You can get started with TTS technology by trying Voice Insert for free. Our TT tool makes it easy to start turning your text into audio. With our free plan, you can explore what our text-to-voice software offers, transcribing up to 10,000 words a month into audio. Upgrade your plan anytime if you need more words or want to explore advanced features, like our library of over 500 voices and over 50 languages.

Continuous advancements in computer science and linguistics gradually improved speech quality. The game-changer came in the early 2000s with the introduction of artificial intelligence (AI) and deep learning. These technologies revolutionized TTS, producing remarkably natural-sounding voices that mimic human speech patterns, intonation and emotions.

Text-to-speech technology, as we know it today, was first invented in 1968 by Noriko Umeda and her team at the Electrotechnical Laboratory in Japan. They developed the first general English text-to-speech system, generating voice output from plain text for the first time. 

Umeda’s work laid the foundation for the natural-sounding text-to-speech we use today in various applications, including: 

• Screen readers for visually impaired users 
• Voice assistants like Siri and Alexa
• Text-to-speech apps like Voice Insert

First of all, don’t panic. If you’re trying our free TTS service and find that 10,000 words a month isn’t enough to meet your needs, you can upgrade your price plan at any point to continue using the app. Upgrading will allow you to access additional credits and features (depending on your plan) while keeping all your current audio transcriptions intact.

Yes. Voice Insert offers a “Starter” plan that allows you to convert up to 10,000 words per month into audio for free. It’s a good option for trying out the service or for small projects with limited text content. Just keep in mind that our free TTS tool plan only offers standard voices, and you won’t have access to email support or advanced features.

Yes. Voice Insert converts any text you provide into high-quality audio content — and you can even pick the voice and tone. You can download the file, copy the link or embed a customizable audio widget into your website.

Text-to-speech technology enhances website accessibility, making your content more inclusive and allowing a broader range of users to engage with it effectively, regardless of their visual capabilities or reading proficiency. Accessibility is particularly important to:

• Support visually impaired users: Converting written content to audio helps make it accessible to people with vision impairments or blindness.
• Assist users with reading difficulties: Creating audio versions of your text can improve comprehension and engagement for those with dyslexia or other reading challenges.
• Enhance content digestibility: TTS can make long-form articles or complex information more manageable for users who struggle to focus on or process text.
• Accommodate situational limitations: Providing audio content allows users to access information when reading might be difficult or impossible, such as while driving.

Using our app, publishers streamline the process of turning books into audiobooks. Begin by inputting each chapter of your book into our app, separating the sections into different segments. Segments help you: 

• Offer precise control over the pacing of your narration
• Make longer sections easier for listeners to digest
• Add organization to the structure of your audiobook

You can apply one or more voices from our library of over 200 options, testing until you find the perfect narrator or characters for your project. Once your audiobook transcription is complete, you can download your file in MP3 format, ready to share with your audience.
