Tips

Better Portuguese audio

Accents and audience vocabulary do most of the work.

  • Keep every accent and cedilla (á, ã, ç, ô) — avó and avô are different people.

  • Write for your audience: “ônibus” and “celular” for Brazil, “autocarro” and “telemóvel” for Portugal.

  • Preview several voices — accents differ and aren't labelled by country.

  • Write numbers as words when gender or reading matters (duas, dois).

  • Use punctuation for pauses; Portuguese sentences run long in writing.

  • For a bilingual channel, use one ElevenLabs voice for both English and Portuguese.

One language, two big standards

Portuguese is spoken across four continents, with Brazilian and European Portuguese as the two main standards [1]. They differ in vowel reduction, rhythm and vocabulary — Brazilian Portuguese keeps more open vowels [2], European Portuguese reduces many of them [3].
