Terms of Use
Last updated: April 2026. These are the ground rules for using Quick TTS.
What Quick TTS is
Quick TTS is a free, browser-based text-to-speech tool. You paste text; your browser reads it aloud using either your device's built-in speech engine (Web Speech API) or an optional AI voice model (Kokoro) that runs locally on your GPU.
Free to use, no account needed
You don't need to sign up, pay, or install anything. We monetize the site through display advertising (via Google AdSense) so it can stay free.
What you can paste
Because all synthesis happens in your browser and we never see your text, we're not policing what you paste. That said, you're responsible for your own use of the tool. Don't use Quick TTS to:
- Produce audio that violates someone else's rights (e.g., reading copyrighted content you don't have rights to, for distribution)
- Generate harassment, threats, or content that targets a specific person unlawfully
- Impersonate real people in a deceptive way
- Produce content illegal in your jurisdiction
Common-sense stuff. If you're using it to read your own essay out loud while you proofread, or to listen to an article you're tired of reading, you're fine.
No warranty
Quick TTS is provided "as is." We don't guarantee it'll work on every browser, every device, or at every moment. The Web Speech API in particular is implemented differently by different browsers and operating systems, so voice quality and availability vary. The AI Voice feature requires WebGPU and a decent GPU; on unsupported devices it's disabled.
We're not liable for damages arising from your use of the site to the extent allowed by law.
Third-party content
This site loads the AI voice library from jsDelivr and the model weights from Hugging Face if you enable the AI Voice feature. Those services have their own terms. Ads are served by Google AdSense and are subject to Google's policies.
Changes
These terms may change over time. The current version is always at this URL, with the date at the top.
