Why accent matters

The same language sounds different depending on where it's spoken: pronunciation, intonation and sometimes vocabulary change. If your audience is in the UK, a British accent sounds more familiar; for Latin American audiences in the US, US Spanish; in Canada, Canadian French.

Choosing an accent

  • Match the spelling to the accent too: color / colour, elevator / lift.
  • For learning materials, choose the accent your students are preparing for.
  • When comparing, keep speed and tone the same so only the accent changes.

You are responsible for the text you convert and how you use it. Using the tool to imitate a real person's voice or to create misleading content violates our terms of use.
