Converting the characters does not convert the vocabulary

This is where most mainland scripts give themselves away in Taiwan.

The same idea, a different word

Taiwan writes 軟體 where the mainland writes 软件 for software, 影片 rather than 视频 for video, 網路 rather than 网络 for network. A character conversion turns Simplified into Traditional and leaves all of that untouched, so the text looks right and reads as foreign. Checking the technology and business vocabulary is what makes a script Taiwanese.

Taiwan learns pronunciation through Bopomofo

Schools in Taiwan teach reading with Zhuyin, the Bopomofo symbols, rather than with Pinyin, and a handful of standard pronunciations differ from the mainland as a result. The accent is softer on the retroflex sounds too, which is the first thing a listener notices.

How it works

Producing a Taiwan Mandarin voice over

Use Traditional characters, fix the vocabulary, check the names, export.

Step 1

Write in Traditional characters

They are the standard in Taiwan for everything published, and they are what these voices are matched to.

Step 2

Replace the mainland vocabulary

Technology, business and everyday terms are where the two standards diverge most. A converted script keeps the mainland words unless they are changed deliberately.

Step 3

Write figures in characters where they matter

Chinese groups numbers in units of ten thousand, so an important figure written in characters removes any question about how it is read.

Step 4

Download the audio or the finished film

Take MP3 for a podcast or an announcement, or build visuals and subtitles here and export a 1080p MP4.

Taiwanese Mandarin FAQ

Taiwan voices, answered

Traditional characters, vocabulary, Taiwanese Hokkien, cost and rights.

Yes. Mandarin is the official language and the medium of education, government and broadcasting, spoken with a softer treatment of the retroflex sounds than on the mainland. Taiwanese Hokkien and Hakka are widely spoken alongside it, particularly in the south and among older generations, and most published material is in Mandarin.

Not on its own. Conversion changes the characters and leaves the vocabulary as it was, so a script still says 软件 rendered as 軟體-equivalent characters for the wrong word, or uses 视频 where Taiwan says 影片. Technology and business terms are where it shows most, and they need changing deliberately rather than automatically.

The retroflex initials are softer, some tone and neutral-tone conventions differ, and a set of individual words has a different standard reading from the mainland. Schools teach reading through Bopomofo rather than Pinyin, which is part of why those standards diverged.

It is understood completely and placed immediately, in the same way a British voice is placed in the United States. For documentation that may not matter; for advertising, product launches and anything meant to feel local, the Taiwan read is what belongs.

There is a free plan that renews monthly and asks for no card, and every voice on this page can be heard before you sign up. MP3 exports on the free plan carry no watermark, video exports do. Paid plans lift the length limits and add WAV plus commercial rights.

Yes, on a paid plan. Audio generated on a paid plan is royalty free and cleared for advertising, client work, YouTube monetisation, documentation and phone systems. Video exported on the free plan keeps a small Fliki watermark.
