What is text to speech

Text to speech, also known as TTS, read aloud, or even speech synthesis . It simply means using artificial intelligence to read words aloud be; it from a PDF , email, docs, or any website. There isn’t a voice artist recording phrases or words, or even the entire article. Speech generation is done on-the-fly, in real time, with natural sounding AI voices.

And that’s the beauty of it all. You don’t have to wait. You simply press play and artificial intelligence makes the words come alive instantly, in a very natural sounding voice. You can change voices and accents across multiple languages.

Listen to any article. Easily scan any printed material and convert the image to audio.

I used to hate school because I’d spend hours just trying to read the assignments. Listening has been totally life changing. This app saved my education.

Ana Student with Dyslexia

Speechify has made my editing so much faster and easier when I’m writing. I can hear an error and fix it right away. Now I can’t write without it.

Speechify makes reading so much easier. English is my second language and listening while I follow along in a book has seriously improved my skills.

With Speechify’s API, we can offer our users a new and accessible way to consume our content. We’ve seen that readers who choose to listen to articles with Speechify are on average 20% more engaged than users who choose not to listen.

Susy Botello

Thanks for sharing this.I love this feature. I just tweeted at you on how much I like it. The voice is great and not at all like the text-to-speech I am used to listening to. I am a podcaster and I think this will help a lot of people multitask a bit, especially if they are interrupted with incoming emails or whatever. You can read-along but continue reading if your eyes need to go elsewhere. Hope you keep this. It’s already in other web publications. I also see it in some news sites. So I think it could become a standard that readers expect when they read online. Can I vote twice?

Renato Vargas

I just started using Medium more and I absolutely love this feature. I’ve listened to my own stories and the Al does the inflections just as I would. Many complain that they can’t read their own stories, but let’s be honest. How many stories would go without an audio version if you had to do all of them yourself? I certainly appreciate it. Thanks for this!!

Oh! How cool – I love it 🙂 The voice is surprisingly natural sounding! My eyes took a much appreciated rest for a bit. I’ve been a long time subscriber to Audible on Amazon. I think this is Great 🙂 Thank you!

Paola Rios Schaaf

Super excited about this! We are all spending too much time staring at our screens. Using another sense to take in the great content at Medium is awesome.

Hi Warren, I am one of those small, randomly selected people, and I ABSOLUTELY love this feature. I have consumed more ideas than I ever have on Medium. And also as a non-native English speaker, this is really helping me to improve my pronunciation. Keep this forevermore! Love, Ananya:)

This is the single most important feature you can role out for me. I simply don’t have the time to read all the articles I would like to on Medium. If I could listen to the articles I could consume at least 3X the amount of Medium content I do now.

Andrew Picken

Love this feature Warren. I use it when I’m reading, helps me churn through reading and also stay focused on the article (at a good speed) when my willpower is low! Keeping me more engaged..

I was THRILLED the other day when I saw the audio option. I didn’t know how it got there, but I pressed play, and then I was blown away hearing the words that I wrote being narrated

Neeramitra Reddy

LOVE THISSS. As someone who loves audio almost as much as reading, this is absolute gold

What is text to speech (TTS)?

Text-to-speech goes by a few names. Some refer to it as TTS,  read aloud , or even speech synthesis ; for the more engineered name. Today, it simply means using  artificial intelligence  to read words aloud be; it from a PDF, email, docs, or any website. Instantly turn text into audio. Listen in English, Italian, Portuguese,  Spanish , or more and choose your accent and character to personalize your experience.

How does AI text to speech work?

Beautifully. Speech synthesis works by installing an app like Speechify either on your device or as a browser extension. AI scans the words on the page and  reads it out loud , without any lag. You can change the default voice to a custom voice, change accents, languages, and even increase or decrease the speaking rate.

AI has made significant progress in synthesizing voices. It can pick up on formatted text and change tone accordingly. Gone are the days where the voices sounded  robotic . Speechify is revolutionizing that.

Once you install the TTS mobile app, you can easily convert text to speech from any website within your browser, read aloud your email, and more. If you install it as a  browser extension , you can do just the same on your laptop. The web version is OS agnostic. Mac or Windows, no problem.

What is the text-to-speech service?

A text-to-speech service is a tool, like Speechify text to speech, that transforms your written words into spoken words. Imagine typing out a message and having it read out loud by a digital voice – that’s what TTS services, like Speechify TTS do.

What are the benefits of text to speech?

TTS technology offers many benefits, like helping those with reading difficulties, providing rest for your eyes, multitasking by listening to content, improving pronunciation and language learning, and making content accessible to a wider audience.

