Is this text to speech online tool free?
Yes. You can generate speech on the homepage without an account, API key, subscription, or per-character charge. The voice model runs on your device, so OfflineTTS does not need to charge for server inference.
How do I convert text to speech online?
Paste up to 1,500 characters into the homepage tool, choose an English AI voice and speed, then select Generate Speech. When generation finishes, use the waveform player to listen or download the result.
Can I download text to speech audio as MP3 or WAV?
Yes. Every successful homepage generation can be downloaded as WAV or encoded to MP3 in your browser. The advanced TTS workspace provides the same audio formats for longer scripts.
Does text to speech work offline?
The first English generation downloads and caches the Kokoro model and selected voice. After those files are available, English text to speech can work offline in a compatible browser. Non-English voices may need an online phoneme-conversion step.
Which AI voices can I use?
The homepage offers five curated American and British English voices for quick generation. Open the advanced workspace to browse all 54 Kokoro voices across nine languages or compare Kitten, Piper, and Supertonic.
Does OfflineTTS upload my text or generated audio?
No. The homepage generates and plays English speech in your browser. Your text and generated waveform are not uploaded to an OfflineTTS account or generation server.
Can I use generated speech commercially?
Many creator workflows permit commercial use, but licensing depends on the selected upstream model and voice. Review the relevant model terms before publishing or distributing audio commercially.
