About Turkish in Voxmint
Elif is a young woman from Istanbul with a clear, warm voice and lively, friendly energy, made for ads, promos and assistant-style lines. Emre is in his early forties, with a deep, resonant voice and composed, confident authority, like the narrator of a documentary about the Bosphorus at dusk. Between them they cover most selling and most explaining.
Turkish is written almost exactly as it is spoken, so a correctly spelled script does most of the work. Keep every special letter: ç, ğ, ı, İ, ö, ş and ü. Text that has lost them, such as “gunaydin” for “günaydın”, is a different string of sounds, and the voice can only read what is there. If you copy text from a source that stripped the accents, restore them before generating.
Watch the two i’s in particular. Turkish has a dotted i (i, İ) and a dotless ı (ı, I), and they are different vowels: “sık” and “sik” are not the same word. Tools set to English often uppercase i to I and lowercase I to i, which silently changes the vowel, so check headlines and all-caps text, or write them in normal case. The soft ğ lengthens the vowel before it, and ş and ç are “sh” and “ch”; leaving them as s and c changes the word.
Write numbers, percentages and dates as you want them said, for example “yüzde yirmi indirim”, as in Elif’s sample, rather than %20. Foreign names and English product terms are worth a short test; if one sounds wrong, respell it the way a Turkish reader would say it. Turkish words can grow long with suffixes, so split heavy sentences and let commas mark the breaths.
Casting comes down to tone. Use Elif where you want warmth and energy, and Emre where you want trust and calm. For another speaker, such as an older narrator or an Anatolian accent, describe the voice in the studio and compare a few takes.
Design a Turkish voice
Describe the voice you want, for example:
A kind Turkish grandmother in her seventies with a soft, slightly husky voice and an unhurried pace, like someone telling a folk tale by the fire.
Voice design creates a new voice from that description, no recording needed.

Questions
- Can I use the same voice across a whole series?
- Yes. Elif and Emre are catalogue voices, so each one sounds like the same speaker in every clip, which keeps a course, a podcast or a run of social videos consistent from start to finish.
- Which Turkish accent do the voices use?
- Both use an Istanbul accent, the standard most listeners associate with broadcast Turkish. Elif is female and Emre is male.
- Do I need the special Turkish letters?
- Yes. Write ç, ğ, ı, İ, ö, ş and ü wherever they belong. Without them words change, and the voice reads exactly the letters you give it.
- Why does a capitalised word sound wrong?
- Check the i’s. In Turkish the capital of i is İ and the capital of ı is I. Text uppercased with English rules swaps the vowels, so fix the letters or write the line in normal case.
- Can the voices read long articles?
- Yes. For long texts, generate in sections, listen to each one and fix any problems as you go, so a change only means regenerating one part.
- Can I make my own Turkish voice?
- Yes. Describe the voice you want in a sentence, its age, accent, mood and pace, and voice design creates it for your Turkish script. Save the description to your library to reuse it, or pick Elif or Emre when you need exactly the same speaker every time.
- Is it free to try?
- Yes. You can listen to both Turkish voices and try your own script for free; signing up takes a minute.
