Speech Generation launched a free text-to-speech service supporting 18 languages, according to a Show HN post submitted by author littlepp on August 25, 2026.

The tool is available at speechgeneration.net and is positioned as a no-cost offering. Beyond the language count and the free pricing model, the Show HN post provides no additional detail on supported voices, output formats, usage limits, or API access.

The submission had one point and no comments at the time of indexing, per the Hacker News listing. No information about the company's founding date, team size, prior funding, or headquarters is available from the source.

The text-to-speech market includes established players such as Google Cloud Text-to-Speech, Amazon Polly, Microsoft Azure Cognitive Services, and ElevenLabs, as well as a number of smaller free-tier tools. The sources do not mention competitors or describe how Speech Generation differentiates from existing services.

No forward-looking information — such as planned language additions, voice customization features, or commercial pricing tiers — appears in the source material.
