Audio & Speech Tools

Text to speech and audio transcription that run in your browser - no upload, no account.

Audio tools are the newest group here, and the most bandwidth-hungry, so they follow the same rule as the rest of the site: the audio never leaves your machine. Text to speech synthesises locally with a browser-side model; the transcriber decodes your file in the page rather than uploading it to a service with a per-minute price.

Use text to speech for narration drafts, accessibility checks and hearing what a script sounds like before you record it. Use the transcriber when you want text from a recording you cannot upload - a customer call, an internal meeting, a voice memo - and accept that a browser model is slower than a hosted one on long files.

Practical limits worth knowing: the first run of each tool downloads a model, so the first synthesis or transcription is the slow one; very long files will hit browser memory limits before they hit a quality limit; and the microphone path needs a secure origin, which this site is. Each tool shows progress and the model size so the wait is not mysterious.
