SAM TTS

SAM TTS is a free, browser-based text-to-speech tool that brings back the nostalgic robotic voices of the early 2000s. Built around Microsoft's SAPI4 engine, it faithfully recreates the iconic sounds of Microsoft SAM, Mary, Mike, and the beloved BonziBUDDY purple gorilla — voices that defined a generation of Windows XP computing.

Our mission is simple: preserve a charming corner of computing history and make it accessible to everyone for free. Whether you remember laughing at "soi soi soi" memes, hearing BonziBUDDY announce "HEY I'M USING YOUR COMPUTER," or just had a Windows XP machine that would read text aloud in that distinctive monotone cadence, SAM TTS is for you.

We're an AI tools company focused on retro and accessible technology. Our team shares their work across multiple platforms — you can follow our audio experiments on our podcast channel, discover our creative projects on Seed & Spark, and explore our 3D model designs on Cults3D. Our development team also maintains a developer blog on Dev.to where we write about text-to-speech technology, retro computing, and AI voice synthesis.

SAM TTS runs entirely in the browser with no installation required, no accounts needed. Just type your text, choose a voice, and hear it come to life with that unmistakable vintage robotic tone. We support all the classic SAPI4 voices and continually add new features to the free text-to-speech tool that made generations of internet users smile.

Based in the United States, our small team is passionate about accessibility, nostalgia, and making AI-powered voice tools available to everyone — from content creators and meme enthusiasts to developers and educators.
