Korean Text to Speech

Type or paste any Korean (한국어) text, pick a voice, and generate speech instantly. Whether you're creating Korean voiceovers for YouTube and TikTok, narrating audiobooks, building e-learning courses, or making content accessible, you get an MP3 you own. Note that we do not yet have a voice trained on Korean; the engine reads it with a voice trained on other languages, so expect an accent.

There's nothing to install. Korean is not covered by our free engines, so generations are billed with credits — which never expire — and include a commercial license.

Hangul is a genuinely well-designed writing system and maps to sounds far more predictably than English does — but the mapping is not literal. Korean applies assimilation rules at syllable boundaries, so the final consonant of one block changes the first sound of the next: 한국말 is written han-guk-mal and said han-gung-mal. An engine that reads the letters without applying these rules sounds distinctly robotic to a Korean listener, and this is the first thing to listen for.

Register is the other consideration, and it is a writing problem rather than a synthesis one. Korean encodes formality in verb endings, and the difference between 합니다 and 해요 and 해 is the difference between addressing a boardroom, a customer and a friend. The engine will read whichever you wrote, faithfully — so the level has to be right in your script. Numbers are worth checking too, since Korean uses two counting systems and the choice depends on what is being counted.

Spacing is the other thing to get right. Korean word spacing follows rules that many writers apply loosely, and the engine uses those spaces to decide where phrases begin and end. Text that has been run together, or broken in the wrong places, produces a reading with the pauses in odd positions — worth a glance before generating anything long.
