Where the MP3 goes next
- A video editor. Drop the MP3 on the timeline and the SRT next to it. Because the captions are timed per word rather than per line, they line up with the narration without hand-nudging.
- Your phone. The ID3 tags mean it appears with a real name in your music or podcast app rather than as an unnamed file.
- A long document, in parts. Split a script into blocks and the ZIP includes one MP3 per block under
parts/- the dry voice, before effects and music, which is what you want if you are assembling chapters in an editor. - Offline listening. Once downloaded it is yours; nothing phones home and nothing expires.
MP3 or WAV?
MP3 unless you have a specific reason. It is an eighth of the size, plays everywhere, and at speech bitrates the difference is not audible.
Choose WAV when the audio is going into an editor that will re-encode it again, since repeated lossy encoding does accumulate. Worth knowing: the WAV here is decoded from the same MP3, so it is not higher quality than the source - it simply stops further generational loss from that point on.
Questions
- What are the MP3's actual specifications?
- Mono, 24 kHz, 48 kbps constant bitrate - which is what the voice engine produces. If you add effects or background music, the file is re-encoded at 64 kbps so that the second pass costs as little quality as possible. Speech at these settings is clear; this is not a format for music.
- How long can the MP3 be?
- One render can use up to 7,000 characters, which is roughly seven minutes of speech. Longer projects are built in sittings - the allowance refills two minutes after you exhaust it.
- Does the file have proper track information?
- Yes. ID3 tags are written before you download, so the file shows a real title and the voice name as the artist instead of appearing as an untitled blob in your music library.
- Do I need to install anything?
- No. It runs in the browser - you just sign in, with Google or your email, to generate - and the MP3 is assembled on your device before it downloads.
- What else do I get with the MP3?
- Word-accurate SRT and WebVTT subtitles, a plain-text transcript, and - if you split the script into blocks - one MP3 per block. The ZIP download bundles all of it together.
