Speed 1.0x

The first time, your browser fetches the voice (about 90 MB) and keeps it. After that it starts in seconds. English voices only.

Need it in your own app or workflow? The same job is an API: up to 2,000 characters as one MP3 per call, from two cents per 1,000 characters, no account and no monthly fee. OpenAI and ElevenLabs request formats work as they are. Text to speech API · Buy credits
Also in your tools: Make.com app · Obsidian plugin · Apify: audio and video transcriber · Apify: podcast transcriber

Questions

Is it really free? Yes. Your own computer makes the speech, so there is no account, no character limit and no watermark.

Can I use the audio commercially? Yes. The voices come from the open Kokoro model (Apache-2.0); use the audio in videos, apps, courses and ads.

Is my text uploaded? No. The text stays on your computer. Only the voice model is downloaded, once.

Which languages? English, with American and British voices. For other languages, use the API's Spanish voices or another service.
