It has already been replaced by a scam?
Thanks for reporting this. This should not happen — OfflineTTS is a browser-based local AI tool and does not use any malware or redirect ads. I’ll investigate the domain and scripts immediately. Could you share the URL/screenshot of the popup if possible?
I got a few automatic redirections and then a bet site.
Just try it yourself from a private sesion in the browser.

Thanks for reporting this. This is definitely not expected — there should be no redirects or gambling ads on OfflineTTS. I’ll investigate and fix it immediately. Appreciate you catching this.
Is it fixed? Postmortem?
Yes, it should be fixed now. The issue was caused by a third-party script that was triggering unexpected redirects for some visitors. I’ve removed it and verified that the site is no longer redirecting. Thanks again for reporting it.
My suggestion is to wait a week, make a deep analysis of the problem to avoid repeating it and post again.
Tried it, mp3 export works nicely, and the voice is decent for something fully local. Also word-level timestamps to sync subtitles would be convenient as well. Any chance of adding that?
