About the Italian language
Italian is the official language of Italy, San Marino and Switzerland (with German, French and Romansh). It is known for its musical rhythm, open vowels and double consonants that are held longer.
Italian is spoken by about 68 million people and belongs to the Indo-European, Romance language family. On Speechma you can choose from 82 Italian voices: 6 HD voices, 14 standard voices, 60 styled voices and 2 natural voices. Every voice has its own page with a real sample, so you can compare them before you start.
Which Italian voice should you choose?
- For videos, audiobooks and ads: start with the 6 HD voices, such as Adam Italian HD and Elliot Italian HD. They have the richest, most natural sound.
- For long documents, lessons and phone messages: the 14 standard voices, such as Andrew Italian and Ava Italian, stay clear and consistent over long texts.
- For a specific character: the 60 styled voices are each made for one job, from documentary, character, e-learning, motivational and spoken word. Try Alessandro and Alessandro De Luca.
- For casual, conversational content: the 2 natural voices, such as Nicola and Sara Ferrara, talk rather than read.
