Crystal clear and natural sounding Google TTS voices
Google bought a company called Phonetic Arts last year to make their synthesized voices a lot more natural. I think they've just started implementing that technology in Google Translate. I don't think it works for too many languages yet, but English and Spanish voices sound very natural, almost real. Write something in the text box and then press to sound button to check it out.

Crystal clear and natural sounding Google TTS voices launched on October 21, 2011 with 6 votes, #95 of 292 launches that month and more than 50% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 15 years on.

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
