German text to speech questions

Is German text to speech free?

Yes. The free plan includes 12 clips of up to 350 characters each, and German is one of the included languages. Paid plans raise the limit to 5,000 characters per clip and add MP3 downloads.

How many German voices are there?

17 ready-made voice actors can read German, and every one has a sample you can play before generating anything. You can also clone your own voice and use it for German.

Do I have to type in Deutsch?

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

How natural does the German pronunciation sound?

Long compound nouns and Swiss/Austrian variants. Polyvox produces standard High German by default. German is famous for compound words. Your cloned voice paces them naturally instead of robotically.

Can I download the German 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 German 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.
