by line and exports a finished mix — a full-cast audio drama rather than one narrator reading every part.

What you paste in

A script, pasted as text. Screenplay format, “Name: line” dialogue and ordinary prose with dialogue tags are all read as written, and so are the em-dash conventions used in Spanish, French, Portuguese and Russian. A note in brackets at the start of a line, or a line that is entirely inside brackets, becomes that line's acting direction: it is performed rather than spoken, and you can edit it in the line list. There is no file import, so paste the text instead of attaching a document.

What you get back

One mixed MP3 on every plan. SRT subtitles from Plus upward — written from your script rather than transcribed from the audio, so names are spelled right and the timings already line up. Per-character stems, one full-length track per character plus the mix, come as a ZIP on Pro. No WAV export.

Cast and voices

40 library characters, each with a portrait, a persona and a sample. Behind them sit 10 base voices — 4 female, 5 male, 1 androgynous — and the same 10 serve every language. Inside one project no two characters are given the same base voice until all 10 are taken, so a scene of up to 10 speakers separates cleanly; past that, two characters share a voice and are told apart by persona and by the direction each line carries. You choose the character, not the base voice.

Languages

9: English, 简体中文, 日本語, 한국어, Deutsch, Français, Español, Português, Русский. Every character performs in all of them — a character is a persona, not one recorded take — and a project's language is fixed when the project is created. Outside English you get the language's common accent; regional accents cannot be picked and are not promised. We have not had native speakers audition every language, so run your own lines through it before you commit.

Emotion and direction

Every line is performed by an AI voice actor working from a written direction, so the 7 emotions (neutral, happy, sad, angry, fear, whisper, excited) are acted rather than faked with settings. A resting emotion per character is available on every plan; overriding emotion line by line is Pro only, and 5-step speed control (0.75×–1.25×) comes with Plus and Pro. Regenerating a line gives a genuinely different take in the same voice, and editing one line re-synthesises only that line.

Price and open beta

A credit is one character of script, and credits are spent only when you download — generating and previewing cost nothing, within a ceiling of 30 lines per 24 hours on Free and up to 2,000 on Pro. Free is a one-time pot of 4,500 credits, about 5 minutes of finished audio, with 2 cast members per project. Paid plans are Basic $5, Plus $19, Pro $29 a month, 10% off yearly. Payments are not live yet: during the open beta every account gets the full Pro feature set at no cost, but a commercial licence still comes with a paid plan once plans open.

What it cannot do yet

Voice cloning is not available on any plan. There is no file import, no WAV export, no pronunciation dictionary, no pitch control, and no way to pick a specific base voice or a regional accent. No language has real child voices: child parts are played by adult performers, the way animation has always done it. Characters live inside one project and do not carry over to the next.