How is Speechify TTS better than Murf AI text to speech, Google Voice, or TTSReader?

Speechify TTS stands out by offering a more natural and human-like voice quality, a wider range of customization options, and user-friendly integration across devices. Plus, our dedication to accessibility means that we ensure a seamless and inclusive experience for all users.

Hear from our customers

I like that for other basic and pro pricing packages you have a wealth of options, which you don't usually get within these amounts. My favorite option is the copy/paste feature of text and the separation of it into paragraph and/or sentences and that you can download as a single or as multiple files. This makes the workflow smoother when developing multiple videos or animations.

Murf.ai streamlines the content creation workflow and reduces time/cost for e-learning developers. Many of the computer-generated voices are very realistic, and my organizational training clients are typically very happy with the results. It generates realistic narrations, along with scripts and subtitles in all popular formats.

I recently tried murf.ai and I have to say I am thoroughly impressed. The quality of the generated voice is exceptional and very realistic, which is important for my business needs. The platform is user-friendly and easy to navigate, and the range of voices available is impressive. I was also pleased with the prompt and helpful customer support I received when I had questions. Overall, I highly recommend murf.ai to anyone looking for a high-quality and reliable text-to-speech generator. Keep up the great work!

We've been using Murf for our content production for a while now, and I can say Murf is the best TTS software out there -yes I've tried most of them single-handedly. Our favourite voice avatar is named AVA, She sounds just like your girlfriend next door! And you don't even have to get the PRO plan to get her voice!

Whilst updating our Integrated Management System, we decided to modernise the way we provide our front-line project staff with information and guidance. Rather than written documents, we have created a library of short, animated explainer videos. Murf was the perfect solution to provide the voiceover audio. Our scripts were easily uploaded on the Murf platform. The voices are professional, friendly and very clear. When watching our videos, you would not believe that the voiceover is done with AI

Valuable tool for enhancing e-learning content Murf is a quality, cost-effective solution for creating voiceover narration for our e-learning content. It is easy to use, fast and produces excellent results. It allows us to enhance e-learning content by providing an audio element to enrich content.

Murf is a great tool with the ability to sync high quality voice overs to video. The library of pre-recorded voice options, screen recording is just what you need to help you create a slick video quickly. I would certainly recommend murf.ai to fellow founders and start-ups out there. I will be using your tool again soon!

Frequently asked questions

The best ai voice generator for creators.

For years, creating good voice overs meant investing hundreds if not thousands of dollars in hiring voice artists, renting a recording studio to get the script recorded, investing in expensive recording equipment (if you are recording from home), and recruiting or outsourcing the entire project to an audio editor to mix the audio and produce a high-quality voiceover. Not to mention, the valuable hours dedicated to the entire process. Even after all this, the quality of the produced audio file may be subpar. 

What if there was an alternative to creating studio-quality voiceovers, and that too from the comfort of your own homes? Introducing Murf AI voice generator, which eliminates the entire process of generating voiceovers manually and enables you to quickly produce human-like voiceovers without any specialized hardware or professional.

Leveraging advanced AI algorithms and deep learning, the realistic online voice generator tool allows you to convert written content into natural-sounding speech, in a matter of just a few minutes. Serving as a voice maker, it helps you create life-like synthetic voices that mimic the tonalities and prosodies of human speech and sound. Unlike other computer generated voice, Murf's AI voices don't sound monotonous and robotic. Rather Murf's TTS voices are super realistic and flawless.

Explore AI voices for any requirement

Voice Editing

Murf also simplifies the process of editing recorded voiceovers. Simply feed your recorded speech onto the Murf Studio and it automatically transcribes the content into an editable text format that you can edit and modify.

You can also remove any unneeded bits and background noise from your recording in the same way that you would delete words from a document, and your voice over will be trimmed accordingly.

Voice Cloning using custom voices

With Murf, you can also create an AI voice clone that delivers life-like diction and the full spectrum of human emotion and conveys all the nuances of human speech. In fact, using the voice cloning service, you can customize your AI voice clone to exhibit different emotions depending on the use case, be it advertisements, IVR, or character voices in games and animation. Murf currently only offers voice cloning services in the English language.

Voice Changer

Murf also supports an AI voice changer feature which offers one access to upload a raw home recording and convert that into a professional quality voice over with the voice of your choice. You don't have to worry about investing in expensive recording equipment, hiring a voice actor, or  renting out a studio. With Murf, you can record your audio files freestyle, and, with the click of a button convert it to studio quality.
