🚀 Built a Free SRT-to-Speech Tool in 2 Days
Last week I stumbled on a Reddit post where someone was asking for a simple online tool to turn subtitle .srt files into speech. I couldn’t believe there is no a good solution out there, so… I built one.
Day 1
I hacked together a minimal prototype by porting KittenTTS into a browser runtime. That gave me basic text-to-speech working in the browser — no servers, no uploads, fully private.
Day 2
I added subtitle support. You can now drop in an .srt file and generate audio that perfectly aligns with your captions.
A few extras I snuck in along the way:
🎶 Queueing – feed in longer subtitle files, no problem.
⏱ Auto-fit – voice automatically fits within each subtitle’s duration.
⚡ Manual speed control – adjust playback speed per subtitle line.
📦 Output options – download as individual clips in a ZIP, or merge into one MP3 that matches your SRT timings.
Right now it’s:
âś… Free & unlimited
âś… Runs entirely in your browser (private, no uploads)
âś… No paywall, no login required
âś… English only (for now)

Would love feedback from anyone who works with subtitles, captions, or accessibility tools. What features would you want next?
