Most AI voiceover tools put the download button behind a sign-up wall, a watermark, or a monthly quota. uttrd doesn't. You paste a script, pick a voice, and download the MP3 — that's the entire product. Here's how to get the best result out of it.
1. Start from a finished script
Text-to-speech is only as good as the text. Write the script the way you'd actually say it out loud: short sentences, contractions, and punctuation where you'd naturally pause. Reading your draft aloud once before pasting it in catches more problems than any setting in the app.
2. Pick a voice that fits the content
Every voice card has a small speaker button that plays a sample — use it before committing. A tutorial reads better in a calm, patient voice; a gaming montage wants energy. If you plan to make more than one video, star the voice you choose so it stays at the top of the grid next time.
3. Shape the delivery with the Style levers
Tone, Energy, and Pacing are one-click starting points — pick Warm + Balanced + Steady and you're already most of the way to a good read. For full control, open "Edit as text" under Style: plain English works too, and "speak slowly and warmly, like explaining to a friend" changes the read more than any lever.
4. Preview before you generate
The Preview button reads the opening of your script with the current voice and style, free. Use it to sanity-check the vibe before generating the full take — it's much faster than generating, listening, and regenerating.
5. Generate, listen, download
Generate plays the full take as it renders. Replays are free, and your recent takes stay in the history list under the editor, so you can compare versions and download whichever one wins. The MP3 drops straight into any editor — Premiere, Resolve, CapCut, Descript.
On monetization: the audio you generate is yours to use in monetized videos. There's no watermark and no license tier to upgrade to.
