The voice controls top tools charge for — free
Forgely combines the most-used features of ElevenLabs, Murf, and PlayHT into a free browser tool. Real-time word highlighting, emotion presets, accent selection, emphasis tags, and pause control — no subscription required for the core experience.
Live word highlighting
Every word glows in sync with the audio as it's spoken — like ElevenLabs and Murf. Perfect for teleprompter, proofreading by ear, and reading accessibility.
8 emotion & style presets
Professional, Casual, Energetic, Calm, Storytelling, Authoritative, Happy, Dramatic — each maps pitch and rate to the right character. Override with manual sliders anytime.
4 English accents
American, British, Australian, Indian English. The engine selects the best regional voice available in your browser for each accent and gender combination.
Emphasis tags (*word*)
Wrap any word in *asterisks* to make the voice stress it with higher pitch. Natural spoken emphasis exactly where you need it, without recording anything.
Timed pause control
Use [pause] for a short natural break or [pause:2] for a 2-second silence. Ideal for scripted narration, podcast pacing, and dramatic beats.
Speed, pitch & volume
Three independent sliders give full manual control. Speed from 0.5x to 1.8x. Pitch from deep to high. Volume from silent to maximum.
First-sentence preview
Hit the preview button to hear just the opening sentence and verify your voice settings before playing the full script.
Dyslexia-friendly mode
Toggle on larger, spaced text with wider word and line spacing — making the word-highlighting view more accessible for dyslexic readers.
Unlimited characters
Free tier supports up to 1,000 characters. Pro removes all limits — process full scripts, long-form articles, or complete audiobook chapters in one session.
Simple, honest pricing
Start free — no card required. Upgrade to Pro when you need unlimited characters and the full feature set.
Script to audio in three steps
All synthesis runs in your browser using the Web Speech API — which includes neural-quality voices on Chrome, Edge, and Safari — with a professional customization layer on top. Your text never leaves your device.
Write your script
Paste or type your text. Wrap words in *asterisks* to emphasize them. Type [pause] or [pause:2] anywhere you want a natural silence.
Configure the voice
Choose gender, accent, and emotion style. Use the preview button to test settings with your first sentence. Fine-tune speed, pitch, and volume.
Play and capture
Watch each word highlight as it's spoken. Record the audio with OBS, Audacity, or your screen recorder for your videos, courses, or podcasts.
Built for every kind of creator
Video voiceovers
Professional or Authoritative style, pitch tuned to your brand, captured with OBS — ready for YouTube, courses, or product demos.

Dyslexia mode + word highlighting + Calm style makes any content fully accessible for visual impairments and reading difficulties.
Proofreading by ear
Word highlighting while listening catches rhythm issues, repeated words, and awkward phrasing your eyes miss on the page.
Questions about Forgely TTS
Yes. The Free tier lets you convert up to 5,000 characters per conversion with unlimited conversions — no account required. That is more generous than ElevenLabs (10,000 chars/month total), Murf (10 minutes, no downloads), and Speechify (10 minutes/day). Pro removes the per-conversion limit and adds additional styles and features for $4.99/month.
As the voice speaks your text, each word lights up on screen in real time, in sync with the audio. This is great for teleprompter use, proofreading by ear, and reading accessibility — similar to what ElevenLabs offers but free and browser-based.
Wrap any word in *asterisks* to make the voice stress it with higher pitch. For example: "This is *really* important" will emphasize "really". The tool pre-processes the text and raises the pitch on that word's utterance automatically.
Type [pause] for a short natural break or [pause:2] for a 2-second pause. These markers are detected and converted to actual silences during playback — perfect for scripted narration, dramatic beats, and podcast pacing.
