What Cantari is
Cantari is a text-to-speech studio that routes script-to-audio jobs through several voice engines, including Gemini Flash, Kokoro, Grok Voice, MAI Voice 2, and Zonos. It supports up to 30,000 characters per generation and is available on the web and Windows. The free plan includes unlimited Kokoro, about 10 premium minutes per month (10,000 characters), MP3 export, and Cantari Scribe for Windows. Creator costs $15 a month and adds all engines, about 10 hours per month (600,000 characters), and MP3 and WAV export. Studio costs $49 a month and lists about 30 hours (1,800,000 characters), audiobook studio, dubbing and translation, and MP3 and WAV export. The pricing page says each plan includes worldwide commercial use, no watermark, and ownership of generated audio. Other listed tools include speech-to-text and sound and music features. Voice cloning is marked as coming soon, and Cantari says there is no public API yet. The company describes the product as live and in active development, with a small engine roster and some planned features still ahead.
Good
- Routes generation across five listed voice engines.
- Supports up to 30,000 characters per generation.

Who it suits
Cantari may suit people creating speech audio from scripts who want a choice of listed voice engines and commercial-use rights. Its Windows dictation app may also interest users who want push-to-talk dictation into other apps.
Verdict
Cantari offers a free starting tier, paid plans with additional engines and audio options, and commercial-use rights across plans. Voice cloning and API access are not currently available, so users who need either should account for those omissions.
