How this Korean accent generator works

The voice is a native Korean speaker voice reading your English text, so it sounds like English spoken with a Korean accent. There is no accent effect added on top. Results vary by word: everyday words often sound close to English, while names, numbers and rare words may be read with stronger Korean sounds.

Use InJoon or SunHi. HyunsuMultilingual is designed to speak many languages fluently, so it reads English with almost no accent.

What a Korean accent in English often sounds like

Korean has no "f", "v", "z" or "th" sounds, and syllables tend to end in a small set of consonants. That leads to some common patterns:

• "F" often moves towards a "p" sound, so "coffee" can sound like "copee".
• "V" can become "b", and "z" can sound like "j", as in "jero" for "zero".
• A soft "eu" vowel may be added after a final consonant, so "milk" can sound like "mil-keu".
• Final "p", "t" and "k" are often held back and not fully released.
• "R" and "l" can sound alike, and "th" is often said as "d" or "s".

Where people use a Korean accent voice

• Cooking, beauty and travel videos with English narration.
• Characters in games, webcomics turned into videos, and animations.
• English teachers showing which sounds are hard for Korean learners.
• Actors and writers checking how a line sounds before recording it.
• Short social clips where a friendly Korean-accented narrator explains a recipe, a product or a travel tip in English.

Tips for a better Korean accent read

• Words with "f", "v" and "z", such as "coffee", "video" and "zero", show the accent most clearly.
• Words that end in a consonant, like "milk", "bus" and "church", let you hear the soft added vowel.
• Friendly, upbeat lines work well for a stream intro or a beauty video; short commands suit a coach.
• Spell brand-style names the way they should sound, since the voice may guess at unusual spellings.
• Compare InJoon and SunHi on the same line and keep the one that fits your character.

What it does and does not do

• It reads English text in a native Korean voice and gives you an MP3. Speed and pitch can be changed in the extra options.
• It does not imitate any singer, actor, idol or drama character.
• It does not change the accent of your own recording, and it does not translate your text into Korean.
• It does not add music or effects. Add those in your video editor.
