French Text to Speech
Our French AI voice generator turns your written scripts into spoken audio. Compare voices and hear how your words sound.
French audio in three steps.
No setup, no software. The whole loop runs in the browser.
Accents, diacritics and punctuation are all read as written, so what you type is what you hear back.
5 styles to choose between. Test your own line rather than a demo sentence.
Choose MP3, WAV, or FLAC. MP3 defaults to 128 kbps and 44.1 kHz and drops into video editors, podcast hosts, and phone systems.
How our French voices sound
Every voice on this page has the same accent: Standard French. A script keeps that accent from the first line to the last.
5 distinct delivery styles. Most common: Authoritative (2 voices). Audition two different reads on your own line before you commit to one.
Punctuation drives the delivery. Commas and full stops become real pauses, so a well-formatted script gets you further than any slider.

What to know about French speech.
How French text to speech handles punctuation
Written French carries more information than the words alone, and the voices use it. Accents, diacritics and question marks all reach the delivery, so a line typed carefully comes back shaped the way you meant it.
If a sentence comes back with the wrong shape, the punctuation is usually the fix rather than the sliders. Split a long clause in two, or add the comma you left out, and generate again.
Choosing between the French voice styles
Biggest group here: Authoritative (2 voices). It is the natural place to start. Anything meant to be listened to for an hour rather than scanned wants a slower, rounder read instead.
2 styles have a single voice each: Conversational and Professional. If you are unsure, audition two opposite styles on your actual script: the difference is far more obvious on your own words than on a demo line.
French, in short.
