6 native French voices
Lessons, explainers and announcements read by voices recorded in French, with natural liaisons and rhythm.
This French text to speech tool reads French text in 6 native MiniMax voices recorded in French, plus OpenAI and Gemini voices that also read French. Paste up to 4,000 characters, pick a voice from the French group, and download an MP3. It costs 1 credit per character, $0.06 to $0.10 per 1,000 characters.
Each voice was recorded in French, so pronunciation, rhythm and intonation sound local.
Narrators, hosts, calm and lively voices, for lessons, videos and announcements.
Brand names and English words inside the text are read naturally in context.
Up to 4,000 characters per clip, written the way it should be spoken.
With MiniMax selected, open the voice list and choose a voice under French.
Listen, adjust the speed if needed, and download the MP3.
Keep accents and apostrophes in the text; they guide pronunciation and elision. French typography puts a space before ? and !, and the voices handle either style.
For language learners, a slower speed such as 0.75× keeps liaisons audible without sounding unnatural.
MiniMax lists these 6 voices for French, in the order they appear in the voice picker:
OpenAI and Gemini voices also read French. They are useful when one presenter voice must speak both English and French versions of the same video.

New accounts get 5,000 free characters when you sign up, enough for several French clips. Then it costs $0.06 to $0.10 per 1,000 characters.
MiniMax does not label its French voices by region. For Canadian, Belgian or Swiss audiences, test the voices on your own script before committing.
Yes, for videos, podcasts, ads, courses and apps, within our terms and the usage policies of the model you used. Two rules matter most: do not present a synthetic voice as a real person's, and if you publish audio made with OpenAI voices, OpenAI asks you to tell listeners the voice is AI-generated. We cannot promise a voice is exclusive to you; other customers use the same voices.
5,000 free characters when you sign up; every French voice is available.
