Table of Contents
Want to hear a draft read aloud or turn notes into audio? Paste your text, choose a voice and speed, and generate speech you can download. Useful for proofreading by ear, making study audio, or adding a simple voiceover to a video.
01 · Your Script
02 · Voice & Delivery
03 · Live Playback
01 · Dialogue Script
Write one line per turn as Speaker: line of text. Each detected speaker gets their own voice below.
02 · Cast & Voices
Press Detect Speakers to build the cast list.
03 · Live Playback
01 · Marked-up Script
Use simple inline tags: [pause 500] for a 500ms break, [rate 1.3]…[/rate], [pitch 0.8]…[/pitch], and [emphasis]…[/emphasis].
02 · Pronunciation Lexicon
Fix tricky names by respelling them phonetically. Replacements apply before speaking (all tabs).
03 · Voice & Preview
01 · Generate Timed Subtitles
This reads your Narrate script aloud once and captures the real word timings from the speech engine, then builds subtitle files you can drop straight into a video editor.
02 · Subtitle Output
03 · Saving Audio
Browser system voices play live but cannot be written to an audio file directly — that is a limitation of every browser, not this tool. To capture the narration as MP3/WAV, play it here and record with the site audio tools, or pair these subtitles with a video in the editor.
Multi-Speaker Dialogue
Write your script as Speaker: line and give each name its own voice, speed, and pitch. A two-person conversation or a narrated scene then plays back as separate characters instead of one flat read.
Timed Subtitle Capture
As the studio reads your text, it records the real word timings and builds SRT, WebVTT, or plain-text captions. Drop the file straight onto a video track and the words line up with the narration.
Pronunciation & Delivery Control
A small lexicon respells names the voice keeps getting wrong (type Ruwan, hear Roo-wun). Bracket tags such as [pause 500] and [emphasis] shape where it breaks and what it stresses.
How to Use the Voice & Narration Studio
Add your text
Type or paste into the Narrate box, or press Load Sample to see the format.
Pick a voice
Choose any voice installed on your device, then set speed, pitch, and volume.
Press Speak
The current word highlights as it plays. Pause, resume, or stop whenever you like.
Export captions
Open Subtitles & Export, press Capture Timings, then download SRT, VTT, or TXT.

🔴 What this narration studio is really for
Most people reach an offline text to speech generator for one of four jobs: turning lesson notes into a voiceover, adding a spoken track to a slideshow or faceless video, proofreading their own writing by ear, or making a short piece of dialogue for a story or animation. This tool is built around those jobs rather than around a giant wall of settings.
Because everything runs on the speech voices already installed in your operating system, there is no sign-up, no credit limit, and nothing to install. You paste text, choose a voice, and press Speak. The catch that surprises people is covered honestly further down, so you know exactly what to expect before you build a workflow around it.
🟡 A real workflow: script to captioned voiceover
Say you are recording a two-minute explainer. Start in the Narrate tab with your plain script and pick a voice you like at about 0.95x speed, which reads a touch slower than default and lands more clearly for tutorials. Preview it, adjust pitch if the voice sounds too high, then move to the Subtitles & Export tab and press Capture Timings. The studio reads the script once, records where each word actually falls, and hands you an SRT or WebVTT file.
From there the subtitle file goes onto your video track. If you are assembling the visuals in the Video Studio, the captions drop in already timed to the same pace you previewed. Going the other direction — you already have a recording and need the text — is a different job handled by the offline transcription studio, which listens to audio and writes the words out.
For a scene with more than one character, switch to the Dialogue tab. Write Narrator:, Alice:, and Bob: on their own lines, press Detect Speakers, and assign each a distinct voice. Playback then moves speaker by speaker, highlighting the active line, so a conversation sounds like a cast instead of a single narrator reading name tags aloud.
🟢 Where the browser voice engine stops
Here is the honest part. A browser can play a system voice out loud, but it cannot hand you that audio as a saved file — there is no way to record the speech engine into an MP3 or WAV from inside the page. That is a limit of every browser, not this tool, so any site promising a one-click “download system voice as MP3” is quietly recording your screen or routing your text to a cloud server. This studio does neither. What it gives you instead is the timed subtitle file, which is the part a video editor genuinely needs, plus live playback you can capture with the audio editor if you must have a clip.
Two smaller things trip people up. First, voice quality is set by your device, not the tool: Chrome and Edge on Windows expose more natural voices than a bare Linux install, so if a voice sounds robotic, add better ones from your operating system speech settings. Second, word-level timing relies on a browser feature that Chrome and Edge support but Safari does not, so on Safari the studio falls back to an estimated timing that is close but not frame-perfect. Capturing on the same voice and speed you plan to publish with keeps the captions honest. If you want the reasoning behind keeping tools like this fully client-side, the offline utilities guide lays it out, and the underlying mechanics live in MDN’s Web Speech API reference.
Want the theory rather than the how-to? The companion piece on how text-to-speech works covers voices, SSML, and word timing in depth.
Is it really free and offline?
Yes. It uses the speech voices already on your device, so there is no account, no quota, and no text sent to a server. After the page loads you can even switch off your connection and it keeps working.
Can I download the audio as an MP3?
No, and it is worth knowing why: browsers do not let a page capture the speech engine to a file. You can export the timed subtitles here, then record the live playback with a separate audio tool if you need an actual clip.
A name is pronounced wrong. How do I fix it?
Open the SSML & Lexicon tab and add a rule: the original spelling on the left, a phonetic respelling on the right. It is applied before speaking, across every tab.
Which browser gives the best voices?
Chrome and Edge usually expose the most natural voices, and they also support the word-timing feature used for subtitles. You can add more voices from your operating system’s speech settings.
How do I make two characters sound different?
Use the Dialogue tab. Write each line as Speaker: text, press Detect Speakers, and pick a separate voice, speed, and pitch for each name. Playback then runs line by line.
Will the subtitle timings match my video exactly?
They match the voice and speed you captured with. Set your final speed first, then press Capture Timings. On Safari the timing is estimated rather than exact, so Chrome or Edge is the safer choice for tight captions.
Is there a text length limit?
There is no hard cap, but very long blocks are easier to manage split into paragraphs or chapters. Long scripts also take longer to read through when capturing timings, since it plays the whole thing once.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. Playback and dialogue work on mobile using the phone’s built-in voices. Capturing long subtitle files is more comfortable on a laptop, but short scripts are fine on a phone.
What are the bracket tags like [pause 500] for?
They shape delivery in the SSML tab. [pause 500] inserts a half-second break, and [emphasis]word[/emphasis] lifts a word so it stands out. It is a simple stand-in for full SSML markup.
