The free online text-to-speech converter for blogs

Convert any article into natural-sounding audio for free — no software, no API keys. Paste your text and embed the result.

Looking for an online text to speech converter that doesn't sound robotic and doesn't cost a fortune? Here's how to turn an article into clean audio in a couple of minutes, free.

Step 1 — paste your text

Open a ButterReader player and paste your article into the text field. No software to download, no API key to wire up. The free tier handles plenty for a personal blog.

Step 2 — pick a voice

Choose a Natural voice for clean narration or an Expressive one for tone. Set the speed and you're done. (More on the difference in our TTS guide.)

Step 3 — embed the audio

Once it's generated, copy the embed snippet and drop the player on your site:

<script src="https://butter-reader.web.app/widget/AudioPlayerWidget.bundle.js"
        data-player-id="YOUR_PLAYER_ID"></script>

For blogs, the widget can even read the page automatically, so each post converts itself — see the docs for setup.

Why free TTS is worth it

A free text to speech tts option lets every post double as audio with zero extra writing. Readers who'd never sit and read can listen on a commute instead.

Convert your first article free.
