TTSBuddy

TTS Buddy converts text, documents and webpages into natural-sounding audio. You paste or add text, choose a voice and language mode, generate speech, and play it in the browser or download it. A free homepage preview of 300 characters lets you try a voice before signing in. It offers over 300 voices across 30+ language modes and is aimed at students, people who prefer listening to reading, creators drafting narration, professionals and developers.

The Chrome extension prepares readable webpage content for listening, an iPhone app is available, and the API and command-line tool serve repeatable or automated jobs. Requests from the signed-in dashboard and the API accept as many as 500,000 characters, and monthly usage and download limits vary with the chosen plan. The site states that it can support accessible listening but does not replace screen readers, transcripts or captions.

The site publishes documentation, a quick-start guide, a student and accessibility guide and an API reference, and it lists plans on a pricing page. The site also states that its product information is checked against first-party facts and documentation by an editorial team.
