What is Narakeet?
Narakeet turns text into speech and helps you create narrated videos. It offers 800+ voices across 100+ languages and accents, so you can pick a voice that fits your audience. You can try it in the browser without registering.
Beyond basic TTS, Narakeet can turn PowerPoint or Google Slides into videos with voiceover. This helps creators who want training or explainer videos fast.
How Narakeet works
The workflow is simple:
1. Paste or upload your script.
2. Pick a language and voice.
3. Adjust speed, pauses, and emphasis using SSML if you want more control.
4. Render and export your audio or video file.
A note on SSML: support varies by voice, so some tags work on certain voices and not others. If a word sounds off, you can try a different voice or adjust pronunciation with SSML.
Pricing and free usage
You can create 20 free text to voice files with no registration to test the basics. For paid use, Narakeet sells top up credits. For example, a $6 pack gives you 30 minutes at about $0.20 per minute. Credits do not expire and you pay only when you need more. There is no recurring subscription by default.
What I like about Narakeet
- Low friction: You can test voices in minutes. New users do not fight with complex editors.
- Large voice library: 800+ voices in 100+ languages and accents gives you coverage for most markets.
- Slide to video: Turning slides into narrated videos is useful for training or internal explainers.
- Top up model: The “buy credits when needed” approach suits small projects and occasional creators.
Limits you should know
- SSML depth varies: Not every voice supports every SSML tag. You may need to switch voices or adjust lines to get the delivery you want.
- Automation and APIs: Narakeet focuses on file creation. If you need live agents, real time voice, or deep workflow automation, you will likely add other tools. (You can still batch render and process captions, but it is not a call automation stack.)
- Advanced voice features: If you want voice cloning or fine grained emotion controls, you will compare with tools that specialize there. Third party reviews often point buyers to products like ElevenLabs, Murf, or Synthesia for those use cases.
When I still recommend Narakeet
- You need a clean, fast way to produce voiceovers for YouTube explainers, tutorials, or internal training.
- You want multilingual coverage without learning a complex DAW or animation suite.
- You like one off credits and do not want a monthly subscription.
If that is your use case, Narakeet is easy to adopt and easy to budget.
Pick superU AI if
You deal with business calls and high volume content. Our stack gives you very low latency voice (so calls and interactive flows feel natural), 100+ languages, batch rendering, captioning, and APIs that plug into your CRM and data tools. That means you can do both: production TTS for videos and real time voice agents for inbound or outbound calls in one place.
In practice, this matters when you need to:
- Close the loop: A customer hears a product demo video voiceover, clicks to call, and the same brand voice answers in real time.
- Automate at scale: Marketing or support wants thousands of renders and automated call follow ups without juggling five tools.
- Keep costs predictable: We optimize for per minute economics at scale, which helps when usage spikes.
If your team creates content and also wants voice agents on your phone lines or website, superU gives you one stack to run both. (That is why I reach for it first.)
How to choose between Narakeet and other TTS tools
Use this short test plan. It takes under an hour and removes guesswork.
1. Voice quality test Take a 120 word script with narration and dialogue. Render it on Narakeet and on one or two alternatives. Listen on speakers and headphones. Note clarity, breath, and pacing. If words sound off, try a second voice and add SSML pauses.
2. Control test Try speed ±5–10%, add short pauses after headings, and fix one tricky word with SSML. If a tag does not work on a voice, switch to another. Score how fast you got a clean read.
3. Workflow test Render one audio only file and one slide to video file. Export MP3 and MP4. If you plan tutorials, try the PowerPoint or Google Slides route.
4. Cost test Estimate minutes per week. If you produce occasionally, Narakeet’s top up credits are simple. If you expect large volumes, compare per minute or monthly rates across tools. Note if credits expire or renew. Narakeet credits do not expire.
5. Future needs Ask, “Do we need live agents or call automation in 3–6 months?” If yes, you will save time by choosing a platform that does both voiceovers and real time calling well.
Real use cases I see often
- YouTube explainers: Teams ship weekly videos with simple scripts and a consistent voice. Narakeet works here because you can render fast and keep tone steady across episodes.
- Internal training: HR or L&D turns slide decks into short narrated clips. No need for a studio or voice talent each time.
- Multilingual promos: Marketers produce the same 30 second spot in five languages. The large voice library helps keep brand consistency.
- Product walkthroughs: PMs render short voiceovers for UI tours, then update lines later as features change. TTS helps you avoid re-recording.
Conclusion
Narakeet is a solid, easy way to turn text into natural sounding audio and quick narrated videos. It shines for creators who want speed, multilingual coverage, and a no commitment credit model. If you only need voiceovers and light video workflows, it will serve you well. If your roadmap includes live voice agents, CRM connected automation, and high volume rendering, superU AI will save you time and tool sprawl. I start with superU because it handles both content and calls in one place, so teams can publish faster and convert more traffic with the same brand voice.
