Eight Mandarin voices
FreeTextoSpeech offers eight Mandarin Chinese voices powered by the Kokoro neural model: four female (Xiaobei, Xiaoni, Xiaoxiao, Xiaoyi) and four male (Yunjian, Yunxi, Yunxia, Yunyang). They handle simplified and traditional characters natively and produce accurate tones for standard Putonghua.
When to pick which voice
- Xiaoxiao (F): warm, conversational, the most popular general-purpose female voice.
- Xiaoyi (F): brighter, lighter female delivery, best for lifestyle and product content.
- Xiaobei / Xiaoni (F): additional female options with subtle tonal variation.
- Yunyang (M): clear, news-style male voice, best for educational and explainer content.
- Yunjian (M): neutral male delivery, best for documentary and corporate narration.
- Yunxi (M): lighter male tone, best for casual and lifestyle content.
- Yunxia (M): deeper male voice, best for ads, trailers, and announcements.

Mandarin-language faceless YouTube channels and short-form creators rely on TTS to scale their content production. FreeTextoSpeech removes the cost barrier and the signup friction.
