How it works

- Paste your scriptUp to 1,500 characters per generation on the landing page; longer scripts run inside the app. Ultra and Pro multilingual voices also take inline emotion tags like [whispers] or [excited] and a director's note for the whole take.
- Generate and downloadAudio streams back as it renders. Download WAV or MP3, mastered to -14 LUFS / 48 kHz so it drops straight into your edit.
What makes LeapFun text to speech different
- Publish-ready out of the box
Every export is loudness-mastered (-14 LUFS, true peak -2 dB, 48 kHz) — the same spec streaming platforms target. No separate mastering pass.
- Four voice tiers, one workspace
Leap Turbo for fast, economical drafts at half price (0.5 credits per character); Expressive and Pro at the standard rate (1 credit per character); Leap Ultra for cinematic delivery (1.5 credits per UTF-8 byte). Pro also runs Ultra's 30 multilingual voices at the standard rate (1 credit per UTF-8 byte on those voices), so you can draft on Pro and finish on Ultra. The rate shows next to each voice before you generate.
- Direct the read, not just the words
On Ultra and Pro multilingual voices, add sentence-level emotion tags and a director's note for style, pace and accent — the take changes, the script doesn't. Hear two notes on the same script below.
- 130+ languages, detected from your script
Leap Ultra voices read 130+ languages and Leap Pro's multilingual voices 100+. There is no language switch: write the script in Spanish, Japanese or Hindi and the same voice reads it. See the full language list with samples.
Same script, two director's notes
A director's note is a one-line brief for the whole take. Both clips are the same Leap Ultra voice reading the same lines — “Ninety seconds. That's all it took for the whole plan to fall apart. And nobody in the room said a word.” — and only the note changed.
Pick style, pace and accent from the presets or write the note in plain language. It works on Leap Ultra and Leap Pro multilingual voices, in every language they read, and pairs with inline tags such as [whispers] for single lines. The method, with examples, is in how to direct an AI voice.

Frequently asked questions
Is LeapFun text to speech free?
Yes to start: you get 3,000 credits on sign-up and 1,000 more in every active month, with access to every voice tier. Free-tier audio is for personal and evaluation use; commercial rights begin with the Starter plan.
How many characters is a credit?
One credit is one character on standard-rate voices. Turbo voices bill 0.5 credits per character; Ultra voices bill 1.5 credits per UTF-8 byte and Pro's multilingual voices 1 credit per UTF-8 byte. As a rule of thumb, 1,000 credits is about one minute of finished audio.
Can I use the audio commercially?
All paid plans include commercial usage rights for videos, podcasts, courses and other monetised work. The free tier does not.
Which languages are supported?
Leap Ultra voices read 130+ languages and Leap Pro's multilingual voices 100+, detected automatically from the script. Leap Expressive cloned voices speak 23 languages and Leap Turbo covers 9 languages and accents. The full list is on the Languages page.
What file formats can I download?
WAV and MP3, both loudness-mastered. Longer productions belong in Audiobook Studio, which also exports subtitles alongside the audio.
Do emotion tags work on every voice?
No. Inline tags such as [whispers] and the director's note are interpreted by Leap Ultra and Leap Pro multilingual voices. Turbo, Expressive and the Chinese dialect voices would read tags aloud, so the app strips them when you switch voices.
