What it is
What Is AI Text to Speech?
AI text to speech turns written words into a voice that sounds like a person reading them. You write the text, choose a voice and a model, and get an audio file back.
Anyscene puts Google's Gemini and three ElevenLabs models behind one text to speech generator, and every voice can be played before you spend a credit.
134 voices to hear first
70 Gemini voices in 10 use-case groups and 64 ElevenLabs voices, each with a sample you can play below.
130+ languages
Gemini detects the language of your text by itself. Flash and V3 also let you pin one of 32 languages.
One narrator or a cast
Read a script in one voice, or write a conversation for two Gemini voices or up to 6 ElevenLabs voices.
Say how it should sound
Describe the delivery in plain words, drop in a tone tag, or set speed and stability on ElevenLabs.
Voice library
134 Text to Speech Voices, Ready to Hear
Play any voice before you write a word. Gemini's voices are grouped by what they suit; the ElevenLabs voices also take speed and stability settings.

Same script, three models

We gave the same 162-character narration to each single-voice model. Play them side by side and hear how pace and tone change.
The harbor lights came on one by one. She counted them the way her father taught her, slowly, as if each one might answer back. Tonight, the last one stayed dark.

Direction
Tell It How to Sound
Text to speech sounds flat when every line gets the same read. Give the voice directions the way you would brief a narrator.
Describe the delivery (Gemini)
Every Gemini line has a How to say it box. Write the mood, the pace and the setting in a few words.
The harbor lights came on one by one.
How to say it: warm and unhurried, like a bedtime story
Doors open at nine. Don't be late.
How to say it: brisk and upbeat, like a radio ad
Drop in a tone tag (Gemini)
Put a tag where the voice should laugh, sigh or pause. The generator's Tone tags menu inserts them for you.
I can't believe it worked. <laugh> Okay. <short pause> Again, from the top.
- <laugh>
- <chuckle>
- <sigh>
- <gasp>
- <whispers>
- <short pause>
- <long pause>
- <breath>
- <cheer>
- <sob>
- <cough>
- <yawn>
Do
- Keep directions short: two to five words about mood and pace.
- Write numbers, dates and names the way they should be said.
- Use the Conversation tab when separate lines need their own voice or direction.
Don't
- Put stage directions like (sadly) inside the text; the voice may read them out.
- Stack several tags in a row; one tag per moment works best.
- Expect a direction to change who is speaking; pick another voice for that.
Conversations
Conversations, Not Just Narration
Switch the text to speech generator to Conversation, give each speaker a voice, and write the lines in order. The whole exchange comes back as one audio file.
- ArabellaDid you leave the porch light on?
