How to Get Natural Japanese Text to Speech
15 Japanese voices to preview
The voice library opens filtered to Japanese, from everyday voices such as Calm Lady and Dependable Woman to character voices such as Loyal Knight and Cold Queen. Every voice has a sample.
Help the voice with tricky readings
Many kanji have more than one reading, and names are the hardest. If a word comes out wrong, write it in hiragana or katakana and generate again.
Use Japanese punctuation for pauses
Commas (、) and full stops (。) give the voice natural places to pause. Short sentences read more naturally than long ones.
Turn the audio into a talking video
When the Japanese audio sounds right, send it to the talking avatar tool and pair it with a photo. The voice is already in place.
