AI text to speech turns written text into spoken audio using a synthetic voice. RightBlogger’s Text to Speech Generator reads up to 10,000 characters of your text in one of 46 voices and gives you a WAV audio file you can play on the page and download.
The voices cover American and British English, French, Hindi, Italian, Japanese and Mandarin Chinese. You can also set the speaking speed anywhere from 0.5x to 2x.
Use it to voice a video script, add an audio version to a blog post, or proofread your own writing by ear. Hearing a draft read back is a quick way to catch clunky sentences you skim past on screen.
How to use the Text to Speech Generator
Step 1: Paste your text
Paste or type what you want read aloud into the Text box. It holds up to 10,000 characters.
Step 2: Pick a voice
Open the Voice menu and choose one. You can type in the menu to search by name or language. Bella (US Female), marked with a star, is selected by default.
Step 3: Set the speed
Leave Speed on 1x (Normal), or pick a slower or faster option.
Step 4: Click Generate Audio, then download
An audio player appears when the file is ready. Press play to listen, then click Download to save the file.
The form stays editable after each run, so you can switch the voice or speed and click Generate Audio again to compare versions.
What each setting does
Text
The words to be spoken, up to 10,000 characters including spaces and punctuation. The tool reads your text as written and doesn’t translate it. For Japanese audio, paste Japanese text and choose a Japanese voice.
Voice
Pick from 46 voices. Each one belongs to a single language and accent, shown in its label, such as Emma (UK Female) or Kumo (Japanese Male). If you don’t choose, the tool uses Bella.
Speed
Sets how fast the voice talks. There are six options: 0.5x (Slow), 0.75x, 1x (Normal), 1.25x, 1.5x and 2x (Fast).
Slower speeds can help with step-by-step instructions or language practice. Faster speeds make it quicker to proofread a long draft by ear.
Every voice, by language
English has the most choice, with 26 of the 46 voices. French has a single voice, and Italian has one female and one male option.
| Language | Female voices | Male voices |
|---|---|---|
| American English | Alloy, Aoede, Bella, Jessica, Kore, Nicole, Nova, River, Sarah, Sky | Adam, Echo, Eric, Fenrir, Liam, Michael, Onyx, Puck |
| British English | Alice, Emma, Isabella, Lily | Daniel, Fable, George, Lewis |
| French | Siwis | None |
| Hindi | Alpha, Beta | Omega, Psi |
| Italian | Sara | Nicola |
| Japanese | Alpha, Gongitsune, Nezumi, Tebukuro | Kumo |
| Mandarin Chinese | Xiaobei, Xiaoni, Xiaoxiao, Xiaoyi | Yunjian, Yunxi, Yunxia, Yunyang |
Quality isn’t identical across the list. Kokoro, the model behind the tool, publishes grades for each of its voices, and Bella is among the highest rated.
The same notes say support for languages other than English can be thin. Test a short paragraph before you convert a long script in French, Hindi, Italian, Japanese or Mandarin.
Adding the audio to a blog post
An audio version lets readers listen instead of read. In WordPress it takes a few minutes:
- Generate the audio from your post text and click Download.
- Convert the WAV to MP3 if file size matters. Uncompressed audio for a long post can get large.
- In the WordPress editor, add an Audio block near the top of the post and upload the file.
- Add a short label above the player, such as “Listen to this post,” so readers know what it is.
Tips for better-sounding audio
- Audition voices on a short sample. Generate one paragraph with two or three voices, pick a favorite, then run the full text.
- Split long pieces at headings. Anything over 10,000 characters has to go in parts, and breaking at section headings keeps each file self-contained. To shorten a long post instead, run it through the Summarizer first.
- Edit for the ear. Spell out abbreviations, symbols and numbers the way you want them said, and remove URLs, image captions and table text that make no sense out loud.
- Respell problem words. If a name or term comes out wrong, try writing it the way it sounds and generate again.
- Download every file you want to keep. Text to Speech results aren’t saved to your RightBlogger history the way written content is.
If you need something to read, the YouTube Video Script tool drafts a script from a topic or video title, which you can paste straight into the Text box.
AI Text to Speech FAQs
What AI model powers this text to speech tool?
It runs on Kokoro v1.0, an open-weight text to speech model with 82 million parameters, released under the Apache 2.0 license.
What file format is the audio?
You get a WAV file. WAV is uncompressed, so files are larger than MP3. If you need a smaller file for your site or podcast host, convert it with any audio editor.
Can I clone my own voice?
No. The tool uses the 46 preset voices listed above. There’s no option to upload a voice sample or create a custom voice.
Can it turn audio back into text?
No, it only goes from text to audio. For the reverse, Transcribe Audio or Video turns an uploaded audio or video file into a transcript.
Do I need an account to use it?
Yes. Audio generation runs for signed-in RightBlogger users, and you can sign up for free from the button on this page. The pricing page lists what each plan includes.
