WAV is the master format
Most free TTS tools export low-bitrate MP3, enough for web playback, but the compression strips frequencies your DAW needs during post-production. FreeTextoSpeech outputs lossless WAV at 24 kHz, 16-bit mono. Full headroom for EQ, compression, de-essing, and mastering without layering artefacts on top of artefacts.

Many networks require WAV masters, keep the lossless original, derive MP3/AAC for distribution.
Audiobook production
ACX and similar platforms require WAV or high-quality source files, start clean, master to spec.
Archival masters
Store the lossless original, derive lossy formats later as needed, the standard archival approach.

FAQ
Text To Wav FAQs
01 What sample rate does FreeTextoSpeech use?
24 kHz, which is higher than podcast broadcast standard (22.05 kHz) and ideal for voice applications. No resampling needed before importing into Audacity, Reaper, Premiere, or Logic.
02 Is the WAV mono or stereo?
Mono, which matches standard speech-audio workflows. If you need stereo, duplicate the track in your DAW and pan the copies.
03 Will the WAV file be lossless?
Yes. WAV is an uncompressed container, so the file contains exactly the neural model output with no quality loss.
04 How large is a typical WAV file?
Roughly 1.4 MB per minute of audio at 24 kHz, 16-bit mono. A 5,000-character request produces around 3–5 minutes of audio depending on speed.
05 Can I use WAV files in professional audio production?
Yes. WAV is the standard master format for broadcast, post-production, and archival audio work. Every DAW accepts WAV natively.
