Free text to speech, with subtitles that actually line up

ReadAnyText turns any written text into a natural-sounding voiceover you can download as an MP3 with word-accurate captions, more than one speaker, and pauses exactly where you put them. No account, no API key, nothing to install.

How it works

  1. 1

    Write or paste a script

    Anything from a one-line ad read to a full audiobook chapter. Drop in [pause 1s] wherever you want the delivery to breathe, or label lines with a name to turn it into a conversation.

  2. 2

    Cast the voice

    Pick from over three hundred neural voices across dozens of languages, preview any of them in place, then set the speed and pitch until the read sounds right.

  3. 3

    Take the MP3 and captions

    One click gives you the audio plus SRT and WebVTT subtitles timed to the individual word ready to drop straight onto a video timeline.

Questions

Is it really free?
Yes. There is no account, no API key and no watermark, and the MP3 is yours to use. The site is supported by ads rather than by charging for the audio.
How do the subtitles work?
The speech service reports the exact moment each word is spoken. Those timings are stitched across every part of a long render, grouped into readable cues, and written out as SRT or WebVTT.
Can I use two voices in one file?
Yes. Start lines with a name and a colon Alex: … / Sam: … then switch to Dialogue mode and cast a voice per speaker. Everything is stitched into a single MP3 with per-speaker captions.
How long can a script be?
There is no fixed limit. Long scripts are split at sentence boundaries, synthesized in parallel and joined back together, so the result is one continuous file.
Can I use the audio commercially?
The voices come from Microsoft's consumer read-aloud service, which is intended for personal use. For advertising or another commercial project, license the same voices through Azure Speech.
Does my script leave my device?
The text is sent to the speech service to be spoken that is what produces the audio. The finished MP3 and subtitle files are assembled in your browser and never stored on our servers.
