Description

Most text-to-speech tools run on the cloud, limiting your usage through subscriptions, training corporate models with your data, and risking your privacy.

Bantr is different. It's a TTS app that runs entirely on your Mac, using Apple's MLX framework to generate natural-sounding voices. It's offline, private, and unlimited, offering:
- Over 150 voices
- No login/quota
- No subscription
- No data collection

You buy Bantr once, and it keeps getting better. Here’s what’s coming up next:
- Clone custom voices
- Read documents
- More languages
- And more from feedback

Create studio-quality voiceovers for tutorials, narration, animation, game characters, product demos, and more.
