💬 Text to Speech Converter - FREE & No Limits

In this step-by-step tutorial, learn how you can convert text into speech for free and with no time limits.

First, I show you how to turn text into audio using two apps that come for free with Windows 10. You can use the pre-installed OneNote app to read the text and the voice recorder app to record the audio.

Next, we install Audacity to give you more control over your text to speech converter.

At the end, we install the Balabolka app, which allows us to turn text into speech and then download the audio in any format, like wav, mp3, ogg, and other file types. Additionally, learn how to use various cloud services, like IBM Watson, Google Cloud, Baidu, and others to convert your text into speech. You can choose from multiple voices that sound very natural.

With an audio file of your text, you can listen to it again later or you can insert on top of a video.

This is a beautifully done video tutorial.
It concisely presented exactly what I wanted to know quickly without wasting my time on extraneous banter.
I had already spent a few hours investigating text to speech when I found your video and got all I wanted to know in a mere 12 minutes.
The computer screen on the video was clear and readable. The demonstrations were concise.
It was nice of you to take the time to make this tutorial and efficiently help others. Watching it made me think about making a few videos of my own about things I know about (like Photoshop) so I can help others the way you do.

Everything I needed to know about video editing, I found on your channel. Thank you so much.

That last option was the bomb for me! I was tearing my hair out trying to figure out how to get more voices for Balabolka, but everything that was recommended on the Internet was outdated, obsolete, or just didn't work. Then you pointed out at the end of this video that you can save an input text in a voice of one's choice file directly through one of those options in the Save Audio File window (I chose IBM Watson) from a wide choice of voices (I chose James), not only the artificial-sounding MS David and MS Zira! This means I can now record my own audiobooks from text and epub files! Thank you Kevin! 😂😁

Great job on this tutorial Kevin! You packed a lot of information into a short time, made it easy and provided multiple resources. Thank you!🤗

[kenworldtechnologies]

This actually one of the most amazing piece of tutorial i have ever come across

[yoenmiya]

This video was made more than six months ago and YouTube just served it up today. Going forward, I am going to start checking your channel and not wait for YouTube to suggest your videos. Thanks for posting this video, this text to speech app is going to be extremely helpful.

It's amazing how difficult Windows makes it to record system sound. This video is solid gold!

[christinac]

Yay! Thank you so much! This is what I've been hoping you'd cover! I retain more information if I hear it more so than reading so this is extremely helpful. You're so awesome‼️ 🤗 💕

Thank you. I hate editing, but I found hearing it while I read helps. I've been looking for a text to voice program that doesn't have a word count limit. I've been using audacity for a while now, and knew the trick of recording into it, but I'd never heard of Balabolka. This works wonderfully and I can see the text as it reads. Thank you for making this video and sharing.

[hannah_pharmacist]

Went through so many useless click baits to finally find your video! Such a gem! ❤

[BarbaraRademacher]

Kevin, I use the transcription app in Microsoft Teams and I am astounded at its accuracy. I'm a math teacher, so my lectures get pretty technical. Still, I find very few mistakes. Now, I want to watch and listen to your video about the converter.

[texttoaudiospeech]

Thank you for this great information included In the mean time we are offering paid service with HQ human audible voices. Thought to leave it free, but the expense of hosting, API etc. didn't allowed me to leave it for free 😂😅

[_Jesuschristcares]

Your explanations are so clear and concise. I feel like I'm in a classroom with a great teacher

[eugheniat.]

Great video review as always! Thank you for taking what someone wrote to you about your voice with a good sense of humor and making a small research project out of it.

[GamerZone]

Thanks, Kevin, Your tutorials are short and concise. Your timestamps and links are great to help!
