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 and Universal voice options. Microsoft Edge usually has the most variety.
Does it handle Japanese pitch accent for natural prosody?
Modern neural voices (Microsoft Online, Universal) model Japanese pitch accent well. Older robotic voices may flatten it.
Can I download Japanese audio as MP3?
Yes — for Universal voices, use the MP3 button. Browser voices play in real time only.
How do I turn text into speech?
Paste or type your text in the box above and press play — Speecher reads it aloud with natural AI voices. It is free, runs in your browser, and you can download the result as an MP3.
Does Speecher.org have an on-screen keyboard for Japanese?
Yes. On the Speak page, click the keyboard button next to the Karaoke toggle and the Japanese keyboard opens below the text box. You can type with your mouse or finger without switching your device's layout. Speecher's on-screen keyboard supports 29 languages — including Cyrillic, Arabic, Chinese (pinyin and cangjie), Hangul and kana — and on phones it doesn't cover the screen with the system keyboard.
Can I dictate Japanese text by voice?
Yes. Speecher's Speech-to-Text turns your spoken Japanese into editable text: open the Speech-to-Text section and tap the microphone. In Google Chrome the words are recognized in real time as you speak, and it also works in other modern browsers. Over 40 dictation languages are supported.
