Japanese Text to Speech
自然な日本語音声、無料。Built for Japanese creators, anime channels, and language learners.
Five Japanese voices
FreeTextoSpeech offers five Japanese voices powered by the Kokoro neural model: four female (Alpha, Gongitsune, Nezumi, Tebukuro) and one male (Kumo). They read kanji, hiragana, and katakana natively, and use standard Tokyo pitch accent for delivery that sounds natural to native listeners.
When to pick which voice
- Alpha (F): grounded, narrator-style, best for documentary, education, and serious explainer content.
- Gongitsune (F): warm, storyteller delivery, best for fiction, audiobook samples, and bedtime-story style narration.
- Nezumi (F): brighter, lighter female, best for character voiceover and anime-style narration.
- Tebukuro (F): playful tone, best for casual content, vlogs, and entertainment.
- Kumo (M): clear male voice, best for masculine narration and educational content.

For light, character-style female delivery, try Nezumi or Tebukuro. For a more grounded narrator voice, Alpha or Gongitsune work well. Kumo provides a male option for masculine character narration. Preview each on the home page before committing.
05 Does the engine handle pitch accent correctly?
The Kokoro Japanese voices model standard Tokyo pitch accent (標準語). For most narration, the result sounds natural to native listeners. Highly specialized regional dialects are not currently supported.
