Free Subtitle to Speech Guide: SRT → MP3/WAV

January 2026 | Written by Voicertool Team

Dubbing a video used to take hours of manual syncing. I've tested many tools, and most either break the timing or cost a fortune. Today, I'll show you how to use Voicertool's Subtitle-to-Speech (STS) to get perfectly synchronized voiceovers from an SRT file for free.

Upload your SRT (up to 5000 characters), pick a voice, and download MP3 or WAV files instantly. No registration, limits, or watermarks. Perfect for video editors, audiobooks, localization, podcasts, and more. Let's dive into the steps, tips, and real-world examples.

Advanced AI for Perfect Synchronization

STS analyzes SRT timestamps and generates audio that matches exactly (up to 5000 characters per file):

  • Perfect timing — syncs to subtitle duration
  • Emotional intonation based on context
  • Natural breathing pauses
  • Regional accents in 70+ languages

Tips for AI Dubbing: Pro Subtitle Examples

  • Long sentences? If a line exceeds subtitle timing, AI speeds up unnaturally. Solution: Shorten phrases or use "Speed up only" mode in Step 3 for better flow.
  • Emotional emphasis: "Welcome to Voicertool... the best free TTS!" — ellipses add drama and natural pauses.
  • Fast dialogue: "Upload SRT, select voice — get perfect MP3 timing!" — em dash (—) creates punchy rhythm.
  • Narration pauses: "Natural breathing... emotional depth... ready for video." — works like a pro script.
