Sample meaning: “Good morning, and welcome. Today we'll take a short walk through the old city.”
| Language | Voices (native) | Accents | Cloning | Sample | Tip |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| French (Français, fr) | 36 (6) | France, Canada | Yes | Bonjour et bienvenue. Aujourd'hui, nous allons faire une courte promenade dans la vieille ville. — 96 chars, 48 credits | Keep elisions and accents as written (l'homme, où vs ou): they change both meaning and liaison. Spell out abbreviations such as “M.” or “Mme” if you want them read in full. |
| Italian (Italiano, it) | 33 (3) | Italy | Yes | Buongiorno e benvenuti. Oggi faremo una breve passeggiata nella città vecchia. — 78 chars, 39 credits | Keep final accents (città, perché, è): “e” (and) and “è” (is) are different words, and the accent marks where the stress falls. |
| Dutch (Nederlands, nl) | 35 (5) | Netherlands | Yes | Goedemorgen en welkom. Vandaag maken we een korte wandeling door de oude stad. — 78 chars, 39 credits | Keep the diaeresis in words like “België” and “ideeën”: it marks a new syllable, and dropping it changes how the vowels are read. |
| Polish (Polski, pl) | 33 (3) | Poland | Yes | Dzień dobry i witamy. Dziś wybierzemy się na krótki spacer po starym mieście. — 77 chars, 38 credits | Type the full diacritics (ą, ę, ć, ł, ń, ó, ś, ź, ż). Text written without them — common in quick messages — is read as different sounds. |
| Ukrainian (Українська, uk) | 31 (1) | Ukraine | No | Доброго ранку і ласкаво просимо. Сьогодні ми здійснимо коротку прогулянку старим містом. — 88 chars, 44 credits | Use the Ukrainian letters і, ї, є and ґ rather than Russian look-alikes — a stray Russian “и” or “ы” changes the sound. |
| Romanian (Română, ro) | 31 (1) | Romania | No | Bună dimineața și bine ați venit. Astăzi vom face o scurtă plimbare prin orașul vechi. — 86 chars, 43 credits | Use the comma-below letters ș and ț, not the cedilla look-alikes ş and ţ that older keyboards produce, and keep ă, â and î. |
| Turkish (Türkçe, tr) | 31 (1) | Türkiye | Yes | Günaydın ve hoş geldiniz. Bugün eski şehirde kısa bir yürüyüş yapacağız. — 72 chars, 36 credits | Dotted and dotless i are different letters (i/İ and ı/I). Text that swaps them, as some systems do when changing case, is read with the wrong vowel. |
| Arabic (العربية, ar) | 36 (2) | Egypt, Saudi Arabia | Yes | صباح الخير وأهلاً بكم. سنقوم اليوم بجولة قصيرة في المدينة القديمة. — 66 chars, 33 credits | Arabic is usually written without short vowels, so some words can be read two ways. Add diacritics (tashkeel) to the words where the reading matters. |
| Hindi (हिन्दी, hi) | 38 (8) | India | Yes | सुप्रभात और आपका स्वागत है। आज हम पुराने शहर की एक छोटी सैर करेंगे। — 67 chars, 33 credits | Write Hindi in Devanagari for the most reliable pronunciation; romanized Hindi (“aap kaise hain”) is ambiguous because the same Latin letters stand for several sounds. |
| Bengali (বাংলা, bn) | 31 (1) | Bangladesh, India | No | সুপ্রভাত, স্বাগতম। আজ আমরা পুরোনো শহরে একটি ছোট্ট ভ্রমণে যাব। — 61 chars, 30 credits | Write numbers as Bengali words when a specific reading matters — dates, money and phone numbers are read differently in Bengali than digit by digit. |
| Marathi (मराठी, mr) | 30 (0) | India | No | सुप्रभात आणि आपले स्वागत आहे. आज आपण जुन्या शहरात थोडा फेरफटका मारणार आहोत. — 75 chars, 37 credits | Marathi shares the Devanagari script with Hindi, so choose Marathi in the language menu rather than leaving it on auto-detect. |
| Tamil (தமிழ், ta) | 31 (1) | India | No | காலை வணக்கம், வரவேற்கிறோம். இன்று நாம் பழைய நகரத்தில் ஒரு சிறிய நடைப்பயணம் செல்லப் போகிறோம். — 92 chars, 46 credits | Keep English loanwords in Tamil script if you want them said the Tamil way; Latin-script words inside Tamil text are read with English pronunciation. |
| Telugu (తెలుగు, te) | 30 (0) | India | No | శుభోదయం, స్వాగతం. ఈ రోజు మనం పాత నగరంలో ఒక చిన్న నడక చేయబోతున్నాం. — 66 chars, 33 credits | Short sentences with a full stop between them give the clearest phrasing; long Telugu sentences joined by commas are read as one breath. |
| Japanese (日本語, ja) | 38 (4) | Japan | Yes | おはようございます。ようこそ。今日は旧市街を少し散歩しましょう。 — 32 chars, 16 credits | Many kanji have several readings, and names especially can be read more than one way. Write a name in hiragana or katakana when it must be read a particular way. |
| Korean (한국어, ko) | 37 (4) | South Korea | Yes | 좋은 아침입니다. 환영합니다. 오늘은 구시가지를 잠시 산책해 보겠습니다. — 40 chars, 20 credits | Korean numbers have two sets of readings (native: 하나, 둘; Sino-Korean: 일, 이). Write the number as a word when the reading matters, such as ages or counts. |
| Chinese (中文, zh) | 10 (6) | China | Yes | 早上好，欢迎大家。今天我们将在老城区散散步。 — 22 chars, 11 credits | Some characters have more than one reading (多音字, such as 行 in 银行 and 行走). If a reading comes out wrong, rephrase with a word that pins it down. |
| Vietnamese (Tiếng Việt, vi) | 30 (0) | Vietnam | No | Chào buổi sáng và chào mừng các bạn. Hôm nay chúng ta sẽ đi dạo một chút quanh phố cổ. — 86 chars, 43 credits | Tone marks carry meaning: “ma”, “má”, “mà” and “mã” are different words. Text typed without them cannot be read correctly. |
| Thai (ไทย, th) | 30 (0) | Thailand | No | สวัสดีตอนเช้าและยินดีต้อนรับ วันนี้เราจะไปเดินเล่นสักพักในเมืองเก่ากัน — 70 chars, 35 credits | Thai writes words without spaces and uses a space where English uses a full stop, so put a space between sentences to get a pause. |
| Indonesian (Bahasa Indonesia, id) | 30 (0) | Indonesia | No | Selamat pagi dan selamat datang. Hari ini kita akan berjalan-jalan sebentar di kota tua. — 88 chars, 44 credits | Spell out chat abbreviations such as “yg”, “dgn” or “tdk” — they are read letter by letter, not as “yang”, “dengan” and “tidak”. |
