These voices are provided by the cloud speech service. Availability is checked when you load or refresh this page.
For narration, choose a voice you can follow comfortably through changes in topic, rather than judging it from a greeting alone. Test an excerpt containing a heading, a quotation, and any specialist vocabulary your document uses. Notice whether the voice makes sentence endings clear and whether similar words remain distinct. Keep the same voice across related sections so a listener can focus on the material. Select English for English prose, then adjust the pace around the difficulty of the content. Dense explanations may need more time between ideas, while familiar passages can tolerate a quicker delivery without losing their structure.
For short video voiceovers, match the narrator's delivery to the job of the clip: explaining a process, introducing a product, or telling a brief story. Compare how available voices handle the opening line and the words that carry the main message. A voice that sounds pleasant alone may become harder to understand under music, so audition it with your intended soundtrack. Choose the language that matches the script and audience, and check names or borrowed words individually. Set a pace that leaves room for visual changes and captions. Clear emphasis matters more than fitting every written word into the available space.
For language learning, select the listed language before comparing voices, and use material that matches what you are studying. The current catalog provides English voices; a different voice name does not establish support for another language or a particular regional accent. Listen for word stress, linking, and the rise or fall at the end of a question. Reduce the reading speed only as much as you need to hear those details clearly, then compare the same passage at a comfortable conversational pace. Keep a familiar voice for routine practice, and occasionally compare another to avoid relying on a single delivery.
Available voices come from the online speech service, and this version is intended for English text. The list below is drawn from the same catalog as the voice selector. Start with a short passage and listen before preparing a longer recording. Different voices can give the same sentence a different rhythm, so choose the delivery that fits your audience and the words you have written. Keep unfamiliar names and abbreviations in context, and adjust punctuation when the phrasing needs attention. The catalog shows the language reported by the service; it does not promise support for languages or regional accents that are not listed.
Copy the text you want to hear from your PDF or document, then paste it into the text box. For a long report, start with a manageable section instead of the entire file. Keep related paragraphs together so the narration follows the original argument, and remove repeated headers, page numbers, or broken line endings before listening.
Choose an available voice and adjust the reading speed to match your purpose: slower for careful review, or faster when revisiting familiar material. Pause between sections to take notes, check unfamiliar terms, or return to a passage that needs more attention. This approach works with text you can select and copy; the page does not upload or open PDF files. You can also download the audio as an MP3 to keep each section for later listening.
Start with a short script written for the ear. Read it through and replace long sentences with clear phrases that fit the pace of your video. Paste the script into the text box, choose an available voice, and listen before exporting. Punctuation can help you shape the phrasing, while the speed control lets you explore a more relaxed or brisk delivery.
Download the narration as an MP3, then import that file into your video editor alongside your footage. Align each spoken section with the relevant scene, trim gaps, and balance any background music so the words remain easy to follow. If the timing feels rushed, shorten the script and generate a revised version before making the final edit. Check the FAQ on downloads and usage before publishing your voiceover.
If you are learning English, choose an available voice and start with a short passage that you understand. A dialogue, a few sentences from a lesson, or a phrase you want to remember can work well. Lower the reading speed and listen closely to where words begin and end. This version's voice catalog is intended for English, so check the listed language before using it for practice.
Repeat a sentence aloud, then play it again and compare your rhythm and phrasing. As the passage becomes familiar, move toward a more natural listening pace. Keep unfamiliar words in context instead of practicing only isolated vocabulary. Use the spoken example alongside your course materials or a teacher's guidance, especially when checking subtle pronunciation differences or how a phrase sounds in conversation.
A quick guide to downloading your audio.
Open this page, paste your text, and choose an available voice to start listening. You do not need to create an account, install an app, or provide an email address. Preview a short passage, adjust the reading speed, and download the result as an MP3 when you are ready. This keeps the process straightforward for a quick reading check, a draft voiceover, or a language practice session.
Access uses a free daily allowance shared across all visitors, so availability depends on the remaining allowance and the speech service. Keep each request within the displayed character limit. If a passage is too long, shorten it or split it into sections and try again. If the shared allowance has been exhausted, wait until the displayed reset time before retrying with a shorter passage. You can return later without setting up an account.
Common questions about free text to speech and your audio.
The tool is free within a shared allowance, not unlimited. Free: up to 2,000 characters per request · daily free allowance shared across all visitors · resets at 00:00 UTC. The service meters usage rather than a fixed number of generations. For example, a 4,000-character passage needs at least two requests at the 2,000-character limit. If the allowance is exhausted, wait for the reset, then try a shorter passage.
