About English Text to Speech Online
This English text to speech page opens with the voice list filtered to English, so you can pick a voice, set the speed and press Speak. It is free, needs no sign-up and runs in your browser, so nothing you enter is uploaded.
English voices come with almost every operating system, often in several accents such as American, British, Indian and Australian. The list on this page shows the English voices your device reports, with the language tag next to each name, for example en-GB or en-US.
Instant mode starts at once and downloads nothing, but it cannot save audio. If you need a file, switch to Natural mode and use the downloadable Kokoro 82M English voices.
How to use English Text to Speech Online

Features
- Two modes: Instant device voices, and a Natural voice with WAV download.
- Voice list from your own device, filtered to English or Bangla with one tap.

- Long text split into sentences and streamed, with the current sentence highlighted.
- Pause, resume and stop at any time.
- Character and sentence counter, up to 20,000 characters.
- Natural mode asks before it downloads the 93 MB model and shows progress.
- Honest about limits: no download in Instant mode, and Bangla only when your device has a Bangla voice.
Privacy: how it works
- Your text is processed in your browser and is never sent to Ulkaa or to anyone else. Instant mode uses a voice that is already on your device and downloads nothing.
- Natural mode downloads one model, Kokoro 82M, from Hugging Face the first time you confirm it. The request does not include your text, and your browser may cache the model.
Tips
- Put a full stop, question mark or danda at the end of each sentence. The tool pauses and highlights at those marks.
- If a voice sounds flat, try another from the list. The quality differs a lot between voices.
- Spell out abbreviations and numbers you want read a certain way, for example write twenty twenty-six instead of 2026.
- On a phone, turn off silent mode, or the speech may play with no sound.
