What is Lazybird?
Lazybird is an AI voiceover generator that converts written scripts into speech you can download. Users paste or import a script, which is split automatically into text blocks (large documents become sections), pick one of more than 200 voices, test a short passage, adjust the voice or pacing and then generate the full recording. Text to speech is available in over 100 languages. Paid plans add voice cloning, so a narrator's own voice can be reused across projects, along with commercial usage rights and unlimited downloads. Outputs mentioned on the site include training and course narration, product walkthroughs, tutorials, audiobook chapters, podcasts and phone system messages. A text-to-speech API lets developers generate audio from their own applications, and character-style voices are offered for parody and entertainment clips. A free plan with monthly credits can be started without a credit card.
