Speakatoo is a web-based text-to-speech studio from MicroPedia Global Services, a developer that also ships a companion Chrome extension under the same name. The extension is deliberately simple: you highlight text anywhere in the browser — an article, a PDF, or an email — and click the toolbar icon to have it read back to you. That makes the tool useful for people who want to consume content hands-free while working, or who find listening easier than reading on screen.
The web app is the larger half of the product. Instead of just playing text back, it generates downloadable voiceovers. You paste a script, choose from a library of AI voices across many languages and accents, adjust speed, pitch, pauses, and pronunciation, and then export a finished MP3 or WAV. Emotion presets let the same voice sound cheerful, calm, promotional, sad, or newscast-like, and a BETA voice cloning feature can build a custom voice from a short sample.
Speakatoo targets creators rather than developers first: YouTubers, podcasters, eLearning authors, ad producers, and IVR builders who need voiceover audio quickly and without a recording studio. Pricing is designed to be flexible — a limited free monthly character allowance on sign-up, a one-time pay-as-you-go character top-up, and monthly subscription tiers with larger character quotas, commercial rights, and priority support. The Chrome extension itself is free to install and mainly acts as a lightweight entry point into the same voice engine.
