edge-TTS-record is a Windows-based tool that records speech synthesized by the Microsoft Edge browser’s online TTS voices and saves the result as .wav audio files. The idea is simple but effective: since Edge’s online TTS voices (such as “Xiaoxiao” or “Yunyang” for Chinese) are often high-quality, this tool provides a way to “capture” them offline for later use. Users can type or paste text, preview the speech, and then trigger the recorder; the system automatically captures the audio output from the browser and writes it to a WAV file. The tool includes a small GUI (built with Aardio) and aims to be plug-and-play — after downloading the .exe you can immediately start using it without deep configuration. It is cloud-based in the sense that it relies on Edge’s online TTS service, so internet connection is required; but once recorded, the audio is local.
