How to make an AI voice-over from text

Turn any script into natural-sounding speech for YouTube videos, podcasts, audiobooks, ads and presentations. Swara Voice is a free AI voice generator and text to speech tool with 26 voices, background music and subtitles - and it runs in your browser.

  1. Write your script

    Type or paste up to 5,000 characters, or start from a preset: YouTube voice-over, Podcast intro, Audiobook, Advert, Meditation or Lyrics demo.

  2. Set the pace

    Adjust Speed, and Pause between sentences for a calmer or punchier read.

  3. Choose a voice

    Browse 26 American and British, male and female voices. Tap ▶ on any card to hear a sample instantly.

  4. Create the voice-over

    Press Create voice-over. The first time, the voice model downloads once; then it plays as soon as the whole read is ready.

  5. Download the plain voice

    Save Your voice-over as MP3 or WAV, with SRT or VTT subtitles timed to each sentence.

  6. Make it your own (optional)

    Add a voice effect (Warm, Echo, Big hall, Radio, Phone call), shift the Pitch, or add royalty-free background music that dips under the voice. Download Your mix with its own subtitles.

Frequently asked questions

Is this text to speech really free and unlimited?

Yes. It's kept free by people who choose to support it, so there's nothing to count. Make as many voice-overs as you like - no sign-up, no watermark.

Why does the first voice-over take a while?

Your browser downloads the voice model once - about 90 MB, or around 310 MB for the faster graphics-card engine - and keeps it. The voice samples on this page play instantly without it. Next time, it starts right away.

How does the background music work?

Pick Calm pad, Lo-fi or Upbeat (composed in code, royalty-free) or add your own track. The music plays in before the voice, dips automatically whenever someone is speaking, and fades out at the end - like a radio or YouTube intro.

Can I get subtitles for my video?

Yes. Every voice-over comes with SRT and VTT subtitle files, timed to each sentence - drop them into YouTube, CapCut, Premiere or DaVinci Resolve alongside the audio.

Can I turn it into a video?

Yes. Press Make video with subtitles and it opens in Create Video with the subtitles already on, in sync with the voice - pick a size for TikTok, Reels or YouTube and download the MP4. Every voice-over is also kept under Your voice-overs on this page, so you can come back to it later.

Can I use the audio commercially?

The Kokoro voice model is released under the Apache 2.0 licence, which allows commercial use, and the built-in music beds are yours to use too. You're responsible for the words - don't impersonate real people. If you add your own music, you need the rights to it.

Is my text private?

Yes. Your script is turned into speech inside your browser tab and never sent to Swara Sound or anyone else.

Which devices work best?

Chrome or Edge on a laptop or desktop are fastest - they use your graphics card. Other browsers and phones use the processor: slower, but it works. You can pick the Light engine for a smaller download.

Does it speak other languages?

This version is tuned for English with American and British accents. More languages are planned.
