Convert from English to Yoda speak. Yoda often orders sentences as Object-Subject-Verb, split verbs, switches entire phrases and sometimes uses sentences that are different from his normal syntax! Because of this it is difficult to accurately represent his sentence structure. But we tried hard and we constantly improve our patterns. Have fun and may the force be with you! Learn how to talk like Yoda - just type or paste in a bunch of text and use the 'Convert to Yoda-Speak' button. Try it with jokes, emails, song lyrics, card messages, whatever!

Talk Like Yoda
Tips:
- Please don't just try 'Hello.' Nothing will change. Yoda won't answer back, he'll just repeat. It's not the same thing as a conversation.
- In the Star Wars movies, Yoda speaks short sentences for a reason. If the result is total garbage, that could be why!
- Make sure you use proper english grammar and punctuation, our little green friend can't read your mind. 'Don't', instead of 'Dont', and so on.
- The exception is this: You should use extra punctuation if a sentence contains more than one clause, often split with 'and', 'or', etc. For example: 'Put your hands up and step away from the turnip.' should be 'Put your hands up, and step away from the turnip.' or 'Put your hands up. Step away from the turnip.'
- If using commas and full stops in currencies or initialisms, do not use spaces.
- The use of parenthesis is not yet recommended, though I will work on them.
- If there are issues and a sentence is not yoda-fied as you think it should, it could also be because I haven't yet included all the words I need to in the search formulas. If I spot a dodgy result, I'll get around to working on it. :)
This web app allows you to generate voice audio from text - no login needed, and it's completely free! It uses your browser's built-in voice synthesis technology, and so the voices will differ depending on the browser that you're using. You can download the audio as a file, but note that the downloaded voices may be different to your browser's voices because they are downloaded from an external text-to-speech server.
Want more voices? You can download the generated audio and then use voicechanger.io to add effects to the voice. For example, you can make the voice sound more robotic, or like a giant ogre, or an evil demon. You can even use it to reverse the generated audio, randomly distort the speed of the voice throughout the audio, add a scary ghost effect, or add an 'anonymous hacker' effect to it.
Note: If the list of available text-to-speech voices is small, or all the voices sound the same, then you may need to install text-to-speech voices on your device. Many operating systems (including some versions of Android, for example) only come with one voice by default, and the others need to be downloaded in your device's settings. If you don't know how to install more voices, and you can't find a tutorial online, you can try downloading the audio with the download button instead. As mentioned above, the downloaded audio uses external voices which may be different to your device's local ones.
You're free to use the generated voices for any purpose - no attribution needed. You could use this website as a free voice over generator for narrating your videos in cases where don't want to use your real voice. Download mac os el capitan app store. You can also adjust the pitch of the voice to make it sound younger/older, and you can even adjust the rate/speed of the generated speech, so you can create a fast-talking high-pitched chipmunk voice if you want to.
Note: If you have offline-compatible voices installed on your device (check your system Text-To-Speech settings), then this web app works offline! Find the 'add to homescreen' or 'install' button in your browser to add a shortcut to this app in your home screen. And note that if you don't have an internet connection, or if for some reason the voice audio download isn't working for you, you can also use a recording app that records your devices 'internal' or 'system' sound.
