“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
In German-speaking Switzerland, people speak dialect, or Mundart, but write Standard German. Swiss Standard German is that written language read aloud with a Swiss accent and Swiss words, and it is what news readers, teachers and announcements use. Choose it for audiences in Zurich, Bern, Basel or Lucerne, where a voice from Germany sounds like an outsider.
Spelling and vocabulary carry the local flavour, and the missing ß is only the start. Many everyday words come from French or are purely Swiss: Velo for bicycle, Trottoir for pavement, Billett for ticket, Spital for hospital, parkieren for to park and Glace for ice cream.
Numbers and names need a check. Swiss texts often group thousands with an apostrophe, as in 12'000, and put a point before the Rappen in prices. Swiss speakers also tend to stress the first syllable of loanwords such as Büro. With four national languages, names like Neuchâtel, Genève or Bellinzona may need a fixed reading in 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.
You can, but results vary. Mundart has no fixed spelling, so one writer types Chuchichäschtli and another Chuchichästli. These voices are made for Swiss Standard German with a Swiss accent. Write in Standard German, add a dialect greeting such as Grüezi if you like, and preview every line.
For a Swiss audience, use a Swiss German voice. Listeners accept Standard German from Germany on television, but a local accent and words like Velo or Billett make a brand sound Swiss. If the ad also runs in Germany and Austria, make separate versions.
