Free Text to Speech โ€” Frequently Asked Questions

How does OfflineTTS work?
OfflineTTS runs AI models directly in your browser using WebGPU or WebAssembly. For text to speech, choose from four engines: Kokoro TTS (54 voices, highest quality), Kitten TTS (8 expressions, lightest), Piper TTS (25+ voices, fastest on CPU), or Supertonic TTS (10 preset styles across 5 languages). For speech to text, use Whisper STT (99 languages, streaming transcription).
Is it really free?
Yes, 100% free. The AI models run on your device, so there are no per-generation server costs. OfflineTTS includes Kokoro, Kitten, Piper, and Supertonic for TTS plus Whisper for STT. No subscriptions, no per-character charges, no hidden fees.
Does it work offline?
After the initial model download (~90MB for Small model, cached in your browser), English TTS works completely offline. Non-English TTS requires an internet connection for text-to-phoneme conversion (a tiny API call), but audio synthesis still runs on your device. STT works fully offline.
What voices are available?
98 voice options and styles across 10 TTS language options, plus 99 languages for speech to text. Choose from 4 TTS engines: Kokoro TTS (54 voices, highest quality), Piper TTS (25+ voices, fastest on CPU), Kitten TTS (8 expression voices, lightest model), and Supertonic TTS (10 preset styles across English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, and Korean). For STT, Whisper provides accurate transcription with word-level timestamps.
What browsers are supported?
Chrome 113+, Edge 113+, and Safari 17.4+ support WebGPU for fastest performance. All modern browsers support the WASM fallback.
Is OfflineTTS better than ElevenLabs?
OfflineTTS is completely free with no usage limits, works offline, and keeps your data private. ElevenLabs offers more voices and higher quality but charges per character and requires an internet connection. For most use cases โ€” YouTube voiceovers, e-learning, audiobooks โ€” OfflineTTS delivers comparable quality at zero cost.
Can I use generated speech commercially?
In most creator workflows, yes: you can download and use generated audio in videos, podcasts, audiobooks, and commercial projects. Kokoro and Piper use permissive upstream licenses; Kitten and Supertonic are also available as local TTS engines, but you should check the upstream model terms for the exact engine you use before large-scale commercial deployment.
What audio formats can I export?
You can export audio as WAV (lossless, studio-quality) or MP3 (compressed, smaller file size). WAV is recommended for further audio editing; MP3 is great for direct use in videos and podcasts.
How much text can I convert at once?
Up to 50,000 characters per session. Longer texts are automatically split into chunks and processed sequentially with natural pauses between segments.
Is my text data safe?
English TTS is fully offline โ€” no data leaves your browser. For non-English TTS (Japanese, Chinese, Spanish, French, Hindi, Italian, Portuguese), your text is sent to our phonemization server which converts it to pronunciation data (IPA phonemes) and returns it. The server does not log or store any text. Audio synthesis always happens on your device. STT (speech to text) is fully offline.

Tips for Better Text to Speech Quality

โœ๏ธ Punctuate Properly

Commas add short pauses, periods add full stops. Question marks raise pitch at the end. Proper punctuation is the #1 way to improve naturalness.

๐ŸŽฏ Use the Large Model for Best Quality

The Large model (~600MB) produces the most natural-sounding speech. Use Small (~90MB) for quick tests, then switch to Large for production audio.

๐Ÿ”Š Choose the Right Engine & Voice

Kokoro TTS: Heart and Bella are rated A/A- for English. Piper TTS: Alice and James for warm narration. Kitten TTS: expression-based voices for emotional tone. Pick the engine that fits your needs.

โšก Use WebGPU for Speed

WebGPU generates speech 3โ€“5x faster than the WASM fallback. Chrome 113+ and Edge 113+ support WebGPU. Safari users can use the WASM fallback.
