Fish Audio Online: Generate Voice in the Browser, No Install

Most searches for Fish Audio online are really one question: do I have to install something? The answer here is no. The whole product runs in the browser — generate speech, clone a voice, transcribe audio, download files — and the only thing you need is a modern browser and a credit pack when you are ready to generate.

This page is the practical orientation: what the browser workspace covers, what stays out of it, and what the first five minutes look like.

What can you do in the browser?

The workspace covers the full generation loop:

• Text to speech. Paste a script, pick a voice from the library of more than 2,000,000 voices, and generate with emotion tags controlling delivery. The text to speech guide covers the details.
• Voice cloning. Upload a 15 second sample and build a reusable voice. The cloning guide covers recording a sample that survives real scripts.
• Speech to text. Transcribe audio with speaker separation and emotion tags.
• Downloads. Every generation is a file you can download and use in your editor; the workspace keeps your scripts so a fix is a re-generation, not a rebuild.

Sign-in is with Google, and the session keeps your credits, scripts and voices together across devices.

What do you not need?

A list worth stating because the market's defaults are noisy:

• No desktop app. The workspace is the product; there is no separate client that drifts out of date.
• No browser plugin or extension.
• No setup wizard, no project configuration, no export format decisions before your first generation.
• No subscription. Packs are one-time purchases and unused credits stay valid for 12 months (see the pricing page for what each pack includes).

What you do need: a stable connection and a modern browser. Generation happens on the platform's side, so an older laptop is fine; the browser is just the window.

What does the first five minutes look like?

1. Sign in with Google. One click, no form. This creates the account; it does not spend anything.
2. Browse voices. Listen first, sign nothing. Audition candidates on your own first sentence rather than a sample script.
3. Paste your script. Add emotion tags like [excited] or [pause] where the delivery changes.
4. Buy a pack when you are ready to generate. The $9 Starter includes 1,000 credits — about 1,000,000 characters of speech, or roughly 16 hours of finished audio.
5. Generate and download. Listen at normal speed for tone, double speed for pacing, then regenerate paragraphs instead of whole scripts when something changes.

Everything before step four — browsing, reading, auditioning — costs nothing. The what you get before paying page explains that boundary precisely.

Phone, tablet or desktop?

All three run the same workspace, with different ergonomics:

• Desktop. The comfortable default for scripts longer than a paragraph: bigger view, easier reviewing.
• Phone. Fine for generating and downloading on the go, and surprisingly usable for short-form work like a TikTok narration written in a notes app.
• Tablet. Splits the difference; the browser layout adapts.

Files download to the device like any other browser download, which means the audio moves wherever your editing happens.

When do you outgrow the browser?

Two signals: you want to generate inside your own product, or you want to batch without touching a UI. Both point at the API, which is part of the $99 Studio pack and serves the same engine the workspace runs. The API guide covers keys, credits and concurrency. Until then, the browser keeps the operation simple — which, for most projects, is the whole advantage of doing it online in the first place.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to download an app to use Fish Audio?

No. Everything runs in the browser: sign in with Google, pick a voice, paste your script and generate. There is no desktop app or plugin to install, and rendering works from a normal modern browser on desktop and mobile.

Is Fish Audio online free?

There is no free tier on this site. Browsing the voice library and reading the guides costs nothing, but every generation spends credits from a purchased pack, starting at $9 for 1,000 credits.

Does it work on a phone?

Yes. The workspace runs in a mobile browser, so you can generate on the go and download the audio file directly. For long scripts, a desktop browser is simply more comfortable for editing and reviewing takes.

Do I need to create an account?

You sign in with Google to use the workspace. Signing in creates your account; it does not add credits. Credits come from the packs on the pricing page, and they stay valid for 12 months.

Can I call the engine from my own product instead?

That is what the API is for. API access is part of the $99 Studio pack, and the API guide covers keys, credits and concurrency. The browser workspace and the API run the same engine.
