Most Somali projects start in English
Translating and voicing separately is where the timing falls apart.
Aid material, health information, school content and diaspora media are usually drafted in English and then carried into Somali. Here the English script, the Somali translation, the voice and the subtitles live in the same project, so the timing is matched once and stays matched.
The Latin alphabet adopted for Somali maps closely to the sounds, so written Somali is read more predictably than most languages on this site. The double vowels matter, because they mark length and change meaning, and the c and x stand for sounds English has no letters for. That is why somali text to speech is more predictable than most languages on this site, and why the voices here handle it well once the spelling is right.
How it works
Start in either language, test a line, check the spelling, export.
If the source is English, translate inside the project rather than pasting a translation in, so the script and the timing stay attached to each other.
Put a sentence with a name, a place and a number into the box at the top of this page. That line tells you what the rest of the script will sound like.
Length carries meaning in Somali, and the letters c and x stand for sounds English spells no way at all. Text typed on a phone keyboard is worth a quick check for both.
Download MP3 for radio, a podcast or a helpline, or add visuals and Somali subtitles and export a 1080p MP4 from the same script.
