How the Polish accent is made

The voice is a native Polish speaker voice reading your English text, so it sounds like English spoken with a Polish accent. Nothing is added on top. Results vary by word: many words sound clear and close to English, while others are read with Polish sounds and stress.

Marek and Zofia are the two native Polish voices. Keep your text in English; Polish text gives you normal Polish speech.

Typical sounds of a Polish accent in English

Polish is rich in consonants and has clear, short vowels. Polish speakers of English often show some of these features:

• "Th" is often said as "t", "d" or "f", so "three" may sound like "tree" or "free".
• The English "w" can sound like a "v", because the Polish letter w is a v sound.
• Long and short vowels are less different, so "full" and "fool" can sound alike.
• The "r" is rolled or tapped with the tip of the tongue.
• Voiced sounds at the end of a word tend to become voiceless: "bag" can sound close to "back".
• Consonant clusters are clear and crisp, and the "h" is often a little stronger and throatier.

Ideas for a Polish accent voice

• Characters in games, audio dramas and animation: a mountain guide, a baker, a history teacher.
• Travel and food videos about Poland with English narration.
• English teachers showing which sounds are hardest for Polish learners.
• Actors who want to hear a line before practising a Polish accent.

Tips for a better Polish accent read

• Words with "th" and "w", such as "three", "weather" and "with", bring out the accent most.
• Words ending in "b", "d" or "g" ("bag", "road", "dog") let you hear the voiceless ending.
• Use place names and food words as they are said in Poland; the Polish voice reads them naturally.
• Short, clear sentences give a calm, practical tone that suits a guide, a teacher or a delivery message.
• Try Zofia for a softer read and Marek for a deeper one, and slow the speed a little in the extra options if a line feels rushed.

What it does and does not do

• It reads English text in a native Polish voice and gives you an MP3. You can change speed and pitch in the extra options.
• It does not change the accent of a recording you upload, and it does not translate your text.
• It does not add music, echo or effects. Add those in your video editor.
• It does not copy any real person's voice.
