Text to speech
Create speech audio from the text you enter. Choose a supported language, voice and speaking speed, listen to a preview, then save it as an audio file such as MP3 or OGG. Use it as narration for an instructional video or as material when you want to deliver text through audio.

Preparing text & configuring speech
Organize punctuation & paragraphs
The text is processed by sentence or paragraph and combined into audio. If names or technical terms are pronounced differently from what you intend, revise them using kana or similar phonetic spelling and generate the audio again.
Match the language, region & voice
Choose a voice that supports the text's language. If only one region or voice is available, that value is displayed. The standard speed is 100%; you can make it slower or faster.
Previewing & generating audio to save are separate
Preview lets you check up to the first 100 characters, and preview audio cannot be saved. Use “Generate audio” when you need an audio file of the full text.
