Loading the voice model the first time (~80 MB, cached after).

How to turn text into speech

Type or paste your text, pick a voice, and press Generate speech. The first run downloads the voice engine and model before generating a WAV you can play and download. Loading and generation time depend on your connection and device. It is great for narration, accessibility, e-learning, voice notes, video voiceovers, and hearing your writing read back to you.

Private, free, and commercially usable

The voice is produced in your browser with the open-source Kokoro model, released under the permissive Apache 2.0 license. That means it costs nothing, adds no watermark, keeps your text on your device, and the audio you create is yours to use, including for commercial projects. The model is downloaded from external providers and may be cached by your browser for later use. A first visit, cleared storage or an unavailable cache can require another download. Your entered text is processed on this device.

Tips for natural narration

Punctuation shapes the delivery, so add commas and periods where you want pauses. Break long scripts into shorter paragraphs, and try a few voices to find the tone that fits your content.

Worked example: turning a short script into a voiceover

How to use it

Paste or type the text you want spoken into the text box. Start with a short paragraph while you learn how a voice handles your writing.

Choose a voice — Heart, Bella or Nicole (US female), Michael or Adam (US male), or Emma or George (UK female/male).

Click Generate speech. On the first use, allow time for the voice model to download (about 80 MB, cached afterwards).

Listen to the generated audio and check names, numbers and pauses.

Download the WAV file when the reading is ready to use in a video, lesson or presentation.

Use cases / who it's for

Video creators can draft a voiceover for a tutorial or short product clip without recording in a noisy room.

Teachers can turn instructions or a short passage into audio for students who learn better by listening.

Writers can hear an article read back to catch repeated words, tangled sentences and punctuation that looks fine but sounds wrong.

Accessibility and language practice: a reader can listen to their own text at a natural pace while following the words on screen.

Example

You have a 90-second product explanation beginning: “This voice was generated entirely in your browser, with nothing uploaded.” Paste the script, choose George for a UK male voice, and generate a first paragraph only. If the product name sounds wrong, try writing it phonetically in a test copy and listen again. If the reading rushes through a list, add commas or split it into shorter sentences. Generate the full script in sections, download each WAV, and join the sections in your video editor.

Tips / common mistakes

Punctuation is direction. Commas create small pauses, full stops create firmer ones, and a long unpunctuated sentence will sound breathless.

Spell out or rephrase awkward numbers, abbreviations and names, then listen before using the audio publicly.

Do not judge the tool on one long first generation. Test a paragraph, pick the voice, then produce the whole script.

Keep the script file. If you change one sentence later, you can regenerate only that section and replace its audio.

FAQ

Why does the first generation take longer?

The first run downloads the voice engine and model, described on the page as about 80 MB and cached afterwards. Later use on the same browser should start faster.

What format is the download?

The tool provides the generated speech as a WAV file that you can play or use in an editor.

Can I use the voiceover in a commercial video?

The page states that the open-source Kokoro model is released under the Apache 2.0 licence and that the audio you create is yours to use, including commercially. Check any separate music, script or brand rights in your project as usual.
