Speech is generated by your device's own voices and played live; browsers do not let web pages export it as an MP3. "Save text" downloads your text and settings as a .txt file. Need an audio file? See how to save text-to-speech as MP3 or WAV with free built-in tools. Tip: press Ctrl/⌘ + Enter in the text box to play.

Powerful Features

Everything you need to convert text to speech, completely free

πŸŽ™οΈ

Multiple Voices

Every voice installed on your computer or phone shows up in the list, grouped by language. Install more in your OS settings to get more choice.

⚑

Instant Conversion

No uploads, no queues. Speech starts as soon as you press Play, and works offline with on-device voices.

πŸŽ›οΈ

Full Control

Adjust speed, pitch, and volume to get exactly the output you need. Fine-tune every detail.

πŸ“„

Long Texts

Paste up to 20,000 characters. The text is read sentence by sentence, which avoids the cut-offs some browsers have with long passages.

πŸ”’

100% Private

Your text is never sent to our servers. With on-device voices it never leaves your device at all (some browser-provided "online" voices are processed by the browser vendor).

🌐

Works Everywhere

Works in current Chrome, Edge, Safari and Firefox on desktop and mobile. See browser support for the details.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes! TextIntoAudio is completely free to use with no hidden costs, subscriptions, or sign-up requirements. Speech is generated by your browser and operating system, so there is nothing for us to charge for.

The available voices depend on your browser and operating system. Most modern systems include voices in English, Spanish, French, German, and many other languages. Some systems offer enhanced, more natural-sounding voices.

Your text is handed to your browser's Web Speech API and is never sent to our servers. Voices marked "(on-device)" in the list synthesize speech locally. Some browsers also offer network voices β€” for example the "Google …" voices in Chrome or the "Microsoft … Online (Natural)" voices in Edge β€” and for those the browser sends the text to its vendor's speech service. Pick an on-device voice if that matters to you.

Not directly. Browser speech synthesis plays audio straight through your device and does not give web pages access to the audio data, so no browser-based tool built on it can honestly offer a one-click MP3. You can still get a file: macOS has the say command, Windows PowerShell can write a WAV with the built-in voices, and Audacity can record what your computer plays. Our step-by-step guide to saving text-to-speech as audio covers each method.

Audio is produced by your operating system's built-in speech engine, and usage rights are governed by that vendor's terms (Microsoft, Apple, Google, etc.). Most personal, educational, and accessibility use is unrestricted; for commercial publishing, check the relevant OS documentation or use a licensed cloud TTS service.

The list comes from your operating system and browser. Windows, macOS, iOS and Android each ship a small default set, and you can add more for free in the system settings β€” see how to install extra voices. After installing a voice, fully restart the browser so it appears.

Desktop Chrome has a long-standing quirk where its network "Google" voices stop after roughly 15 seconds of continuous speech. This converter splits your text into sentence-sized chunks and speaks them one after another, which avoids the problem. If playback still stalls, press Stop and Play again, or choose an on-device voice. More in the speechSynthesis developer guide.
