Create Audio from Text or Dialogue
Transforms a text or dialogue into audio with natural voices. Text mode uses one voice; Dialogue mode alternates two, with pauses between lines.

What is it for
Listening material made to order. Instead of looking for audio that happens to have your unit's vocabulary, you write the text and it becomes audio — at the speed your class can handle.
It works for dictation, for listening comprehension, for pronunciation models, and for role-play dialogues that students listen to before performing.
How to use
- Add the tool to your exercise.
- Choose the Mode:
- Text — one voice from beginning to end (narration, news, monologue).
- Dialogue — two voices that alternate. Write in the format
Name: line, one line per speaker turn.
- Write or paste in Text or Dialogue (up to 5,000 characters).
- Choose the Language: Portuguese (Brazil) or English (United States).
- Choose Voice A (and Voice B, which only appears in Dialogue mode). There are three male and three female voices per language.
- Choose the Speed: 0.75x, 1.0x, 1.25x, or 1.5x.
- Click Abracadabra ✨.
The result is a player with the transcript on the side. In Dialogue mode, the transcript already comes separated by speaker.

Tips
Credits: this is the only cost that varies with text size — 1 credit per 50 characters. Check the counter before generating (see the calculation below).
Tip: 0.75x is the best friend of A1 and A2 classes. Generate the same line twice, at 0.75x and 1.0x, and use both in sequence in your lesson.
Tip: in Dialogue mode, write short lines. Long lines sound artificial and burn credits fast.
Tip: for a conversation that sounds real, write the dialogue in Create a Text on Any Topic with Your Vocabulary (Dialogue genre) and paste the result here.
Note: listen to the audio before sending it to the class. Proper names, acronyms, and foreign words are what the synthetic voice gets wrong most — rewriting the word the way it sounds usually fixes it.
Cost in credits
1 credit per 50 characters, rounding up. In practice:
| Text size | Cost |
|---|---|
| 200 characters | 4 credits |
| 500 characters | 10 credits |
| 1,000 characters | 20 credits |
| 5,000 characters (maximum) | 100 credits |
