# German text to speech for creators and teams

Write or paste a German script in Exemplary AI, pick a voice from the library, and generate spoken audio that reads every word as written. You can shape the mood of each line or pair two voices in a single conversation.

## Hear our German (Germany) voice samples

Listen to the samples on this page to hear how different voices handle German (Germany) scripts. The Calm narrator reads a museum reflection, while the Clear explainer walks through a practical workplace tip. Both use a short delivery note to set the mood and manner of the reading without speaking the note itself.

The Lively storyteller sample shows how you can place an expression, such as a sigh, directly into the script so it is performed rather than read aloud. If you are making an interview or a language lesson, the Two voices in conversation sample shows how a host and a guest can take turns in one recording, with each line spoken in its own chosen voice.

- [Calm narrator, German (Germany)](https://exemplary.ai/tts-audio/german-d4bd5713d034.mp3): Ich stand im Museum echt lange in diesem Raum, direkt vor den Sachen aus einer alten Werkstatt an der Küste. Diese abgenutzten Holzgriffe... man sieht richtig, wie die über viele Winter weitergegeben wurden. (Delivery note: calm and warm) (In English: In the museum I stood in that room for a really long time, right in front of the things from an old coastal workshop. Those worn wooden handles... you can really see how they were passed down through many winters.)
- [Clear explainer, German (Germany)](https://exemplary.ai/tts-audio/german-519c5d851f23.mp3): Vor einer Besprechung im Team schick ich immer kurz rum, worum es geht. Einfach ein paar Stichpunkte. Wenn alle vorher wissen, was das Ziel ist, schweifen wir gar nicht erst so ab. (Delivery note: clear and steady) (In English: Before a team meeting, I always send out a quick note about what we are covering. Just a few bullet points. When everyone knows the goal beforehand, we do not get sidetracked as much.)
- [Lively storyteller, German (Germany)](https://exemplary.ai/tts-audio/german-9ea0b3c3cbc4.mp3): Ich hab gerade die halbe Küche nach meiner Lesebrille auf den Kopf gestellt, und dabei saß sie die ganze Zeit direkt auf meiner Nase. (Delivery note: warm and playful) (In English: I just turned half the kitchen upside down looking for my reading glasses, and the whole time they were sitting right on my nose.)
- [Two voices in conversation, German (Germany)](https://exemplary.ai/tts-audio/german-2700b0825d8e.mp3): Host: Sag mal, mein Balkon sieht schon so leer aus. Kann man da jetzt im Herbst überhaupt noch was pflanzen? / Guest: Klar, robuste Kräuter gehen jetzt eigentlich noch richtig gut. Thymian oder Salbei zum Beispiel. / Host: Ach, schön! Brauchen die denn tagsüber noch viel Sonne? / Guest: Ein heller Platz hilft schon sehr, ja. Schau vor allem, dass das Regenwasser gut abfließen kann, dann passt das. (In English: Say, my balcony looks so empty already. Can you even plant anything out there now in autumn? Sure, hardy herbs still do really well right now. Thyme or sage, for example. Oh, nice! Do they still need a lot of sun during the day? A bright spot helps a lot, yes. Above all, just make sure the rainwater can drain well, then you are good.)

## What you can make with spoken German

Creators and educators can build listening materials for people learning Deutsch, from vocabulary lists with grammatical articles to short dialogues between two speakers on everyday topics. Every finished audio file comes with a transcript that you can also export as subtitles for training videos, onboarding modules, or course lessons.

You can also record museum guides, product walkthroughs, or podcast introductions for listeners in Germany and across German-speaking regions. When you revise a script, you only need to regenerate the specific line you changed, while the rest of your audio stays as it was. All speech made this way is marked as AI-generated in the audio file.

## Writing German scripts for spoken audio

German is written in the Latin script and uses the umlaut letters ä, ö, and ü, along with the Eszett (ß) in standard German spelling. Use these characters directly so the text follows standard orthography, and keep normal German capitalisation for all nouns as required by standard spelling rules.

German is known for long compound nouns, which are written as a single word or joined with a hyphen when standard spelling calls for it. As a scriptwriting habit, you can write out abbreviations such as z. B. as zum Beispiel, and spell out numbers, dates, and ordinal words in full to match the exact grammatical case you want in your sentence. For loanwords used as nouns in German, capitalise them just like native nouns, and keep standard German hyphenation when combining them with German words.

## Questions

### Which variety of German do these voices speak?

The voices on this page speak German (Germany), the standard variety used in Germany. You can browse the voice library by language and accent to select the voice that fits your script.

### How should I write umlauts and the Eszett in my script?

Write ä, ö, ü, and ß directly using standard German spelling. Use these characters directly rather than letter pairs like ae or oe unless a personal or place name requires that spelling.

### How should I handle abbreviations and dates in German text?

As a helpful style habit for spoken scripts, you can write abbreviations and dates out as full German words, such as am ersten Mai for a date. Writing out expressions like und so weiter instead of usw. keeps your script clear and shows the exact phrasing and case endings you want in your recording.

### Can I use two different voices in the same German recording?

Yes, you can assign two voices to share one conversation in a single script. Each speaker reads their own lines in turn, which works well for interviews and language learning dialogues.

### How do delivery notes and expressions work in a script?

Each line can carry a short delivery note, such as calm or warm, that shapes the mood without being read aloud. You can also place an expression like a sigh in the text so it is performed rather than spoken as a word.
