Text to speech for English (United States) scripts

Make an instruction, lesson or customer message for a US audience. Start with the sentence that contains the location, date or next action. You can hear a draft before making an account, then choose whether to keep the recording. The useful test is whether someone can follow the message without reading your screen.

Sophie Park

Type or paste a short passage, choose a voice, then press Play. Listen before deciding whether to keep it. Anonymous playback has a 1,500-character limit per generation. Saving and downloading come after the account step.

Use the spelling on your US signs and forms. Write the month name when a short numeric date could be misunderstood.

Compare the available voices

This collection has 186 voices: 90 male and 96 female. Use a sentence from your actual task to compare them. A collection label is a starting point; it does not guarantee the pronunciation of every local name. There are 75 Emotional-tier voices in this collection. Their presets let you compare delivery; choose after hearing the line in context.

Filter by voice gender and quality. Quality labels are Standard, Premium and Emotional; show only options available in this collection. Choose a voice by its actual sample, rather than by the tier name alone.

Choose the right language page

For another audience, compare these regional collections and adapt the wording as well as the voice. The main English collection remains available through its existing page.

Write the information a US listener needs

Match the recording to the way the service works. If a customer needs an order number at pickup, say that before explaining the background. In a training module, name the action before describing why it matters. A clear instruction gives you a better voice test than a generic greeting.

Use US spelling where listeners will also see the text: color, center and program. Keep the same label in the narration and the product interface. A voice does not correct a mismatch between the button shown on screen and the action you describe.

Write dates with the month in words when the audience could read the figures differently. Check reference numbers separately from prices. A shipment identifier may need a sequence of digits, while a quantity needs a number and unit. Listen to both in their actual sentences.

Preview place names early. Arkansas and Des Moines show why the written form is not enough to predict a reading. For a name that needs a fixed pronunciation, use the studio dictionary, available on every plan. Keep the public spelling correct rather than changing every occurrence to a phonetic spelling that confuses readers.

Start with the task

  • For staff orientation, match room and equipment names to the signs employees see. Listen without the worksheet to check that the next action is still understandable.
  • For pickup notices, put the address or collection point before the supporting details. Keep temporary closures separate from the usual welcome.
  • For a course introduction, explain what the student should have ready. Put the first question on its own so the learner has a moment to think.
  • For seasonal store campaigns, review the offer conditions alongside the headline. Check the expiry date before reusing an earlier recording.

From script to audio

  1. Paste the passage you want to hear. Keep the sentence with the awkward name or abbreviation in your first test.
  2. Pick a voice from this collection. Use this voice returns that choice to the same script tool.
  3. Press Play and listen through. After the result, save and download the MP3 with a free account. Continue in the studio for document or URL import, pronunciation editing and downloads.

What the free account includes

The Free plan includes every voice and unlimited studio previews. A free account can download its output as MP3 within its credit allowance. The allowance is 2,500 credits, given once, not renewed monthly.

Free use is for personal projects and evaluation. Commercial rights require a paid plan. If you are making a client deliverable or an advertisement, check the plan terms before using the recording. Prices on these pages are in USD. A voice preview helps you choose; it does not settle the rights for the finished project.

Before you make your recording

Start with the US collection above and play the part of the message someone must act on. The page offers listening before registration within its tool limit. Saving the chosen result comes later, through an account.

After you have checked the notice, continue to the studio with a free account for the MP3 download. Its credit allowance applies. The anonymous player is for hearing the result before that account step.

You can try the full voice collection on Free, with unlimited studio previews. For a recurring staff message, preview the revised instruction before generating the file. New output still uses the one-time allowance.

Use the collection’s male and female options shown above. Compare the same orientation sentence with each choice. Availability is a catalogue fact, while the decision about which narrator suits the team comes from listening.

For a client recording or commercial store campaign, select a paid plan with commercial rights. Free remains for personal work and evaluation. Downloading a test does not change those terms.

Use a month name for ambiguous dates and the spoken unit for a quantity. A phone number and a price need different readings. Preview them in context; the studio dictionary can set a term consistently on every plan.

Listen to each available voice rather than assuming it represents a particular city or community. The collection is a way to find US English options. It does not guarantee a Southern, Boston or other named local accent. Test your own script if a location or character needs a particular delivery.

Keep the factual core, then check date order, units and the words used by the other audience. A US date in figures can be understood differently elsewhere. Make each version clear on its own, especially if someone hears the recording without the matching written notice.

Continue in Listen2It

Listen2It is an AI audio suite: voiceover, dubbing, music, and sound effects, with a multi-track editor. For an existing recording, explore dubbing; its supported languages are a separate list from these voices. You can also explore voice changing, voice cloning, pricing or all languages. Choose the tool for the material you already have: written script or recorded speech.

Hear your own script

Paste the instruction you need people to follow. Test its location or deadline first, then listen without the written notice. Return to this same tool with your script and voice choice preserved.
