Free AI Voice Generator — Text to Speech, Unlimited & Private
A free, unlimited text-to-speech voice generator that runs entirely in your browser using the open Kokoro-82M model. Paste a script — no length limit — pick a voice, and generate natural narration with subtitles built in. Built for faceless YouTube and Shorts creators who need a free TTS that's actually free: no monthly credits, no character caps, no signup, and nothing uploaded. Kokoro's voices are Apache-2.0 licensed, so the audio you generate is fine to use in monetized videos (this isn't legal advice — platform policies on AI content still apply separately).
Need the reverse? Turn a recording into an editable transcript with our free audio & video transcriber. Need text from an image instead? Our free OCR text extractor runs the same way — entirely in your browser, with no page limits.
How it works
Three steps, no account required
- Step 1
Paste your script
Write or paste your script into the editor — no character limit. A blank line between paragraphs adds a slightly longer pause when it's narrated.
- Step 2
Pick a voice
Choose from American or British, female or male voices, and preview any of them on a sample line before committing. Adjust speed and pause length to taste.
- Step 3
Download MP3 + subtitles
Generate the narration — playback starts before a long script even finishes — then download it as MP3 or WAV, plus SRT and VTT subtitle files built from the real audio timing.
Why it's different
What sets this apart from typical free text-to-speech tools
Truly unlimited
No monthly character allowance and no credit system — generate as much narration as you want.
Private by design
Your script is processed on your device using an in-browser AI model — never uploaded anywhere.
No signup
Nothing to create, nothing to remember. Open the page and start writing.
Commercial-use friendly
Kokoro's voices are Apache-2.0 licensed, so the audio is fine to use in monetized videos — platform content policies still apply separately.
Subtitles included
SRT and VTT files are generated from the narration's real timing in one click — no separate captioning tool needed.
What you can create
Built for faceless creators and more
Faceless YouTube narration
Turn a script into a full video voiceover without appearing on camera — a common format for history, facts, and story-recap channels.
Shorts, Reels, and TikTok voiceovers
Generate a short, punchy narration track for vertical video, then export straight to MP3 for your editor.
Explainer and e-learning videos
Narrate a tutorial or course module script, with subtitles generated at the same time for accessibility.
Podcast intros
Generate a consistent, professional-sounding intro or outro without booking studio time.
Proofreading by listening
Hearing your own writing read aloud catches awkward phrasing and typos that silent proofreading misses.
Accessibility
Turn an article or document into audio for listening instead of reading.
Tips for natural-sounding voiceovers
Small changes that noticeably help
- Write how people talk — short, direct sentences narrate more naturally than dense, formal writing.
- Use commas for a small pause and a blank line for a longer, paragraph-level pause.
- Spell out tricky numbers and acronyms as you'd say them ("twenty twenty-six", "A I") — Kokoro reads what's on the page.
- Try 0.95× speed for a more deliberate, documentary-style pace.
- Preview two or three voices on your first paragraph before generating the whole script — it's much faster than regenerating later.
