Fish Audio - AI Tools Nav

What it is for

Fish Audio is a hosted voice studio: paste text, pick or clone a voice, and generate speech (plus Voice Design and an API). Use it when the job is a cloned voiceover with a monthly credit pool, not when you need a meeting bot.

It is not open source. Free exists ($0). Plus is the first public paid card.

What makes it unique: the cover is Fish Audio’s signed-out Text to Speech studio — voice/model panel, Choose a voice, and Generate Speech — not a mascot poster.

Key features

Text to Speech — paste a script, pick a voice/model, and generate speech in the studio (TTS, guide).
Voice cloning — build a voice from a short reference clip, then speak new lines in that voice (Creating models).
Voice Design — describe an original character voice in plain language when you do not have a clone (Voice Design).
Emotion and expression tags — steer laughs, sighs, pauses, and tone inside the generated line (Emotions).
Voice Changer — run existing audio through a different voice instead of typing a new script (Voice Changer).
Speech to Text — transcribe a clip with speaker turns and emotion cues (Speech to Text).

Who it's for

Best fit: creators who will spend credits on a cloned voice and stay in the hosted studio.

Poor fit: people who need a meeting transcript (Fathom) or a stem split (LALAL.AI).
