Hello ALL! I am George Pierce and this post is about a free online text-to-speech tool that you will love. In fact, "luv' is a part of its name, it is called Luvvoice. What I have found about luvvoice is that it seems to make the fewest number of mistakes. Mistakes? Most text-to-speech software is amazing, but when it comes to acronyms, for example, the acronym often comes out wrong. Specifically, one of my quiz videos referred to the recent MTV EMA awards. If you do not put in spaces (M T V E M A awards) most text-to-speech software, translate acronyms as words, thus creating a mistake. With Luvvoice, I did not need to add spaces.
No big deal? Yes and NO.
Mistakes can get by us; they take time to fix, and our time is valuable.
The above image is a snapshot of the Luvvoice landing page. Creating speech from text is as easy as copying and pasting or uploading. The voices are very realistic, with a huge selection. The fact that you have over 70 languages is also a plus, and you can also use this free tool to read content aloud.
The free version provides us with 20K characters per month, which should relate to about 31 minutes of free text-to-speech per month. If you need more, Luvvoice has affordable upgrades. I have the basic Luvvoice package which is 20K characters per TTS and 2M per month. What I found was that most free text-to-speech platforms (such as TTSMaker) have 'quality' voices that sound real, but the best voices have a low limit on the number of characters (500 to 3k). You can do multiple downloads, in other words, the software will allow you to break a 5K TTS down into 2 to 10 segments, to get a voice that sounds real and also has some excitement, but it takes time. With a Luvvoice upgrade, you and I can do a TTS up to about 31 minutes with a superb voice for a low cost and save time.
I am not affiliated with Luvvoice, I am a very happy user, I believe if you try it, you will be too!
Thank you for reading.
Much success,
George Pierce
PS. The snapshot below shows two examples of recent videos that have been created using AI that is free. The Christmas Quiz was created using Luvvoice. The Worst Movie Ever Quiz was made using HeyGen, an awesome free talking avatar option that you will also love.

PPS. Speaking of time, this post will serve as the basis for a script for a training video, it is called re-using content and can save you time.

There speaks the voice of wisdom! Well done George. PS Did you receive free YYC?
Thank you, Tom. I did not; however, it may be my fault. I have had family visiting for almost two weeks and changed laptops. All my passwords were never automatically updated.
I'll re-send. Look for 'Free YYC'.
Thank you so much, Tom.
