Dialect and accent FAQ

What is the difference between a dialect voice and an accent voice?

An accent voice speaks one language, such as English or Spanish, with regional pronunciation. A dialect voice, such as Cantonese or Northeastern Mandarin, also changes rhythm and sometimes vocabulary. For dialects, the words you write matter as much as the voice you choose.

Are the voices perfect?

They are neural voices and sound natural in most cases, but regional speech is hard to model. Preview a short passage first, and rewrite words that sound off.

Why is a voice missing or different from what I expected?

Voice availability comes from the underlying speech service and can change. The page checks which voices exist and hides the ones that do not.

Can I download the audio?

Yes. Generate speech, then use the download button for an MP3. For subtitles use the subtitle generator, and for several speakers use the dialogue generator.
