When it comes to creating social media posts and podcast episodes, I find myself always having to rerecord different sections. ‘Ums’, ‘Ahs’ and ‘definitely’ are my downfall. Rerecording voiceovers and narrations take time and it can be quite frustrating too. Here’s where TTSMaker comes in. TTSMaker is a completely free AI text-to-speech tool that will save you a lot hassle. It turns your text to speech in a matter of seconds - ideal when your time is limited.

It’s free to use and you don’t need to create an account to use it either. The usage is unlimited, so you can create as many text to speech generations as many times as you want. It also includes commercial usage, which is something I’ve not really seen before for a free tool, normally you would have to pay to get your hands on a commercial usage pack.

TTSMaker is an extremely easy piece of kit to use. Simply add your text into the text box, select your language and desired AI Model voice and click convert to speech. In a few seconds your speech will be ready to download. Before committing to a voice, you can give them a preview, saving you even more time! There are over 60 voice AI models to choose from, so you should find the perfect voice in no time.

When it comes to downloading the speech file, you’re able to download it in a few different formats. These include, mp3, ogg, aac, opus and wav, perfect for whatever you need. The TTSMaker team are constantly working on developing the tool. They do normally offer a free API, but they are currently making changes to it so it isn’t available at the moment - make sure to keep your eyes out for this!

The quality of the voices could be improved, they do seem quite robotic. You are able to switch up the settings slightly in the ‘More setting’ section, even with this it still doesn’t hit the mark for me. But, keep in mind that this tool is completely free ****and for a free tool, it’s pretty impressive! Depending on your requirements, TTSMaker can take you a long way!

Our Verdict on TTSMaker

If you’re on the hunt for an AI text-to-speech tool and have little to no budget, then it’s TTSMaker for you. It’s a no brainer. It’s so simple and easy to use, the generation of the speech is extremely fast and you have a wide range of different voice AI models to play with.

The quality of the voices could be improved. They can sound quite robotic and not as genuine as other text-to-speech tools, but remember, TTSMaker is completely free. And for a free tool, you can’t really moan! I’d highly recommend TTSMaker to anyone.

Compared Alternatives

Voicemaker - There are so many different voices to play around with but unfortunately a lot of them fall under the premium Voicemaker paid plan. If you want choices for free, stick with TTSMaker.
Free text to speech - Just like TTSMaker, Free text to speech is totally free (what a surprise!) The interface is so simple to navigate, that anyone could use it! If you’re looking for an editable voice we’d suggest TTSMaker as it allows you to have a bit more say on the voice itself.

Insider Tips

If you’re not totally happy with the generated speech, try adjusting some of the settings. In ‘More setting’ you can play with the pitch, speed, quality and volume of the speech to create the voice that you’re looking for.
To create a more authentic sounding voice, try adding ‘pauses’ into your text. You can even pick the length of the pause, this will help convey the mood and make the speech sound even more genuine.
