Publish — render to MP3
The device voice cannot be saved to a file — the browser gives no way to capture it. This renders your text through a studio voice instead and hands back real MP3s, faster than real time, already cut into pieces.
Fanny
The Author's Reader
Fanny reads your manuscript aloud in a voice you choose,
lighting each line as it speaks so you can follow along.
It uses the voices already on your computer —
no account, no internet, no special hardware.
Written for storytellers. Given freely to the world.

💡 On a laptop, the voices that say “On device” work with no internet. The ones marked “Online” need a connection and usually sound more natural. Reading one chapter at a time stays smoothest.
