When to use it
Choose Fast Speech when speed and cost matter most: drafts, long reads and everyday audio. For the most polished delivery or a cloned voice, use Text to Speech.
Create a take
- Open Fast Speech.
- Type or paste your script.
- Choose a voice. Blends you've saved appear under Your blends.
- Set the Pace if you like, from 0.5× to 2×.
- Click Speak. Audio starts playing in about a second.
Click Stop at any time. A take you stop while it's playing isn't charged.
Add a pause
Type [break 2] for a two-second pause. Fast Speech doesn't perform other tags. If your script has any, you'll be asked to remove them or move to Text to Speech.
Long scripts
Above a certain length, the button changes to Queue. Your script then runs in the background and appears in My Speeches when it's ready, so you can leave the page.
Save your takes
Fast Speech takes download as MP3. Saving a take to My Speeches is part of every paid plan. On the Free plan, download a take before you leave the page.
Voices on the Free plan
Free accounts can use a set of free Fast voices. The voice list shows how many more come with a paid plan.
