Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Speecher.org

Can Speecher read mixed Hiragana, Katakana, and Kanji text aloud?
Yes — paste any combination of hiragana (ひらがな), katakana (カタカナ), and kanji (漢字). Voices automatically read kanji with the correct reading based on context.
Are male and female Japanese voices available?
Yes — both genders are available across browser, Google, and AWS Polly voice options. Microsoft Edge usually has the most variety.
Does it handle Japanese pitch accent for natural prosody?
Modern neural voices (Microsoft Online, Google, Polly Neural) model Japanese pitch accent well. Older robotic voices may flatten it.
Can I download Japanese audio as MP3?
Yes — for Google and AWS Polly voices, use the MP3 button. Browser voices play in real time only.
