Browser audio synthesis; text handling and network needs depend on the selected engine and language.

Open TTS Tool β†’

Our English text-to-speech tool runs entirely in your browser using the Kokoro TTS model. With 20 American English voices and 8 British English voices, you can find the perfect tone for any project.

Key features:

  • 28 English voices (20 US, 8 UK) with quality ratings from A to D
  • Top picks: Heart (A, warm storytelling), Bella (A-, energetic vlogs), Emma (B-, professional British), Michael (B, clear reviews)
  • English text processing and audio synthesis stay in the browser after required assets load
  • The first visit and uncached model or voice files still require network access
  • Export as WAV for studio-quality audio or MP3 for compressed delivery
  • Up to 50,000 characters per session with automatic chunking for long texts
  • WebGPU acceleration is available on supported Chrome and Edge configurations

Best for: YouTube voiceovers, podcast intros, audio books, e-learning materials, and accessibility.

American English voices include Heart (A), Bella (A-), Nicole (A), Sarah (A-), Nova (B+), Kore (B+), Jessica (B+), Sky (B), River (B), and more. These voices are optimized for North American pronunciation and natural prosody.

British English voices include Emma (B-), Alice (B+), Isabella (B+), Lily (B+), Daniel (B+), George (B-), Lewis (B-), Fable (B-). These voices deliver authentic British pronunciation with proper rhythm and intonation for UK-focused content.

Tips for best English TTS results:

  • Use proper punctuation β€” commas add pauses, periods create stops, question marks raise pitch
  • Compare WebGPU and WASM on your own device because generation speed varies by hardware and browser
  • For long texts, break into paragraphs with clear punctuation for natural rhythm
  • The q4 model (~305MB) offers the best quality-to-size balance for most users
  • Multiple voices can be combined for dialogue or interview-style narration

Whether you need a warm voice for business content or a conversational tone for a creative project, test the exact script and keep the selected engine, voice, and speed with the export.

American and British English Are Separate Voice Sets

The English page combines twenty American and eight British Kokoro presets, but a flag or friendly name does not guarantee one regional pronunciation for every word. Test proper nouns, dates, acronyms, currencies, and domain-specific terms in the exact voice you plan to use. If a script mixes US and UK spelling, decide which reading convention the audience expects before generating a long file.

English Kokoro uses local phonemization after the model and selected voice assets are available, so the entered script is not sent to the non-English OfflineTTS phonemization endpoint. The first load, model host, website hosting, and ordinary analytics still involve network requests. Clear browser site data to remove cached assets, and delete WAV or MP3 exports separately from the device.

Review English Names, Numbers, and Chunk Boundaries

A useful evaluation passage includes a person and place name, an abbreviation, a decimal, a year, a currency amount, a quotation, and one long sentence. Compare several voices with the same q4 or fp32 model, speed, browser, and backend. Catalog grades and traits are internal discovery labels rather than a controlled benchmark, so a lower-sorted preset may fit a particular script better.

For long narration, keep paragraphs coherent and listen across each automatic chunk join. Check for repeated words, clipped consonants, inconsistent volume, or pauses that do not match the text. WAV is the safer intermediate for editing; MP3 is smaller but lossy. Keep the reviewed source script and voice ID with the export so a correction can be reproduced.

English Text to Speech β€” FAQ

Is English text to speech free?

Yes. OfflineTTS does not charge per character and requires no signup or API key. Audio synthesis runs in your browser with the engine you select.

Does English text to speech work offline?

Offline behavior depends on the selected engine and language. Supertonic, Piper, Kitten, and English Kokoro can synthesize locally after their model files download. Non-English Kokoro uses the OfflineTTS phonemization service before audio is generated on your device.

Is my English text data private?

Audio synthesis runs locally in your browser. Fully local-capable engine and language combinations keep the input on your device after model download. Non-English Kokoro sends plain text to the OfflineTTS phonemization service and receives pronunciation data before local synthesis.
