Two things that break Japanese narration

Kanji readings and pitch accent, not accent choice

Japanese has one standard register and two genuine ways for a read to go wrong.

The same kanji has several readings

A single character takes a native reading in one word and a Chinese-derived one in another, and names are worse: the same two characters can be Nakata or Nakada with nothing in the text to decide it. Engines pick by frequency and are wrong often enough on names, places and technical terms to matter. Writing the reading in kana beside the first occurrence solves it.

Pitch accent carries meaning, and it is unwritten

Hashi is a bridge or chopsticks depending on where the pitch falls, and nothing in the spelling marks it. A wrong pitch is not a wrong sound; it is a different word, and a Japanese listener hears it instantly even when the sentence still parses. Context usually saves the engine. Where it does not, the fix is to rephrase rather than to change voices.

How it works

Generating a Japanese voice over

Write it, test the names, set the register, export.

Step 1

Paste the script with its punctuation intact

Japanese sentence marks drive the phrasing, so a script stripped of them runs together. Keep the full stops and commas as typed rather than converting them to Latin ones.

Step 2

Check every name before anything else

Personal names, place names and company names are where kanji readings go wrong. Put them through the box at the top of this page first, and write the kana reading in the script for any that come out incorrectly.

Step 3

Match the register to the audience

Desu-masu for corporate and instructional material, plain form for casual video. The register is a property of the script, not of the voice, and a polite voice reading plain-form text does not make it polite.

Step 4

Export audio or a finished video

Download MP3 for podcasts, e-learning and announcements, or build visuals and Japanese subtitles here and export a 1080p MP4.
