Use when someone wants text read aloud, narrated, voiced, saved as audio, turned into a dialogue or podcast, timed as a voiceover or prompter track, or transcribed from an audio link.\n---\n\n# Making audio with FreeTTS\n\nFreeTTS reads text aloud in 149 languages with 2,253 voices and returns a link to the audio file. Always give the person the link, the voice used and the length.\n\n## Pick the right tool\n\n- Plain text read aloud: `text_to_speech`. Pass `language` when no voice is named; FreeTTS picks a natural voice for it.\n- The person has not chosen a voice: `suggest_voice` with the language and what the audio is for, then use its first pick.\n- \"What voices do you have for ...\": `list_voices` with the language, or read the resource `freetts://voices/{language}`.\n- Two or more speakers (a dialogue, interview, lesson or podcast): `dialogue_to_speech`, one line per speaker as `Name: text`. Pass `voices` when the person names them.\n- Exact timing (a presenter's ear prompter, a voiceover timed to video, a workout or recipe with pauses, rehearsal tracks): `script_to_tracks`. Read the resource `freetts://script-mode/syntax` first; `(pause 2)` is exactly two seconds, `(beep)` and `(ding)` are sounds, `TRACK: name` starts a new file, `CUE:` lines use a second voice.\n- A recording to text: `transcribe_audio` with a public https link to the audio file.\n- Questions about limits or what an account can do: `check_usage`, or the resource `freetts://plans`.\n\n## Good results\n\n- Keep the person's words exactly as written unless they ask for edits. Split long text at paragraph breaks if it is longer than one request allows, and say so.\n- For names or unusual words, spell them the way they should sound.\n- Match the voice to the language of the text; do not read Spanish text with an English voice.\n- For children, lessons and audiobooks, a calm, clear voice at normal speed works best; `speed` from -15 to -5 helps learners.\n\n## Accounts\n\n- Some tools need a connected FreeTTS account. When a tool says so, tell the person plainly in one sentence and share the link it gives, and leave it at that.\n"},"changes":[],"summary":"First saved snapshot.
