Tips
Accents and apostrophes carry meaning in Italian.
Keep written accents: è (is) vs e (and), perché, città.
Keep apostrophes in elisions: l'amico, un'altra, dell'anno.
Double consonants change words (pala vs palla) — check spelling carefully.
Write numbers as words when the reading matters (ventitré).
Choose tu or Lei to match your audience.
Compare MiniMax and ElevenLabs on the same line; their melody differs.

What works, what to avoid, and how the pieces fit.
Italian is spoken in Italy, Switzerland, San Marino and beyond, alongside many regional languages and accents [1]. Standard Italian — the form used in media and schools — is what AI voices speak. Italian spelling is close to its sound, which makes it well suited to text to speech.
