Everything you need to give text a voice

One of Speecho's two core tools - speech becomes text, and text becomes speech.

138 stock voices

Thirteen OpenAI voices plus one hundred and twenty-five from ElevenLabs, including native speakers of twenty-two languages - each with a free preview sample.

Three quality tiers

Standard for drafts and utility audio, Enhanced and Premium (ElevenLabs) when it has to sound human.

Speaks your language

Voices follow the language of your text - and for twenty-two languages you can pick an actual native speaker instead of an English accent.

Frequently asked questions

How is text-to-speech billed?

Per 1,000 characters of input text, from the same credit balance as transcription: 50 credits with Standard (OpenAI) voices, 90 with Enhanced (ElevenLabs Flash), 180 with Premium (ElevenLabs Multilingual v2). Roughly, 1,000 characters is one minute of speech. The exact cost is shown live under the text box before you generate.

Which voices are available?

One hundred and thirty-eight licensed stock voices from two providers: thirteen OpenAI voices on the Standard tier and one hundred and twenty-five ElevenLabs voices shared by the Enhanced and Premium tiers - six universal ones plus native speakers of twenty-two languages: English (US and UK), Spanish, German, French, Portuguese, Italian, Japanese, Arabic, Korean, Dutch, Polish, Turkish, Ukrainian, Vietnamese, Hindi, Indonesian, Chinese, Russian, Filipino, Malay, Swedish and Romanian. Each has a free preview sample. Speecho does not offer voice cloning or custom voices.

What languages does it speak?

The voices speak the language of the text you paste - write in Spanish, get Spanish speech. For twenty-two languages the ElevenLabs tiers also offer native speakers, so the accent is local rather than English. Paste your text and the app detects the language and suggests matching voices automatically.

Can I control how a voice reads?

Yes - Standard (OpenAI) voices take a delivery style: default, narration, upbeat, calm, news or conversational. The same text can sound like an audiobook, a news bulletin or a casual chat. ElevenLabs tiers read in their natural delivery.

Can I turn a transcription into speech?

Yes - every transcript in your history has a Voice button that sends its text straight into the generator. Combined with translation, this turns a recording in one language into spoken audio in another: transcribe, translate, voice.

What format do I get, and how long is it stored?

MP3, playable in the browser and downloadable. Clips are stored for 90 days, and you can delete any clip - or your whole account - at any time, which removes the audio immediately.

Can I use the audio commercially?

Yes. Generation runs on paid API tiers of OpenAI and ElevenLabs, whose licenses permit commercial use of the generated audio. You are responsible for the content of the text you convert.

Is there a free tier?

Yes. Confirm your email and you get 150 free credits - about 3,000 characters of Standard speech - so you can generate a real clip before paying anything (voice previews are free too). After that it is pay-per-character with no subscription: a one-time $5 pack covers roughly 48,000 characters of Standard speech.
