Dialects

Every Voice213 voice speaks three North African dialects. Choose one, and the voice reads your script with that dialect's pronunciation, rhythm and vocabulary.

Send dialect with the name: algerian, tunisian or libyan. Algerian is the default. The numbers 1, 2 and 3 work too, but they switch the request to the inline format, which reads the voice from voiceId and ignores voice: with voice, send the dialect by name.

​Algerian

Algerian darija is Voice213's home dialect, and the one with the most detailed pronunciation. The voice speaks like someone from Algeria, not like a news anchor:

• ق is a hard "g": قال sounds like "gal", قهوة like "gahwa".
• ث, ذ and ظ are softened the Algerian way: ثلاثة sounds like "tléta", هذا like "hada".
• Everyday words such as واش, كيفاش, بزاف, دروك and شحال sound natural.
• Ad vocabulary such as بروموسيون, ليفريزون and كومند is said the way Algerians say it.

​Tunisian

The voice speaks Tunisian darija, with Tunisian vocabulary such as برشة, فمّا, موش and كيفاش, and its vowel shifts: باب sounds closer to "béb".

​Libyan

The voice speaks Libyan Arabic: ق is a "g", and words such as هكي, توّا, باهي and شنو sound natural.

​Write in the dialect you choose

The dialect sets how the voice pronounces your script, but it reads the words you write. For the most natural result, write the script in the same dialect:

​Other languages

Voice213 is built for North African darija, and has no separate setting for Modern Standard Arabic or for other dialects such as Moroccan or Egyptian: an unknown dialect value is read as Algerian. French and English words mixed into a script are pronounced the way locals say them.
