Animalese TTS

This is a fully client-side TTS (Text-to-Speech) engine that simulates the iconic "Animalese" voice from Animal Crossing: New Horizons. It works by combining individual audio samples—each representing a letter of the alphabet—to recreate phrases and sentences based on the text input by the user.

All audio samples have been ripped directly from the game, preserving the authentic vocal texture and rhythm found in the original Animalese voices. This makes the experience as accurate and faithful to the game as possible.

⚠️ From September 9, 2025 the live demo has been closed due to issues related to voice-synthesizing. The live demo caused issues such as skipping letters and cache problems, forcing you to clear your browser cache to see updates. We encourage you to download the workspace and try it by yourself.

✅ Free, game-accurate, and with unlimited usage — there are no character limits and no usage restrictions.

🎤 How It Works

• When you type a sentence in the textbox and hit Say!, the script reads the text one letter at a time.
• Each letter is mapped to a corresponding .aac audio clip that mimics the way characters talk in Animal Crossing.
• These sounds are played sequentially with a short delay between letters and a slightly longer pause between words.

The system is lightweight, fast, and doesn't require any server or API. It runs entirely in the browser.

🎭 Voice Personalities

The TTS system includes multiple voice variations, each based on a personality type found in the game. These include:

• Sweet – soft, d a little deep
• Peppy – fast-paced, excited, and cheerful
• Big Sister – mature, calm, and slightly deeper
• Snooty – elegant, posh, and sharp

Each voice personality corresponds to a different folder of audio clips, giving a unique tone and delivery to the same input text.

You can change the voice by selecting from the dropdown menu above the input box. The choice of personality affects which set of letter sounds is used when speaking.
