A voice made from an English recording can read your text in Spanish, Hindi or Japanese, and a Russian narrator can voice the same video in German.\n\nThis guide lists the supported languages, explains how to choose the language for a text, and gives tips for the most requested ones. Chinese is not supported yet.","sections":[{"heading":"How one voice speaks 31 languages","paragraphs":["A voice in Supertonic 3 describes how someone sounds, not which language they speak. The language is chosen for each text with a language code, so the same voice file works for all 31 languages. The accent of the original recording can still be heard a little, which suits characters and is barely noticeable in narrators.","Try it on the page of any voice: pick the language next to the text field, type a phrase of 30 to 100 characters and press Voice it. On your computer, the SuperClonica engine takes the code with --lang, for example superclonica --text \"Hola, ¿qué tal?\" --voice voice.json --lang es --output hola.wav."]},{"heading":"English text to speech","paragraphs":["Code en. English is the most common language of the catalog voices: narrators, game and film characters, announcers. Numbers, dates and units are read as words; write abbreviations the way they should be pronounced."]},{"heading":"Spanish text to speech","paragraphs":["Code es. Write accents and the opening ¿ and ¡ marks: they help the model with stress and intonation. Every voice can read Spanish, including characters recorded in English."]},{"heading":"Portuguese text to speech","paragraphs":["Code pt. Keep the diacritics (ã, ç, é) in the text. The model reads one Portuguese; Brazilian or European wording is up to your text."]},{"heading":"German text to speech","paragraphs":["Code de. Long compound words are read correctly as they are; write umlauts and ß, not ae or ss, for the best pronunciation."]},{"heading":"French text to speech","paragraphs":["Code fr. Keep accents and the apostrophes of elision (l’, d’, j’): they change how words are linked when spoken."]},{"heading":"Russian and Ukrainian text to speech","paragraphs":["Codes ru and uk. Write in Cyrillic. In Russian, write ё where it belongs; stress marks are not needed. Numbers are read as words in both languages."]},{"heading":"Japanese text to speech","paragraphs":["Code ja. Write in the usual mix of kanji and kana; for an unusual reading of a name, write it in kana. Japanese suits anime and game characters: many of them can say a line in the original language."]},{"heading":"Korean text to speech","paragraphs":["Code ko. Write in Hangul with normal spacing between words; the spacing helps the model with rhythm."]},{"heading":"Hindi text to speech","paragraphs":["Code hi. Write in Devanagari script: the model is made for it, while Hindi written in Latin letters may be read less accurately. Every voice in the catalog can read Hindi."]},{"heading":"Arabic text to speech","paragraphs":["Code ar. Write in Arabic script; vowel marks on ambiguous words may help the model choose the right reading."]},{"heading":"Turkish, Indonesian and Vietnamese text to speech","paragraphs":["Codes tr, id and vi. Keep the special letters and tone marks of each language (ç, ğ, ş, ı in Turkish; the tone marks in Vietnamese): without them words are read differently."]},{"heading":"Italian, Polish and other European languages","paragraphs":["Codes it, pl, nl, sv, da, fi, cs, sk, sl, hr, hu, ro, bg, el, et, lv and lt. Write each language with its own letters and diacritics; Greek and Bulgarian in their own alphabets."]},{"heading":"Numbers and dates in every language","paragraphs":["The SuperClonica engine spells numbers out as words in 27 of the 31 languages, so 2026 or 150 is read naturally. Grammatical cases are not added: where a language needs a special form, such as an ordinal, write it in words. The engine option numbers=False passes digits to the model as they are."]}],"faq":[{"question":"Which languages does Supertonic 3 support?","answer":"English, Korean, Japanese, Arabic, Bulgarian, Czech, Danish, German, Greek, Spanish, Estonian, Finnish, French, Hindi, Croatian, Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian, Lithuanian, Latvian, Dutch, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Slovak, Slovenian, Swedish, Turkish, Ukrainian and Vietnamese: 31 in total. Chinese is not supported yet."},{"question":"Does every voice speak every language?","answer":"Yes. A voice describes the sound, and the language is chosen for each text, so every catalog voice can read all 31 languages."},{"question":"Can I hear a voice in my language before buying it?","answer":"Yes. On the page of any voice, choose your language, type a phrase of 30 to 100 characters and voice it for free."},{"question":"Is there Chinese text to speech?","answer":"Not yet: Supertonic 3 does not
