Welsh synthetic voice

The first natural sounding Welsh language text-to-speech voices are available.

We developed these voices with text-to-speech software company IVONA, thanks to funding from the Welsh Government. These voices will make a real difference to blind and partially sighted Welsh speakers and learners. Because of the previous lack of a Welsh language 'voice' of the same standard, people who rely on screen reading software to use computers haven't been able to read websites, exchange emails or read or write documents in the Welsh language.

Listen to samples of the voices:

• Geraint - male synthetic voice - Welsh (MP3 file, 129KB)
• Gwyneth - female synthetic voice - Welsh (MP3 file, 145KB)
