Sometimes when editing a video, many people like to use SpongeBob’s voice to make the video funny. It is not practical to ask Tom Kenny to do the voiceover for you. The best workaround would be to look for an efficient SpongeBob voice generator. There are different kinds of such tools. Some work to turn text to speech using SpongeBob voice, some can change your audio SpongeBob voice directly, and some provide a real-time change of voice for video/audio calls or live streaming.
The following sections talk about some of the most appreciated SpongeBob voice generators including online tools, mobile apps, and software that can serve the purposes pretty well.

- SpongeBob Voice Generator – Mobile Apps

SpongeBob Voice Generator – Text to Speech
The following is the list of web-based SpongeBob voice generator tools that support the text-to-speech method. This means that you can type your text in the input field, and the portal will convert it to speech using the type of character you choose, which is SpongeBob in this case.
1. FakeYou
FakeYou, which used to be called Vocodes, is an online tool that offers more than 2300 different voices including SpongeBob’s voice. You can start by picking a category, subcategory, and the type of voice that you want to have from the filtered ‘Voice’ list. Next, you can type your text and click ‘Speak’ to listen to how the generated voice sounds.
According to my test, the shortcoming of this tool is that it can sometimes take several minutes to convert the text to speech, and the audio is limited to 11 seconds. That means if you have a long text, you need to cut them off and convert it more than once.
All said and done, any audio that FakeYou generates is watermarked as the portal is still going through several modifications. Also, according to the terms, at the time of this writing, you cannot use FakeYou voices for commercial purposes.
2. Uberduck
Uberduck offers fewer options when it comes to funneling the voices. Also, the tool doesn’t even allow you to synthesize your audio without signing up.
Using Uberduck is pretty simple. All you need to do is:
- Use Google Chrome (recommended) to go to the official website.
- Click Text to Speech from the landing page.
- Pick a voice type from the Choose a voice list (SpongeBob SquarePants here).
- Choose your preferred character from the drop-down menu on the right.
- Enter the text that you want to convert to speech into the Enter text to synthesize field.
- Click Synthesize.
- Wait while Uberduck generates the SpongeBob voice out of the text you entered.
- Once done, click the Play/Pause button to listen to the voice.
- Download the audio to your PC if the generated audio is acceptable.
Note: You must purchase a paid subscription to use Uberduck’s voices for commercial purposes.
3. 15.ai
Unlike the SpongeBob voice generator portals discussed above, 15.ai even lets you choose an emotion for the vocals that you plan to generate. It is non-commercial freeware developed by an anonymous MIT researcher. 15.ai has a faster speed to convert text to speech than Fakeyou, but it also has a limit on the words you can type which is 200 characters.
To use 15.ai for the SpongeBob voice:
- Use Google Chrome (recommended) and go to the program’s official website.
- Choose SpongeBob SquarePants from the Source menu.
- Pick SpongeBob from the Character list.
- Select your preferred tone from the Emotion options.
- Type your text in the available input field.
- Click Generate to make 15.ai convert the text to speech.
- Playback and review the generated SpongeBob voice.
SpongeBob Voice Generator – Mobile Apps
Listed below are a few SpongeBob voice generator apps that you can install on your Android or iOS devices. Some of these are quite flexible as they are compatible with Windows and Mac computers as well.
4. Celebrity Voice Changer
Enjoying a 4.2-star rating from more than 11K users across the globe, Celebrity Voice Changer is a free app available for Android, iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac computers. Unlike web portals, Celebrity Voice Changer has a built-in camera that can record your expressions or anything else (using the rear camera of your smartphone) while mimicking your voice to sound like SpongeBob. However, while using the app, ensure that your phone/PC is connected to the Internet without which, the program may not communicate with the server to get the expected output.
Talking about the app itself, its database has more than 100 voices from various celebrities and can convert your voice to that of any famous personality of your choice using AI technology. The only downside that this program comes with is that it offers no option to enter your text to convert it to speech, and you must use your voice in real-time for generating the SpongeBob voice.

- Launch the app on your phone or computer (iPhone is used here for reference).
- Search SpongeBob using the Search box at the top of the interface.

You can install Voicer on both Android phones and iPhone/iPad. To use Voicer as a SpongeBob voice generator:

SpongeBob Voice Generator – Real-Time
The following apps work in real-time which means that they allow you to select a character (SpongeBob in this case), and speak into the microphone in your voice. For their part, the tools then modulate your vocals to make you sound like the chosen character. You can save these modulated voices to your device or integrate them into programs like Skype, Discord, etc.
Some of the PC programs suggested below work as a voice changer tool to produce SpongeBob vocal effects in both real-time and out of an already recorded audio file.
