Shrinking.

Over two years, visits went from 17M in November 2024 to a high of 31M in January 2025, and stand at 18M in October 2026. Five sites take 83% of visits, so one ranking change at the top moves the whole line.

Miles explains

I only call a market growing when visits and name searches agree. Here visits are down and name searches are down, so they agree.

“ai text to speech” is searched about 40,500 times a month worldwide, 30% of it in the US.

Google Trends barely registered “ai text to speech” until December 2022; interest then climbed to its peak in May 2026. Americans make 30% of the searches but only 7.8% of the visits, because the big sites also draw heavily from India, United Kingdom and Canada.

Miles explains

Google Trends shows direction, not volume. Interest is lower than a year ago, and I only trust that when the visits move the same way.

Fewer visits than a year ago, fewer people searching by name, and the next six months look like a slide.

The fastest growers over the year, Speechma, Listnr and RecCloud, grew fastest, mostly from a smaller base. The losers, led by FineVoice, lost most of their search visits (-82%).

VEED -27%

Miles explains

Huge percentages like Speechma’s +151% usually mean one site won a big Google ranking from a small start. I watch whether it holds the next month.

I expect November 2026 to be about the same as October 2026, and the next six months to look down.

The forecast carries the level of recent months forward, not the trend line, because that version missed least when tested on past months. November is usually a quieter month than average for searches, but the calendar did not improve the forecast, so it is left out.

Expected in November 2026

Miles explains

Read the range, not the single number: tested on the last 6 months, my method landed inside its range 2 times.

The most visited is Reception by ElevenLabs, with 7 million visits a month, 39% of all visits.

Reception by ElevenLabs and Fiverr together hold 57% of all visits. Below the top five the market is long and thin: the other 17 sites share 17%.

Miles explains

Reception by ElevenLabs alone has 39% of all visits. That’s a big lead, but one Google update can close it fast.
