About Browser TTS

Overview

What is Browser TTS?

AI speech synthesis running entirely on your device.

View details

Browser-based text-to-speech uses AI models running in the browser via WebGPU to synthesize natural-sounding speech from text input. Unlike cloud TTS services, the inference happens entirely on your device.

Modern browser APIs like WebGPU provide GPU acceleration that makes running reasonably-sized neural network models practical directly in the browser. Combined with ONNX Runtime Web, AI models can generate speech without any server-side processing.

Privacy

100% Private

No server uploads.

View details

Text and audio never leave your device. Since inference happens locally via WebGPU, your voice samples and scripts remain completely private.

Cost

Free to use

No API costs or subscriptions.

View details

Because you are providing the compute power using your own device's GPU, there are no recurring server costs. Generate as much speech as your device allows.

Offline

Offline Capable

Works without internet.

View details

After the initial model download (which is cached in your browser), the text-to-speech generation works completely offline.

Features

Voice Cloning

Clone speaking styles locally.

View details

You can provide a short voice sample (5-10 seconds) to clone the speaking style for your new text, all processed locally within the browser.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is browser TTS?
Browser TTS (text-to-speech) runs AI speech synthesis models directly in the web browser using technologies like WebGPU and ONNX Runtime Web, without sending data to a remote server.
How is browser TTS different from cloud TTS?
Cloud TTS services send your text to a server for processing. Browser TTS runs the model locally on your device, keeping your data private and eliminating latency from network round-trips.
Can browser TTS clone voices?
Yes. With modern AI models, browser TTS can clone a voice from a short audio sample and generate new speech in that voice style — all locally in the browser.
Is browser TTS free?
TTSBox provides free browser-based TTS. Since the model runs on your device, there are no API costs or usage limits. You only need a compatible browser with WebGPU support.
