# Text to speech for creators and teams

Turn your written words into spoken audio with Exemplary AI. You write or paste your script, pick a voice from the library by language and accent, and hear every word spoken as written.

## Hear what the voices can do

Listen to the samples on this page to hear how different voices and settings work across languages and accents. Calm narrator is in American English and suits longer readings, showing plain narration paired with a delivery note that shapes the mood without being read aloud. Clear explainer shares a practical tip, showing a British voice with a Southern English accent, the standard speech of southern England, alongside a delivery note.

Lively storyteller is in Castilian Spanish and demonstrates how an expression like a sigh is performed in the audio rather than spoken as a word, while also using a delivery note. Two voices in conversation brings a Host and a Guest together in one American English recording, with each line spoken in its own voice.

- [Calm narrator](https://exemplary.ai/tts-audio/hub-76e60e834024.mp3): I took that woodland trail again this afternoon, right through the oaks and maples. If you just slow down and look up at the canopy, all the leaves are turning gold and amber, quietly drifting down to the forest floor. (Delivery note: calm and warm)
- [Clear explainer, Southern English](https://exemplary.ai/tts-audio/hub-44337f40b742.mp3): Right, before you start painting that wooden frame, just give it a quick wipe with a dry cloth to get the dust off. Then put on a thin coat with nice steady strokes, and leave it to dry in a warm, airy room. (Delivery note: measured and friendly)
- [Lively storyteller, Castilian Spanish](https://exemplary.ai/tts-audio/hub-799fa6b51ee3.mp3): Por fin hemos llegado a la cabaña, justo en lo alto de la loma. La verdad, cuando miras el valle con este sol de la tarde, toda la subida hasta aquí merece la pena. (Delivery note: warm and lively) (In English: We finally made it up to the cabin, right at the top of the ridge. Honestly, when you look out over the valley with this afternoon sun, the whole hike up here is worth it.)
- [Two voices in conversation](https://exemplary.ai/tts-audio/hub-399b824572c7.mp3): Host: The kitchen smells amazing already. What are we baking this afternoon? / Guest: We're doing a rustic apple tart, lots of cinnamon and a flaky butter crust. / Host: Oh, that's so good for a chilly day like today. What kind of apples did you grab for the filling? / Guest: Just firm, tart ones - they hold their shape in the oven and really balance out the sweet pastry.

## What you can make with spoken audio

If you are making videos, training modules, museum guides, or spoken articles for a broad North American audience or for learners studying American English, you can pick a General American voice. This accent carries few regional marks, is widely used in national broadcasting, and is close to the speech of the Midwest and the West.

When your project calls for a different region, you can browse the voice library for options like a Southern English accent. You can also build dialogues with two voices sharing one conversation for language lessons or podcast segments. Every finished audio file comes with a transcript that you can export as subtitles.

## Writing an English script for spoken audio

English uses the Latin alphabet, and American and British conventions differ in spelling and how items are read out. Match your spelling to the voice you choose, such as color and center for a General American voice or colour and centre for a Southern English voice. Since every word is spoken as written, write out numbers, dates, and titles in the phrasing that matches your dialect. In American style, place the month before the day as words, such as October fifth, while British style commonly places the day first, such as the fifth of October.

In General American scripts, write out US state abbreviations such as CA or NY as California or New York, and spell out US customary units like ft. and lbs. as feet and pounds. Expand ambiguous English abbreviations like St. and Dr. into Saint or Street, and Doctor or Drive, and write currency symbols as full words like dollars. Use standard dictionary spelling for French or Spanish loanwords, and keep the usual spelling for personal names rather than inventing phonetic spellings. If a line needs a change after you listen, edit just that line and make it again, while the rest of your audio stays as it was.

## Questions

### How do I add a laugh or a sigh to a line?

You can place an expression such as a sigh in your text, and it is performed rather than read out as a word. You can also add a short delivery note to a line, such as calm or cheerful, which shapes how the line is read and is never spoken aloud.

### What happens if I change one line in my script?

When you edit a single line, only that line is made again and the rest of the audio stays as it was. Your finished audio also comes with a transcript that you can export as subtitles, and the audio file is marked as AI-generated.

### How should I write abbreviations and dates in an English script?

Write abbreviations, dates, and symbols out as full words that match your chosen English dialect. Because every word is spoken as written, expanding St. to Saint or Street, Dr. to Doctor or Drive, and writing October fifth or the fifth of October gives you the exact phrasing you want.

### Can I choose between different English accents?

Yes, the accent comes from the voice you choose in the voice library. You can select a General American voice, which is widely used in national broadcasting, or pick a regional option such as a Southern English voice.

### Should I change the spelling of English words to guide the reading?

No, always use standard English spelling for your script, including for loanwords, and keep the usual spelling for personal names. If you want to shape the mood and manner of a line, add a short delivery note to that line instead of altering how words are spelled.
