MP3 Export
Overview
MP3 (MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3) is a compressed audio format ideal for sharing, storage, and general use. VozCraft generates MP3-compatible audio using the Web Audio API.Technical Specifications
Technical Note: VozCraft generates a WAV file but labels it as MP3 for browser compatibility. Most media players recognize and play this format correctly. For true MP3 compression, use third-party conversion tools.
File Characteristics
Filename Format:vozcraft-[timestamp].mp3
Example: vozcraft-1705349100000.mp3
Typical File Sizes (estimates based on text length):
| Text Length | Duration | Approximate Size |
|---|---|---|
| 100 characters | ~7 seconds | 150-200 KB |
| 500 characters | ~35 seconds | 750 KB - 1 MB |
| 1000 characters | ~70 seconds | 1.5 - 2 MB |
| 5000 characters | ~6 minutes | 7-10 MB |
File sizes vary based on audio complexity, silence periods, and the specific voice settings used (pitch, mood, speed).
When to Use MP3
- Best Use Cases
- Limitations
Sharing and Distribution:
- Email attachments
- Social media uploads
- Website embedding
- Mobile app integration

How to Export MP3
Generate Audio
Create your audio using the main generation interface, or locate an existing audio in your history panel.
Click MP3 Button
In the history item, click the green “MP3” button.Button appearance:
- Green/teal background
- Bold text
- Displays “MP3”
Wait for Generation
VozCraft processes your audio using the Web Audio API:
- Synthesis takes 1-5 seconds depending on text length
- No visual progress indicator (browser handles download)
- Longer texts take proportionally longer to process
WAV Export
Overview
WAV (Waveform Audio File Format) is an uncompressed audio format that preserves full audio quality. It’s the professional standard for audio editing and production.Technical Specifications

- Processing time: 1-5 seconds typical
Audio Generation Process
How VozCraft Creates Downloadable Audio
When you click MP3 or WAV export, VozCraft performs sophisticated audio synthesis:Calculate Duration
duration = text.length / (14 * effective_rate) secondsWhere:- 14 = average characters spoken per second at normal rate
- effective_rate = combined rate from speed, voice type, and mood
Generate Base Frequency
- Voice Type pitch (0.75 for Normal, 1.30 for High-pitched)
- Mood pitch (0.70 to 1.35 range)
- Normal + Neutral: 120 * 0.75 * 1.00 = 90 Hz
- High-pitched + Enthusiastic: 120 * 1.30 * 1.35 = 210.6 Hz
Add Frequency Variation
Apply Formant Filtering
- F1 (800 Hz): Relates to vowel openness
- F2 (2200 Hz): Relates to vowel frontness
- Both scale with pitch for natural sound
Create Amplitude Envelope
- Words divided into estimated syllables (length / 3)
- Each syllable has attack and decay
- Volume modulated by mood setting
- Simulates natural speech articulation
Add Breathiness/Noise
Processing Time: Audio generation typically takes 1-5 seconds, depending on text length. A 1000-character text (~70 seconds of audio) usually renders in under 3 seconds.

|---|---|---|---|
| 1 minute | ~1.3 MB | 2.6 MB | 2:1 |
| 5 minutes | ~6.5 MB | 13 MB | 2:1 |
| 10 minutes | ~13 MB | 26 MB | 2:1 |
