Which Spanish accent should I choose?
Pick the accent your listener expects. For a Mexican or general Latin American audience, Spanish (Mexico) or Spanish (United States) is a safe default; for an audience in Spain, use Spanish (Spain).
The differences are real. Pronunciation of "c" and "z," vocabulary and rhythm all shift between regions, and a voice from the wrong country can sound slightly off to a native listener.
Here are the regions in our free voice list today:
| Region | Spanish variants available |
|---|---|
| North America | Mexico, United States |

| Central America and Caribbean | Costa Rica, Cuba, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, Puerto Rico |

Is it free, and what are the limits?
Yes. The free cloud voices read up to 5,000 characters per conversion, which is about a page and a half of text, with no account and no credit card.
For longer text you can switch to a local voice (no limit, see below), or get Lifetime Boost, a one-time payment that raises the cap to 1,000,000 characters per conversion and adds MP3 download.
Can I use Spanish text to speech privately?
Yes. Our local voices run inside your browser after a one-time download of roughly 90 to 330 MB (it depends on your browser), so your text never leaves your computer and there's no character limit.
Two local models include Spanish. Kokoro has three Spanish voices (Dora, Alex and Santa), and Supertonic has two (Sofia and Carlos). Kokoro-82M is an open model under the Apache 2.0 license. We go deeper on running voices locally in our Kokoro on Mac guide.
Is Spanish text to speech good for learning Spanish?
It's a handy practice tool. Paste a paragraph from your textbook, slow the speed down, and listen while you read along, then speed it back up as your ear catches on.
Try the same sentence in a Mexican voice and a Spain voice to hear how the accents differ. And if you're reading a Spanish book, see how to turn an EPUB into an audiobook to listen a chapter at a time.
Can I turn Spanish text into an MP3?
Yes, with Lifetime Boost or a subscription. Generate the audio, then click the download button in the player.
Our text to MP3 guide covers file length, voice choice and naming tips.
Frequently asked questions
Can it read a mix of English and Spanish?
Each voice is built for one language, so pick the voice for the main language of your text. Short English words in a Spanish text may come out with a Spanish pronunciation.
Can I upload a Spanish PDF?
Yes. Upload works for PDF, Word, EPUB, text and images, and scanned pages go through OCR in your browser. See how to read a PDF out loud.
What other languages are available?
Our free voice list covers 75 languages. Paid subscriptions add Google's Neural2, WaveNet and Gemini voices.
Do I need to install anything?
No. It runs in your browser. Local voices download a model the first time you use them.
