Free text to speech with natural AI voices — in your browser
Paste any text and DrawnColor reads it aloud. Choose Natural AI voice for lifelike speech you can download as a WAV — powered by the Kokoro neural model running entirely on your device — or Instant voicefor immediate playback with your browser’s built-in voices. Either way it’s free, with no signup and nothing uploaded.
Are the AI voices really free and private?
Yes. The Kokoro voice model runs locally in your browser, so your text never leaves your device and there’s no per-character charge like cloud TTS services. The first time, your browser downloads the voice model (about 88 MB) and caches it; after that it even works offline.
Can I download the audio?
Yes — the Natural AI voice produces a downloadable WAV file, perfect for videos, narration and audiobooks. The Instant device voices are play-only.
Why might generating take a moment?
After the one-time model download, speech is generated on your own device. Longer passages take a little longer, so for the quickest result keep each request to a paragraph or two.
