Tips

Better Korean audio

Match the speech level to the voice and the audience.

  • Pick the speech level first: -습니다 for announcements, -요 for videos, 반말 for drama and friends.

  • Match the voice to it — Wise Teacher or Calm Gentleman for formal, Sweet Girl or Brave Youth for casual.

  • Use spacing correctly (띄어쓰기); it shapes where the voice pauses.

  • Write numbers the way they're read: 세 시 (native) vs 삼 분 (Sino-Korean) — spell them out when it matters.

  • Keep English brand names in Latin letters.

  • Try MiniMax and Qwen3's Sohee on the same line; Sohee is softer and more emotional.

Korean Text to Speech, explained

What works, what to avoid, and how the pieces fit.

On this page

Hangul makes Korean TTS reliable

Korean is written in Hangul, an alphabet whose letters are grouped into syllable blocks [1][2]. Spelling maps closely to sound, but sounds change at syllable boundaries (liaison and consonant assimilation), which neural voices learn from data — so correct spelling and spacing matter more than anything else.
