Arabic speech synthesis for production voice apps

Arabic is spoken by more than 422 million people across Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Algeria, Sudan, Iraq, Morocco, Yemen, and beyond. If your voice agent, IVR, or narration product speaks to them, text-to-speech has to get the details right: phone numbers and codes read exactly as written, names pronounced the way Arabic speakers expect, and text that mixes Arabic with English spoken in one voice.

Soniox TTS generates Arabic speech over a real-time WebSocket, starting audio from the first few words, or with a single REST request, through one multilingual API built for 60+ languages. Every voice speaks Arabic, you can clone your own voice, mix languages in one sentence, and get character-level timestamps.

Hear the same voice deliver natural, expressive speech in Arabic and across 60+ languages with consistent quality, identity, and pronunciation.

Hallucination-free Arabic speech generation
