Text to speech

Italian text to speech, in italiano.

Text to speech in Italian for customer service, reminders, narration and voice agents.

Listen

Two voices, in Italian.

  • Emma

    Buongiorno, la chiamo dalla clinica per confermare il suo appuntamento di domani alle dieci e mezza. Le va ancora bene, o preferisce un altro orario?

  • Lucas

    Il suo ordine è partito stamattina dal nostro magazzino e dovrebbe arrivare giovedì. Se deve cambiare l'indirizzo di consegna, posso farlo subito.

Versa 2.0’s output for exactly the text shown, through the public API, unedited.

How it works

Text in, Italian out.

Text to speech turns written Italian into spoken audio. Ours is Versa, a speech model we train ourselves: it generates each chunk of sound in parallel instead of one token at a time, so the first audio arrives in about 65 ms and the rest streams behind it.

Every voice speaks Italian, and a voice agent can listen and answer in Italian on the web or on the phone.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much does Italian text to speech cost?

$4.10 per million characters, the same in every language, billed per character from a prepaid balance. New accounts get $5 of credit with no card, about 1.2 million characters.

Which voices speak Italian?

All ten. Versa is zero-shot, so a voice is a timbre rather than a language: every voice speaks every one of our nine languages, Italian included.

Can I clone a voice in Italian?

Yes. Record or upload 3 to 30 seconds of speech in the dashboard and the new voice speaks Italian and the other eight languages. Only clone a voice you own or have permission to use.

Can a voice agent hold a conversation in Italian?

Yes. A Lokutor voice agent listens and answers in Italian, on the web or on the phone, for about 5¢ a minute with the language model included.
