Text to audio converter: from text to a downloadable MP3
Converting text to audio takes two steps. First listen with the preview voices built into your browser to check the wording and pacing - that step sends nothing anywhere. When it sounds right, generate the MP3 with the server voices and download it as an audio file you can play on any phone or add to a video, a presentation, a podcast intro or your study notes.
Text to speech sounds best on clean text. Write numbers and abbreviations the way they should be read, break long passages into paragraphs, and use punctuation for the pauses you want: a full stop gives a longer pause than a comma.

Frequently asked questions
Paste or type your text, pick a voice and language, then press play to hear it. Preview uses the voices already installed in your browser, so nothing is sent anywhere for that step. Downloading an MP3 uses the higher-quality server voices, which means the text is sent to the server to be rendered. There is no account, no watermark and no per-character charge either way.
Generate the speech with a server voice, then use the download button to save it as an MP3 you can drop into a video edit, a slideshow or a podcast intro. If the server voices are offline the page says so and preview still works, but the MP3 button will be unavailable until they are back.
Yes - multiple voice options are typically available, often covering different languages, accents, and genders, so you can pick one that fits your content.
Modern text-to-speech has improved significantly and can sound quite natural, though it still doesn't perfectly replicate human vocal nuance, especially for emotional emphasis or unusual words/names.
Longer text can be converted, though very long passages may take more time to process - breaking lengthy content into sections can make the process more manageable.
For personal projects, school work and internal training, yes. For commercial publishing, check the rules of the platform you publish on and the voice provider's terms - synthetic voices are licensed differently from stock music, so we cannot promise every commercial use is covered.
Write the way people speak: short sentences, commas where you would pause, and numbers and abbreviations written out ('twenty twenty-six', 'for example'). Pick the most natural-sounding voice in the list and keep the speed close to normal.
There are two sets. The Preview list comes from your own browser and operating system, so it differs between Windows, Mac, Android and iPhone. The MP3 download uses our server voices, which sound the same on every device.
