“In the biggest languages, the voices sound nearly human.”

“…an impressive natural-like array of voices and great customer support.”
Review on Capterra , 27 September 2022
Inuktitut is written in two ways, and this page has voices for both. Most of Nunavut and Nunavik in northern Quebec use syllabics, where each symbol stands for a syllable and its direction shows the vowel: ᐱ is pi, ᐳ is pu and ᐸ is pa. Labrador Inuit write with Roman letters, which also appear beside syllabics in Nunavut. Match the voice to the script you type.
In syllabics, a small raised symbol is a consonant with no vowel, like the final ᑦ in ᓄᓇᕗᑦ, Nunavut. A dot above a symbol makes the vowel long, so ᐋ is aa. In Roman spelling, long vowels and double consonants are written twice, as in ullaakkut, good morning. Leave out a dot or a doubled letter and the word can change, so copy names from a trusted source.
Inuktitut builds long words from many parts, so one word can carry a whole English sentence. Keep those words whole and do not split them with hyphens. Dialects differ between communities: thank you is qujannamiik in much of Nunavut and nakurmiik in Nunavik. Write for one region, and add any name that is read wrongly to the pronunciation dictionary.

Preview the line first. If a number, date or abbreviation comes out wrong, write it the way it should be spoken, or add it to the pronunciation dictionary, which is on every plan. One entry fixes that word across the whole project.
Use the script your listeners read. Syllabics are standard in most of Nunavut and in Nunavik, while Inuit in Labrador write in Roman letters. Many readers in Nunavut know both. Pick a voice for the same script as your text, keep one script through the whole recording, and preview a few lines before you rely on it.
They are related. Both are forms of the Inuit language, and in Nunavut they are grouped together under the name Inuktut. Inuinnaqtun is spoken mainly in the western Kitikmeot region, in places such as Cambridge Bay and Kugluktuk, and is written in Roman letters. Words and sounds differ, so have an Inuinnaqtun speaker check any script written for that audience.
