What TTSMaker is
TTSMaker is a free web text-to-speech tool with a long list of voices and languages. You paste text, solve a CAPTCHA, convert and download the audio. Its free plan allows 20,000 characters a week and permits commercial use; paid plans (from $9.99 a month billed yearly, as of October 2026) remove the CAPTCHA and ads and raise the limits.
Why people look for a TTSMaker alternative
- The CAPTCHA on every conversion. It's fine once, tiring when you're converting a script line by line.
- Pasted text only. To hear a PDF or an ebook you first have to copy the text out, page numbers and headers included.
- Short per-conversion caps on many voices, so longer texts have to be split by hand.
How to convert text with ttsanything
- Paste your text in the box at the top of this page, or switch to Upload a file for a PDF, Word, EPUB or subtitle file, or Web link for an article.
- Pick a language and a voice. Press ▶ next to any voice to hear it first.
- Press Read it aloud. Playback starts within seconds and the passage being read is highlighted.
- Press Download MP3 when it's done.
