Inside the app

Text to speech, audiobooks and captions in one app

TTAudio is a text-to-speech app that reads text aloud with 28 English AI voices and the voices installed on your phone, turns your own EPUB, PDF, Word and text books into audiobooks with chapters, writes word-by-word captions for audio and video in 99 languages, and makes videos with animated captions, all on your phone.

Voices that sound human

  • 28 AI voices with US and UK English accents, made on your phone.
  • Other languages are read with the voices installed on your phone.
  • Speed, pitch, pauses and a pronunciation dictionary for names.
  • Voice Mixer: blend two voices into your own sound (Pro).

Audiobooks from your own books

  • Import EPUB, PDF, Word (DOCX) or text, and chapters are found automatically.
  • Pick a narrator per language, add a cover and spoken chapter titles.
  • Long books keep creating in the background and pick up where they stopped.
  • Export one M4B file with chapters and cover art, or a folder of chapter files. Books protected by DRM can't be imported.

Automatic captions and lyrics

  • Pick a song, voice note, lecture or video, and the language is detected (99 languages).
  • Fix words and timing in the caption editor.
  • Export SRT, WebVTT, LRC, karaoke LRC, TXT or JSON.
  • Accuracy depends on the recording and the language. Pro adds larger models and translation to English.

Videos with captions that move

  • 20 animated styles (7 free), with captions that appear word by word in time with the voice.
  • Vertical, square and wide formats, in 720p or 1080p.
  • Captions in right-to-left and non-Latin scripts too.
  • Free videos run up to 60 seconds with a watermark; Pro allows up to 3 hours without one.

Read anything aloud

  • Paste text, or import PDF, Word, EPUB, TXT and web articles.
  • Photograph a printed page: on-device text recognition reads Latin, Chinese, Devanagari, Japanese and Korean script.
  • Dialogues: write "Alex: …" and "Sam: …" and every character gets their own voice (Pro).
  • Calm ambience under your voice: rain, ocean, lo-fi warmth or soft pads (Pro).

Listen and export

  • Background playback with lock-screen controls, sleep timer, speed and A–B loop.
  • For audio you create, the transcript follows the voice word by word.
  • See the file size before every export, and choose Small, Standard or High.

Private by design

  • Your texts and books stay on your phone. Speech, captions and text recognition run on the device. Your texts, books, audio and videos are never uploaded to us.
  • No account, no ads, no tracking. The app has no analytics or advertising tools of its own, and nothing to sign in to.
  • Downloads only when needed. AI voices, caption models and, on Android, text-recognition languages are downloaded once, the first time you need them.
