Italian text to speech

Paste your script with its accents and apostrophes intact and hear it read with natural Italian rhythm. If neither fits, describe the speaker you need and design one.

About Italian in Voxmint
The two Italian voices sit at opposite ends of the register. Giulia speaks clear Standard Italian in a smooth, velvety voice and narrates at a gentle, flowing pace, the way an audiobook reader sets a scene. Marco is from Milan: crisp, brisk and confident, like someone presenting quarterly results to a room. Between them they cover storytelling and business.
Italian is largely spoken as it is written, which makes a clean script the most important thing you can give the voice. Double consonants change words, so “pala” and “palla” must be spelled exactly. Accents mark both stress and meaning, as in “e” (and) versus “è” (is), and elisions like “l’amico” and “un’ora” need their apostrophes. Check that all of these survived copy and paste from your document.
Punctuation sets the rhythm. A comma gives a short breath and a full stop a longer pause. Italian prose often chains clause after clause with commas; for audio, turn some of them into full stops and the voice sounds more natural and assured. Write percentages, currencies, dates and abbreviations out in words wherever you hear them read the wrong way, and respell English brand names the way you want them pronounced.
Decide between tu and Lei before you pick a voice. Marco’s sample addresses a room with “vi presento”, the natural choice for presentations, while Giulia suits a narrative voice or a warm, personal tu. A boardroom voice reading a fairy tale feels as odd as a storyteller reading a spreadsheet, so match the voice to the message.
For a longer project such as an audiobook, generate one section, listen all the way through and note any names or numbers to fix, then apply the same fixes to the rest. If you need another speaker, such as a lively Neapolitan, a Roman or a Sicilian voice, describe them in the studio and keep the take that sounds right.
Design a Italian voice
Describe the voice you want, for example:
A cheerful young woman from Naples in her late twenties with a bright, expressive voice and a quick, lively pace, like a host showing viewers around her favourite food market.
Voice design creates a new voice from that description, no recording needed.

Questions
- Which voice should I use for a company video?
- Marco, whose confident, professional delivery is made for business content. For a gentler, friendlier video, try your opening paragraph with Giulia as well.
- Can Voxmint read an Italian audiobook?
- Yes. Giulia is designed for narration. Generate the book a chapter at a time and listen to each section before assembling the whole thing.
- Do I need to type accents and apostrophes?
- Yes. Accents change stress and sometimes meaning, and apostrophes mark elisions like “l’acqua”, so keep them exactly as you would write them.
- Can I get a regional accent, such as Roman or Neapolitan?
- The ready-made voices speak Standard Italian and Milanese Italian. You can describe another regional speaker in the studio, but accents without a ready-made voice vary more between takes, so compare a few before choosing.
- How do I make numbers and amounts read correctly?
- Write them in words the way you want them spoken, for example “il quindici marzo” or “venti euro”, wherever the figure could be read more than one way.
- Can I make my own Italian voice?
- Yes. Describe the voice you want in a sentence, its age, accent, mood and pace, and voice design creates it for your Italian script. Save the description to your library to reuse it, or pick a catalogue voice when you need exactly the same speaker every time.
