Transform raw text into TTS-optimized scripts. This tool breaks long paragraphs into sentences, adds pause markers for natural rhythm, and estimates audio duration — so your TTS output sounds professional, not robotic.

Script templates:

  • YouTube video — hook, intro, main content, CTA structure with natural pauses
  • Podcast intro — greeting, topic intro, and segue markers
  • Audiobook chapter — paragraph breaks, dialogue formatting, and pacing markers
  • Narration — measured pacing with pauses between sections

What the formatter does:

  • Break long paragraphs into TTS-friendly sentences
  • Add comma pauses at natural breathing points
  • Insert section break markers (---) for multi-segment content
  • Add speaker labels for multi-voice scripts
  • Estimate audio duration (~150 words/min for standard TTS)
  • Remove common TTS-unfriendly characters

Script Formatter — FAQ

How does the duration estimate work?

We estimate audio duration at ~150 words per minute for standard TTS. You can adjust the speed in the TTS tool, which changes the actual duration.

What are pause markers?

Pause markers are commas and section breaks (---) inserted at natural speaking points. They tell the TTS engine to pause briefly, producing more natural rhythm and pacing.

Can I edit the formatted script?

Yes. The output is fully editable. We format it as a starting point — you can adjust any pauses, breaks, or speaker labels before using it with TTS.

Is this tool free?

Yes, completely free with no limits. All processing happens in your browser.
