SuperClonica solves a different problem: it turns text into audio files on your own computer, with voices you keep.\n\nThis page compares the two honestly, says when Speechify is the better choice, and shows how to listen to and save text with SuperClonica.","sections":[{"heading":"Two different tools","points":["Speechify: a reading app that speaks text as you read along, synced across your devices.","SuperClonica: a catalog of voices and a free engine that writes speech to MP3, WAV, FLAC or OGG files on your computer.","SuperClonica has no phone app and no browser extension; the free online test works in any browser.","SuperClonica voices speak 31 languages; Chinese is not supported yet."],"paragraphs":["The question is not which one is better, but whether you want to listen in an app or to get audio files."]},{"heading":"When Speechify is the better choice","paragraphs":["If you mainly want to listen to web pages, PDFs and e-mails on your phone, with the text highlighted as it is read and your place saved across devices, a reading app such as Speechify is the more convenient tool. SuperClonica does not try to be one."]},{"heading":"When SuperClonica fits better","points":["You want files to keep, edit, send or publish: an MP3 of an article, a lecture, a story.","Your text is private: the engine runs offline, and nothing is sent to a server.","You want character voices, narrators or a voice trained from your own recording.","You prefer no subscription: the engine is free, and catalog voices are bought once."],"paragraphs":["The same voice file works in scripts, games and apps through the engine and its Python API."]},{"heading":"Listen to a text with SuperClonica","paragraphs":["On the page of any voice, paste a phrase of 30 to 100 characters and press Voice it to hear it for free, with no account. For whole texts, install the free engine with python -m pip install superclonica-cpu, save the text as a file and run superclonica --text-file article.txt --voice F2 --lang en --output article.mp3. Long texts are split at natural pauses and joined into one file; on an ordinary desktop processor an hour of audio takes several minutes."]},{"heading":"What it costs","paragraphs":["The SuperClonica engine and the ten stock voices of the model are free, with no character limit, and several catalog voices are free too. Other voices are bought once, with no subscription, and stay yours as a JSON file. Speechify’s Premium is a subscription; check its current price on its own site before you compare."]}],"faq":[{"question":"Is SuperClonica a replacement for Speechify?","answer":"For making audio files, yes. For an app that reads web pages and documents aloud with the text highlighted on your phone, no; that is what reading apps are for."},{"question":"Can SuperClonica read a PDF?","answer":"The engine reads text. Copy the text from the PDF into a text file and voice it with --text-file; the result can be an MP3."},{"question":"Is there a phone app?","answer":"No. The free online test works in a phone browser, and the engine runs on Windows, macOS and Linux computers."},{"question":"Is it free?","answer":"The engine and the ten stock voices are free, with no character limit.
