Free Random Accent Generator

How it works

1. Pick a random number from 1 to 12: ask a friend, close your eyes and point, or use any dice app. The box does not pick for you.
2. Find that number in the list below. Choose its language in the box menu, or open its page from the links at the bottom. Keep your text in English.
3. Press generate, listen, and download the MP3. Pick a new number and try the same line again.

Pick a number: 12 accents to try

Each accent comes from a real AI voice. For British, Indian, Australian and Irish English, it is a native English voice from that country. For the others, it is a native speaker voice of that language reading your English text, so it sounds like English with that accent. Results vary by word.

• 1. British: choose English (UK) in the menu, then Sonia or Ryan.
• 2. Indian: choose English (India) in the menu, then Neerja or Prabhat.
• 3. Australian: choose English (Australia) in the menu, then Natasha.
• 4. Irish: open the Irish English page from the links at the bottom.
• 5. Russian: choose Russian in the menu, then Dmitry or Svetlana.
• 6. Italian: choose Italian in the menu, then Diego, Elsa or Isabella.
• 7. Japanese: choose Japanese in the menu, then Nanami or Keita.
• 8. Korean: choose Korean in the menu, then InJoon or SunHi.
• 9. Polish: open the Polish accent generator from the links at the bottom.
• 10. Greek: open the Greek accent generator from the links at the bottom.
• 11. German: choose German in the menu, then Conrad, Katja, Killian or Amala.
• 12. Spanish: choose Spanish (Spain) or Spanish (Mexico) in the menu.

Tip: skip the "Multilingual" voices

Some languages have voices with "Multilingual" in their name, such as in Italian, Korean, German and French. These voices are built to speak many languages fluently, so they read English with almost no accent. For an accent, always pick a voice without "Multilingual" in its name.

Also keep your text in English. If you type in Russian, Japanese or Greek, you get that language spoken normally, not an accent.

Fun ways to use random accents

• Guess the accent: one person picks a number in secret, plays the clip, and everyone else guesses.
• Improv and drama warm-ups: roll for an accent, hear the line, then perform it yourself.
• Story writing: give each character in your story a random accent and hear how they sound.
• Language class listening games that show how English sounds around the world.
• Game and animation prototypes, before you choose final voices.

What it does and does not do

• It reads your English text in the accent you choose and gives you an MP3.
• It does not choose an accent at random by itself. You pick the number, then set the language.
• It does not change the accent of your own recording. It is text to speech, not a voice changer.
• It has no regional accents such as Scottish, Texan or Cockney, and it does not add echo, music or effects.
