“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
Italian writes an accent only when the stress falls on the last vowel, as in città, però and caffè. Leaving it out changes the word: è is is and e is and, là is there and la is the, dà is gives and da is from. Perché and benché take an acute é; most other final accents are grave.
Double consonants are real sounds in Italian, held a little longer than single ones. Pala is a shovel and palla a ball; nono is ninth and nonno grandfather. One typo changes both meaning and rhythm. Some words share a spelling but not a stress, such as àncora (anchor) and ancóra (again). If a voice picks the wrong one, rephrase or set the reading in the pronunciation dictionary.
Use a comma for decimals (4,5) and a point for thousands (25.000). Dates go day first, as in 2 giugno, with the month in lower case. For register, Lei is right for banks, clinics and public offices, tu suits most ads and apps, and voi addresses a whole audience. English words such as weekend or smart working are common in Italian scripts; preview them.

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.
No. The voices speak standard Italian, the neutral pronunciation of national television and language courses, rather than a Roman, Neapolitan or Milanese accent. That makes them suitable for listeners all over Italy. If your script includes dialect words or local place names, preview those lines, since the voice reads them with standard Italian sounds.
It depends on who is listening. Lei, with third person verbs, is the polite form for banking, healthcare, insurance and public services. Tu is now normal in consumer ads, apps and social clips. Voi works when you speak to a group, as in a museum guide or a store announcement. Choose one and keep it throughout.
