“In the biggest languages, the voices sound nearly human.”
Review on Capterra , 1 December 2022
“…an impressive natural-like array of voices and great customer support.”
Review on Capterra , 27 September 2022
Write in Simplified characters and use full-width Chinese punctuation: ，for a short break, 、 between list items, and 。 to end a sentence. An English comma inside a Chinese line is easy to miss, so check for one. For a longer breath before a price or a call to action, add a pause in the editor.
Some characters change their reading with the word around them. 行 is xíng in 不行 but háng in 银行, and 长 is cháng in 长城 but zhǎng in 校长. Play every line that holds one of these. If a reading is wrong, add that word to the pronunciation dictionary and your fix holds wherever it appears in the project.
Mainland ads and product videos often drop English straight into a Chinese sentence: a brand, a model name, or letters such as App and VIP. Keep them in Latin letters, the way viewers see them on screen, and preview each one. Where a product has a well-known Chinese name, try that version too.
