How to Have Your Fave Read Text Aloud — Free, No Recording

If you want text read aloud in your fave's voice, AITOMO's browser version is the easiest way. No recording, no editing: pick a character, send your text, and it comes back read aloud in your fave's voice (VOICEVOX or UltraVoice) — free to start. "I want to hear this line read in my fave's voice" — this article explains how, together with the steps and costs. The same steps work if what you want is to make your fave speak words of your choice (an "oshi voice").

TL;DR

• Bottom line: no recording or editing needed. Open AITOMO in your browser, pick a character, send the text you want read aloud, and the reply comes back in your fave's voice
• A voice message runs about 14pt (6pt for text-only). The 500pt you get at sign-up (+300pt with notifications on) is enough to try it first
• There are three ways to get an "oshi voice": (1) read aloud with a ready-made character voice (VOICEVOX or UltraVoice), (2) create an original voice with voice cloning, or (3) use general-purpose read-aloud software
• Voice cloning costs 50pt per creation. Even on the Free plan you can create up to 5 voices in total and keep 5 of them for 60 days (Premium Plus: 30 voices, 180 days)

Three ways to hear or create an AI fave voice

1. Read aloud with character voices (easiest) AITOMO offers VOICEVOX characters such as Zundamon, Shikoku Metan, and Kasukabe Tsumugi, plus UltraVoice, a high-quality voice engine that supports all languages. Just send text and it is read aloud in your fave's voice — no recording, no setup. You can keep chatting, too.

2. Read aloud with a cloned voice AITOMO's voice replication feature lets you upload an audio file (mp3/m4a/wav) and use that voice for an AI character. Create an original voice from a sample of your fave's voice and use it for read-alouds. Each creation costs 50pt, and how many voices you can create and keep depends on your plan (see the table below).

Plan	Creations	Voices you can keep	Retention
Free	Up to 5 in total	5	60 days
Premium Light	—	10	90 days
Premium	—	20	120 days
Premium Plus	—	30	180 days

Rights and consent

To replicate the voice of a real person, you must hold the rights to that audio and have the person's consent. Cloning without permission infringes those rights — use your own voice, or audio you have permission to use.

3. Use general read-aloud software Free TTS tools such as VOICEVOX and Ondoku are also an option. They require installation and configuration on a PC, though, and only do read-alouds. If you want full conversations with your fave, a chat-style service is a better fit.

How to have your fave read text aloud in AITOMO

1. Open AITOMO in your browser — no app download needed. Choose "Chat in your browser" on the AITOMO homepage to start right away.
2. Pick a character and voice — choose from VOICEVOX characters, UltraVoice voices, or a voice you created with voice cloning.
3. Send the text you want read aloud — a single line or a longer message works fine.
4. Listen in your fave's voice — neural speech synthesis reproduces breaths and intonation for a lifelike read.

See it on screen: AITOMO's read-alouds and voices in action

Let's look at what AITOMO actually looks like. These are captures from the browser version (web app) — no download needed; it runs right in a PC or smartphone browser.

Home: choosing a character and voice

This is the home screen right after logging in. Candidate characters line up as cards, and each card can play the character's greeting on the spot (the waveform play bar). Choosing who to talk to after hearing their voice is what makes voice-first AITOMO special.

Chat: send text, get a reply in your fave's voice

This is the chat screen. Send the text you want read aloud, and the character responds by voice. Every message comes with its own play button, so you can replay a favorite line in your fave's voice as many times as you like. The menu on the left also leads to conversation mode switching and clone-voice creation.

Clone voices: create an original voice from a 10–30 second recording

This is the voice cloning (clone voice) creation screen. Record or upload 10–30 seconds of audio and an original voice is created (creation costs 50pt; it is refunded automatically on failure). Assign the finished voice to a character and use it for read-alouds right away.

Tips for making a great clone voice

Clone-voice quality tracks the quality of the source audio sample almost one to one. AITOMO's creation screen advises:

• Use 10–30 seconds of speech recorded in a quiet environment, spoken clearly (anything under 10 seconds is judged too short)
• Supported formats are wav, mp3, and m4a. The browser version records audio directly — keep it within 60 seconds even at the longest
• What you say is up to you, but reading that shows your usual way of speaking and the range of your voice reproduces most faithfully

Creation costs 50pt, but the points are refunded automatically if it fails. We recommend creating one voice first, checking how it sounds, and then building from there.

What else you can do

• Sleep calls and morning calls — let your fave's voice lull you to sleep and wake you up
• Four conversation modes — Real conversation, Light-novel style, RPG, and Japanese learning (RPG and Japanese learning cost 0pt per chat message)
• AI image generation — save scenes from your chats as images (image generation guide)

Cost guide

AITOMO is free to play at its core: new accounts get 500pt (plus another 300pt with notifications on). Read-alouds (voice chat) run about 14pt per voice message (6pt for text-only), and with some voice engines a message costs just 10pt. Clone-voice creation is 50pt per voice. You can also top up points by watching ads, claiming daily bonuses, or playing the daily gacha (twice a day). See the getting started guide and the pricing page for details.

FAQ

Q. Can I try it for free? Yes. The browser version is ready right after sign-up, and the 500pt you get at registration is enough for a good few tens of minutes of voice chat.

Q. What voices are available? VOICEVOX characters for Japanese (Zundamon and more), UltraVoice for other languages, and voice cloning when you want a custom voice — pick whichever fits your use. The credits page is a handy reference for the full speaker list.

Q. What exactly can "fave voice AI" create? Voice cloning builds an original, AI-modeled voice from audio you recorded yourself or have permission to use. You cannot clone the voice of a real oshi or celebrity without authorization (see the rights and consent note above). If a ready-made character voice is enough for you, VOICEVOX character read-alouds are the easiest option.

Q. What are the rules for using VOICEVOX character voices? Under VOICEVOX's terms of use, content made with generated audio must carry a credit stating that VOICEVOX was used, and each voice library (character) sets its own individual conditions. Playing and enjoying the voices inside AITOMO is fine as is, and the per-speaker credits are listed on the credits page. If you plan to record the audio and publish it outside the app, please check each library's terms yourself.

Q. Is this the same as having my fave speak custom lines? Yes. Your fave responds by voice to whatever text you send, so read-alouds and "make them say my favorite words" are the same operation. And because it is a chat, you can keep the conversation going right after a line request.

Q. Can it read a whole text in one go? Since you send text in conversation form and your fave responds by voice, longer passages such as part of a novel or a letter can be read out in sequence. An internet connection is required (it does not work offline).
