Jimlet is a free, offline text-to-speech converter designed for Windows users. It allows you to convert text into natural-sounding speech without the need for an internet connection or subscription. The software runs locally on your computer, making it accessible and reliable for all types of text conversion tasks. Whether you're converting short paragraphs or large volumes of text, Jimlet provides a simple and efficient solution.
With no usage limits and support for standard computers without a dedicated GPU, Jimlet is ideal for anyone looking to generate audio files from text. The program supports common audio formats such as WAV, MP3, and OGG. You can easily drag and drop text files into the application, and the converted files will be saved in the same directory as the original text files, making it easy to manage and access your results.
To use Jimlet, simply download the ZIP file and extract it to any folder. Launch the application by clicking on jimlet.exe. Add text files by dragging and dropping them into the program window or using the "Open" button. Once added, click "Convert" to generate audio files. The output files are automatically saved in the same folder as the original text files with appropriate extensions like .wav or .mp3.
Note: The program works with plain text files only. Files in other formats, such as Word documents, must be saved as plain text before they can be used with Jimlet.
Jimlet offers a variety of voice options, including 5 male and 5 female English voices. Users can change the voice and adjust the speech rate through the Settings tab. Below are samples of the same text spoken with different voices at a 0.9 speech rate:
| Male 1 | Female 1 | ||
| Male 2 | Female 2 | ||
| Male 3 | Female 3 | ||
| Male 4 | Female 4 | ||
