Silero TTS: turn text into voice

Need a voiceover for a channel post, a funny voice message for a friend, or a long article read aloud? Send the text to Silero TTS and a voice message comes back within seconds 🎙

The bot comes from Silero, a team that builds its own speech synthesis and recognition models. More than 75,000 people use it every month, and over 430,000 have launched it overall.

Over 2,500 voices to pick from

The standout feature is the voice library. There are more than 2,500 options, male and female, calm narrators and characterful ones.

• /speaker opens the voice picker.
• /hd toggles HD voices, which sound cleaner and more natural than standard SD.
• /prosody adjusts speaking speed and pitch.
• /mp3 sends an audio file instead of a voice message, handy for video editing.

Russian and English are supported. The Russian catalog is especially deep, and the models handle stress in everyday text well.

Revoicing and video circles

Silero does more than read text. The /revoice command re-records your own voice or video note in a different voice, and /gif adds speech to GIFs and video circles 🎬

It is a popular trick for memes and pranks: you record a line in your own voice, and your friend hears it from a narrator or a character. Use /videonotes to switch video circle replies on or off.

Free tier and subscription

You can use the bot for free with limits on how many clips you make and how long they are. A subscription removes those limits, allows longer texts and gives stable speed without queues.

The /donate command shows payment options and subscription levels. A subscription bought directly from the project activates right away 💳

Getting clean audio

1. Use punctuation. Commas and periods shape pauses and intonation.
2. Spell out numbers and abbreviations when exact pronunciation matters.
3. Mark stress manually on rare words and names the model might misread.
4. Use HD for the final take and SD for drafts.
5. Tune the pace with /prosody. Videos often sound better slightly faster.

Who gets the most out of it

• Video creators who need narration without a microphone.
• Channel admins making audio versions of posts.
• Language learners who want to hear how a phrase sounds.
• Group chat pranksters, obviously.

If something breaks, start with /faq and /help. The /restart command resets settings and deletes your data, and /support plus the user chat cover harder cases 🛟

One courtesy rule: do not pass off a synthetic voice as a real person. For jokes and content it is a great tool, for deception it is not.
