What is Out Loud?

Out Loud is a fast, free, open-source AI text-to-speech application that runs 100% offline and 100% private. Nothing you type, paste, or read ever leaves your device. It offers 50+ natural AI voices across 8 languages, available as a desktop app (macOS, Windows, Linux) and a Chrome extension. MIT licensed, no signup, no account, no telemetry.

Out Loud converts text into natural-sounding speech entirely on your local machine. Paste text into the desktop app or click the Chrome extension on any webpage (articles, PDFs, emails) and it reads aloud. A lightweight AI model is downloaded once during setup (80–320 MB), after which no internet is required. Speech streams in a couple hundred milliseconds.

Core principles: 100% Offline — Everything runs locally. No internet needed after install. 100% Private — No telemetry, no cloud, no accounts, no phone-home. Public source means you can verify it yourself. Free & Open Source — MIT licensed. Fork, audit, modify. No ads, trackers, or upsells.

Voices & languages 50+ voices spanning English (US & UK), Japanese, Chinese (Mandarin), Spanish, Hindi, Italian, and Brazilian Portuguese. Named voices include Heart (warm & expressive, US), Bella (clear & confident, US), Emma (refined British), Xiaobei (Mandarin), Alpha (Japanese), Dora (Castilian Spanish), Sara (Italian), Beta (Hindi), and Alex (Brazilian Portuguese).
