A Node.js library that provides text-to-speech by shelling out to platform-native TTS engines (macOS `say`, Windows SAPI, Linux Festival). It supports speaking text aloud, stopping playback, selecting voices and speed, and exporting audio to WAV files.
Use cases
- make my node.js app speak text out loud
- convert text to speech in a node script
- play spoken notifications through the speakers
- export text-to-speech audio to a wav file
- use system voices for tts in javascript
- add voice announcements to a cli tool
When to choose
- you need simple TTS in Node.js using built-in OS voices without cloud APIs
- you want offline text-to-speech on macOS, Windows, or Linux
- you need to export spoken audio to a WAV file on macOS or Windows
When to avoid
- you need high-quality neural voices or cloud TTS
- you need WAV export on Linux
- you need a browser or non-Node.js runtime
- you need active development or guaranteed future maintenance
