Chichewa text to speech questions

Is Chichewa text to speech free?

You can sign up and try Polyvox free, but Chichewa is one of the languages on the Global plan. Global includes clips of up to 5,000 characters and MP3 downloads.

How many Chichewa voices are there?

Chichewa is read by your own cloned voice rather than a stock voice. Record about thirty seconds in any language and Polyvox speaks Chichewa in that voice.

Do I have to type in Chichewa?

No. You can type in Chichewa or write the script in English and let Polyvox translate it first, so you don't need a Chichewa keyboard to get Chichewa speech.

How natural does the Chichewa pronunciation sound?

Bantu noun-class prefixes change the start of almost every word depending on grammatical class. Polyvox tracks them correctly. Chichewa (Nyanja) is one of Malawi's official languages and belongs to the Bantu language family.

Can I download the Chichewa audio?

On paid plans, every clip downloads as an MP3 you can drop into a video editor, course, or ad. On the free plan you can play and share clips by link.

What's the difference between text to speech and voice cloning?

Text to speech turns written Chichewa into audio. With Polyvox the voice reading it can be a ready-made actor or a clone of your own voice, so the same tool covers both.
