How do I convert Marathi text to speech?
Paste Marathi text into the tool at the top of this page. The voice list is already set to Marathi, so you just choose Aarohi or Manohar and press generate. Download the MP3 and use it wherever you like.
Marathi speakers outside Maharashtra keep their culture very much alive. Maharashtra Mandals in the Bay Area, New Jersey, Chicago, Houston, Toronto and London run Ganeshotsav, Diwali and Gudi Padwa events every year, and they need invitations, reminders and announcements. Parents want their US-born kids to hear Marathi stories. And creators in Pune and Mumbai make Marathi YouTube channels on cooking, history and personal finance.
Marathi example sentence
“नमस्कार! या रविवारी आमच्या गणेशोत्सवाला तुम्ही नक्की या.”
English: “Hello! Please be sure to come to our Ganesh festival this Sunday.”
Play it with Aarohi, then Manohar. Change the day and place, and you have a quick voice invitation for your mandal’s WhatsApp group.

Marathi or Hindi voice: does it matter?
It does. Marathi and Hindi both use Devanagari, so a Hindi voice can technically read Marathi text, but the pronunciation and rhythm will be off. Marathi has its own sounds, such as the retroflex ळ in words like शाळा (school), and its own stress patterns. Marathi listeners notice the difference quickly. For Marathi text, always choose Aarohi or Manohar. For Hindi content, use our Hindi voices.
A few more tips: write numbers in words when they matter (पाच वाजता, at five o’clock), end sentences with a full stop or the danda (।) so the voice pauses, and split long formal sentences into two. The anusvara and nukta marks matter too, so copy text from a reliable source rather than retyping it from a photo. If you write Marathi in English letters (“tumhi kase aahat”), convert it to Devanagari first, because the voice reads Latin letters as English.
How can a Marathi mandal use audio for a whole event?
Take a typical Ganeshotsav weekend run by a Marathi group in New Jersey or San Jose. Two weeks before, the committee sends a 20-second voice invitation read by Manohar to its WhatsApp groups. A week before, Aarohi reads a reminder about the potluck sign-up and parking. On the day, short clips announce the aarti time, the kids’ cultural program and the prasad line. Each clip is under a minute, which fits easily within one 2,000-character conversion.
Because everything is generated in the browser, a volunteer can make all of it on a phone in one evening, with no recording equipment and no quiet room. The same scripts can be reused next year with new dates. If the group also needs English versions for non-Marathi guests, generate them with a US English voice and post both together.
