About ToBe SAID: Offline TTS Engine
Your Voice. Your Device. Your Privacy. ToBe SAID gives your iPhone, iPad, and Mac natural AI voices that run on the device itself. It is a system-wide Text-to-Speech (TTS) engine: once installed, its voices appear in your system voice list, so VoiceOver, Spoken Content, and any app that can use system voices can speak with them. No servers. No ads. No in-app purchases. No tracking. ToBe SAID is a voice provider, not a reading app. It works together with the apps you already use: your e-book reader, your PDF viewer, your AAC communication app, or the system's own Speak features. TRY IT IN SECONDS Open the app, type some text, and hear it instantly. The English voices are ready the moment you install. Other languages need a one-time voice download, and after that they work fully offline: on a plane, on a train, or anywhere without a signal. WHAT YOU GET, FREE • 4 natural English voices • 2 natural voices in each of 14 other languages • All voices work system-wide, in every app that lists system voices • Works offline after the one-time voice download • No ads and no in-app purchases HEAR YOUR OWN VOICE Voice cloning preview: import a short audio file (MP3, WAV, OGG, and other popular formats, any length: ToBe SAID trims it automatically; 15 seconds is all it needs) and hear your clone speak inside the app. In this free app, the clone is a preview and stays inside the app. WANT TO KEEP YOUR CLONES? ToBe SAID Pro is a separate app with the same voices, plus an unlimited voice library: save as many cloned voices as you like and use them in every app that uses system voices. 15 LANGUAGES English, French, Spanish, Italian, German, Dutch, Portuguese, Russian, Czech, Estonian, Korean, Hindi, Indonesian, Greek, Turkish. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything runs on your device. Your text and your audio files stay with you. Only clone your own voice or voices you have permission to use.
