We try to use as few cookies as possible. You can use the entire FreeTTS tool anonymously without accepting any of them. The cookies we set today fall into two categories: essential (required for the site to work) and analytics(help us understand what's popular). A third — advertising(Google AdSense) — will apply on the free tier once ads are enabled.

Either way, we never sell, share, or syndicate your data to a data broker, we never use the text you convert for advertising, and there is no cross-site tracking of your content.Cookies we use
