I'm a solo dev from India building affordable AI tools for Indian users.
Last week I realized there's no free browser-based TTS that supports Hindi. Every solution either:
- Charges $20+/mo (unaffordable for most Indians)
- Doesn't support Hindi/Hinglish at all
- Requires API keys and backend setup
So I built one.
How it works
Uses the Web Speech API built into Chrome, Edge, and Firefox. No server needed. No signup. Just type and hear.
Try it: voiceaisaas.fun
Tech Stack
- Frontend: Vanilla HTML/CSS/JS (single page)
- TTS: Browser Web Speech API (Synthesis)
- Backend: Python Flask for payments
- Payments: UPI (Indian payment system)
Key Features
| Feature | Details |
|---|---|
| Languages | Hindi, English, Hinglish |
| Free tier | 2 uses, no signup |
| Lifetime deal | 500 credits for ₹49 |
| Payment | UPI (yog-1496@ptaxis) |
The real challenge
Getting people to actually pay for an indie product in India is hard. Everyone expects free. So I made the demo completely free and only charge for bulk usage.
UPI: yog-1496@ptaxis — no international fees, no credit card needed.
Built in India 🇮🇳 — No funding, just code.
