About the Portuguese language
Portuguese is the official language of Brazil, Portugal, Angola, Mozambique and five other countries. Brazilian Portuguese is open and melodic, while European Portuguese sounds more closed, with reduced vowels.
Portuguese is spoken by about 265 million people and belongs to the Indo-European, Romance language family. On Speechma you can choose from 84 Portuguese voices: 6 HD voices, 15 standard voices, 60 styled voices and 3 natural voices. Every voice has its own page with a real sample, so you can compare them before you start.
Which Portuguese voice should you choose?
- For videos, audiobooks and ads: start with the 6 HD voices, such as Adam Portuguese HD and Elliot Portuguese HD. They have the richest, most natural sound.
- For long documents, lessons and phone messages: the 15 standard voices, such as Andrew Portuguese and Ava Portuguese, stay clear and consistent over long texts.
- For a specific character: the 60 styled voices are each made for one job, from commercial, audiobook, explainer, corporate and asmr. Try Ana Rocha and Beatriz.
- For casual, conversational content: the 3 natural voices, such as Alex Cardoso and Dora Ramos, talk rather than read.
- For a local audience: pick a voice from your listeners' country. Portuguese voices here cover 2 accents.
