Your product speaks English too
A Thai company with customers abroad needs a voice those customers can listen to. Four of the catalog's voices are English-first, in the same account, on the same rate, behind the same key.
Most of what a Thai software company builds is read by someone who does not read Thai. The onboarding tour, the demo video, the support line that answers at two in the morning Bangkok time. All of it is in English. All of it is a voice decision somebody made by picking whichever foreign vendor came up first.
That decision usually costs a second vendor, a second bill, and a second integration, for the sake of four or five recordings a quarter. The catalog carries 4 English-first voices beside its 22 Thai ones. Same account, same key, same per-character rate, and the same request with a different voice id.
4 voices, one line#
Each of these is designed for a different job, and each reads the same sentence below so the only thing that changes between rows is the voice.
The line
Thanks for reaching out. Our team is in Bangkok. You will hear back before your morning.
One line, every English voice. Names link to each voice's own page.
Where the English voice goes#
These are the four places a Thai company usually needs one, and between them they are why the catalog carries four.
The support line that answers overnight
Your customers are awake when Bangkok is asleep. A voice on the line at 03:00 costs the same as one at 15:00. The script is a file you edit, with no session to book.
The product demo nobody wants to re-record
A demo goes stale the week the interface changes. When the narration is a script, a new version is one request. The demo then keeps pace with the product it describes.
Onboarding and in-product help
Read the screens aloud in the language the user chose. The same integration serves both, and a new string ships with the release it belongs to.
The brand film for an audience abroad
A polished read for the reel, the pitch, and the site. Cast it from the catalog first and book an artist only if none of the four is the one.
One account for both languages#
A company selling in Thailand and abroad runs the same pipeline twice: the same request, the same key, the same billing, a different voice id. Nothing about the Thai side has to know that the English side exists.
The catalog's Thai voices also read English words inside Thai sentences without a hand-off, which is the case that matters when the product is Thai and the product name is not. These 4 are for the other direction, where the whole sentence is English.
Questions#
- Are these different models from the Thai voices?
- No. One model serves the whole catalog, and a voice is an id you send with the request. Any of the 26 voices is available on any account.
- Do the English voices cost more?
- No. Speech bills per character at one rate regardless of voice or language, and the free credits a new account starts with cover either.
- Can one request mix English and Thai?
- Yes, and which voice you choose decides how it lands. A Thai voice carries English words inside Thai sentences; these four are for text that is English throughout.
- Can we use the audio commercially?
- Output made on free credits is for personal use and evaluation. Once you buy a plan or credits, generated output becomes yours for any use, including commercial publication, and that covers output generated before the purchase.
- Which one should we start with?
- Play the four above on your own copy in the playground before deciding. They were cast for different work, and the choice is easier to hear than to read about.
