A local ElevenLabs alternative for macOS: clone or design studio-grade voices and export MP3. One-time payment — no subscription, no per-character metering.
Hey Product Hunt 👋
I got tired of paying per character. Every time I wanted a draft read back to me, a voiceover for a demo, or a chapter as audio, the meter started running. Stop using it for a month, and you still pay.
So I built txt2mp3. It runs a speech model on your own Mac. Paste text, pick a voice, get an MP3. No account, no quota, no server.
The part I care about: ElevenLabs-class voices that you buy once. One payment, unlimited generation. Not a subscription.
What's in it:
- Clone a voice from a few seconds of recording
- Or describe a new voice in one sentence
- 14 built-in voices, 7 accents
- A local MCP server, so Claude or Cursor can generate speech for you
macOS on Apple silicon only for now. Free to try before you buy. $29 while the first 20 copies last, then the price goes up.
I'll be here all day. Tell me what's missing, or what sounds wrong — especially if you hit a voice that doesn't hold up.
