2. Let's go!

Yukumo! is a text-to-speech service that can be used from your browser without installing any software .

It is free to use, but if you want to use it for commercial purposes you will need to purchase a license.

Text-to-speech service available from your browser

Yukumo! is a text-to-speech service that uses Aquest Corporation's speech synthesis library .

You can enter text from your browser and have the text read aloud without any installation required.

Of course, you can also download the audio file .

The saved format is MP3.

Can read aloud in monotone voice (slow voice)

The voice synthesis library "AquesTalk" that can be used with Yukumo! also includes a monotone voice (yukkuri voice) .

There are other software programs that can use monotone voices, but they all require downloading the software and cannot be used from a browser.

It's rare to find a text-to-speech service that can be used from a browser that uses a Yukkuri voice, so if you want to use a Yukkuri voice easily without having to download or install any software, I recommend using Yukumo!

Free for personal non-commercial use

Yukumo! is free for personal, non-commercial use .

You can start using it straight away from your browser without having to register, so it's easy to check what voice will actually read it in.

Commercial use requires payment

However, if you wish to use it for commercial purposes, you will need to purchase a paid license .

This is because we need to comply with the license of the voice synthesis library "AquesTalk" that Yukumo! uses.

A commercial license must be purchased from Aquest, Inc., the developer of the speech synthesis library software, not from the operator of Yukumo!.

Please note that both individuals and corporations will need a commercial license for any use that generates revenue, such as streaming video with advertisements, using the audio on commercial sites, or selling applications or videos that use the audio.

3. Text to voice

Text to voice is a web service that allows you to have audio read out from your browser .

Text entered in the browser can be read aloud and downloaded.

Free to use

Text to voice is free to use.

However, no detailed information about commercial use is provided.

Also, the operator is not specified , so if you want to use it for work, it is recommended that you consider using other services.
