Why use native German voices

  • 01

    A native accent

    Each voice was recorded in German, so pronunciation, rhythm and intonation sound local.

  • 02

    Characters and presenters

    Narrators, hosts, calm and lively voices, for lessons, videos and announcements.

  • 03

    Mixed text

    Brand names and English words inside the text are read naturally in context.

Tips for German text to speech

Write umlauts and ß, not ae, oe or ss; the voices pronounce them correctly. Long compound words read well, but abbreviations such as z. B. or bzw. sound better written out.

MiniMax has fewer German voices than Spanish or Japanese, so the OpenAI and Gemini voices are worth testing too: they widen the choice, particularly for a calm, neutral presenter.

German text to speech FAQ

Is German text to speech free here?

New accounts get 5,000 free characters when you sign up, enough to try every German voice. After that it costs $0.06 to $0.10 per 1,000 characters.

Does it read numbers and dates in German?

Usually yes, in context. For prices, times and dates that must be exact, write them out, for example neunzehn Euro neunundneunzig.

Can I use German voices for a training course?

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.
