None of these voices were made from Chinese recordings. They are multilingual voices that read Mandarin Chinese: Hannah reads the sample, and the other cards play each voice reading the same Chinese line.

Tips for natural Chinese text to speech

Write in Simplified characters (简体), as used in mainland China and Singapore, or Traditional characters (繁體), as used in Taiwan and Hong Kong, and keep one system throughout. Some characters have more than one reading: 行 is xíng in 行走 and háng in 银行, and 重 is zhòng in 重要 and chóng in 重新. The voice works out the reading from the surrounding words, so if one comes out wrong, rephrase or use a synonym.

Use full-width punctuation (,。?!) so the voice pauses where you expect. Years are normally read digit by digit (二〇二四年), amounts as whole numbers, and 2 can be 二 or 两 depending on what follows. If a number must sound a certain way, write it in Chinese characters.

What people make with Chinese text to speech

Chinese text to speech is used for YouTube and TikTok narration, lessons for Mandarin learners, product explainers, presentations, and 生日祝福 voice messages for friends and family.

Voices AI reads, it does not translate

Voices AI reads Chinese text aloud; it does not translate. Translate an English script into Chinese first, in the character set your audience reads, then paste it in. Machine translation can pick words that look fine but sound stiff when spoken, so have a native speaker check important scripts.

FAQ

Is Chinese text to speech free?

Voices AI is free to download, and you can listen to the Chinese sample on this page. Generating audio uses the credits or subscription in your account, so check the app for current plans.

Does it speak Cantonese?

No. The voices speak Mandarin. Text in Traditional characters or with Cantonese words is still read with Mandarin pronunciation, so it will not sound like Cantonese.

How do I fix a character that is read the wrong way?

Characters like 行 and 重 have more than one reading, so the voice depends on context. Rephrase the sentence or use a synonym, then generate the line again.

Can it translate English into Chinese?

No. Text to speech reads the text as written. Translate your script into Chinese first, then generate the audio.

Can I download the Chinese audio?

Yes. Download the generated audio and use it in your video editor, presentation, or messages.
