About the Korean language
Korean is the official language of South Korea and North Korea. It is written in Hangul, an alphabet created in the 15th century in which letters are grouped into syllable blocks. Speech levels show respect for the listener.
Korean is spoken by about 81 million people and belongs to the Koreanic language family. On Speechma you can choose from 79 Korean voices: 6 HD voices, 13 standard voices and 60 styled voices. Every voice has its own page with a real sample, so you can compare them before you start.
Which Korean voice should you choose?
- For videos, audiobooks and ads: start with the 6 HD voices, such as Adam Korean HD and Elliot Korean HD. They have the richest, most natural sound.
- For long documents, lessons and phone messages: the 13 standard voices, such as Andrew Korean and Ava Korean, stay clear and consistent over long texts.
- For a specific character: the 60 styled voices are each made for one job, from cooking show, fitness coach, asmr, kids and bedtime story. Try Arin and Bora.
