Chinese speech synthesis for production voice apps
Chinese is spoken by more than 1.1 billion people across China, Taiwan, Singapore, 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 Chinese speakers expect, and text that mixes Chinese with English spoken in one voice.
Soniox TTS generates Chinese 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 Chinese, you can clone your own voice, mix languages in one sentence, and get character-level timestamps.
