Text to speech for English (Canada) scripts

Hear an English notice, course passage or customer instruction intended for people in Canada. Start with the names, dates and units in your own material. This collection helps you compare Canadian English voices; it does not translate a French script. For a French recording, choose the appropriate French collection and write a separate version.

Choose a voice

Clara

Type or paste a short passage, choose a voice, then press Play. Listen before deciding whether to keep it. Anonymous playback has a 1,500-character limit per generation. Saving and downloading come after the account step.

Keep colour and centre consistent with your written material. State the month in words when a date could be read in more than one order.

Compare the available voices

This collection has 2 voices: 1 male and 1 female. Use a sentence from your actual task to compare them. A collection label is a starting point; it does not guarantee the pronunciation of every local name.

Filter by voice gender and quality. Quality labels are Standard, Premium and Emotional; show only options available in this collection. Choose a voice by its actual sample, rather than by the tier name alone.

Choose the right language page

For another audience, compare these regional collections and adapt the wording as well as the voice. The main English collection remains available through its existing page.

Make the recording clear across the material

Choose the language of the recording before selecting a narrator. An English script with a French place name is different from a French-language announcement. Prepare the text for the audience you intend to reach, then preview any mixed-language names in context.

Canadian writing often combines colour and centre with organize. Follow the convention in the organisation’s existing documents rather than changing spellings halfway through a course. This matters when learners compare the narration with the worksheet or captions, even where the sound of the word is unchanged.

State units clearly. A distance and a temperature should include the unit the listener expects, while a reference number may need to be read as separate digits. Avoid leaving that decision to a symbol in the text. A person hearing the audio alone cannot see the notation.

Check names such as Mississauga, Gatineau or Iqaluit before recording the rest of the message. If a reading needs to stay consistent, set it in the studio pronunciation dictionary. That feature is available on every plan. For dates, write out the month when formats could be ambiguous. Finally, compare the spoken instruction with the practical information on the form.

Recording tasks to try

  • In a community programme welcome, name the activity and the room before adding background. Keep seasonal arrangements separate so you can update the notice without losing its main instruction.
  • In staff training, use the unit names and document labels employees already know. Put an unfamiliar abbreviation into the first preview rather than discovering it after completing the module.
  • In a customer collection message, explain where the pickup happens and what to bring. Confirm that the English and French versions give the same practical details.
  • In a course introduction, tell learners what materials to prepare. Listen to the instruction without the worksheet to find any missing context.

From script to audio

  1. Paste the passage you want to hear. Keep the sentence with the awkward name or abbreviation in your first test.
  2. Pick a voice from this collection. Use this voice returns that choice to the same script tool.
  3. Press Play and listen through. After the result, save and download the MP3 with a free account. Continue in the studio for document or URL import, pronunciation editing and downloads.

What the free account includes

The Free plan includes every voice and unlimited studio previews. A free account can download its output as MP3 within its credit allowance. The allowance is 2,500 credits, given once, not renewed monthly.

Free use is for personal projects and evaluation. Commercial rights require a paid plan. If you are making a client deliverable or an advertisement, check the plan terms before using the recording. Prices on these pages are in USD. A voice preview helps you choose; it does not settle the rights for the finished project.

Before you make your recording

There are Canadian English choices in this collection; compare them with your actual course or service passage. Listening before signup is subject to the page tool limit. The account step is for keeping the result you choose.

When the passage is ready, continue with a free account and download its MP3 from the studio. Output uses the account credit allowance. This is separate from checking the voice in anonymous playback.

Free includes every voice and unlimited previews within the studio. You can compare the English course passage before using the generation allowance. Keep a separate review for the French version.

The available male and female choices are listed in this Canadian English collection. Hear the same passage with the options. A narrator’s gender does not settle how a French or Indigenous name will be pronounced.

Paid plans include commercial rights for work such as a client course or service campaign. Use Free for personal projects and evaluation. A saved sample is not a substitute for the right licence.

Include the intended units and write the month name when needed. Check numbers as part of the instruction, not as an isolated list. Every plan has the studio pronunciation dictionary for terms that need a consistent reading.

For French-language material, choose a French voice collection and a French script. The Canadian English label is not a bilingual coverage promise. Short names or phrases within an English sentence still need a preview, particularly when the same place appears in different versions of an announcement.

Keep the writing consistent with your organisation’s text. A spelling difference may not change the spoken word, but it remains visible in the script and captions. Spend the listening pass on names, units and instructions, then check the written version against the recording before replacing an existing notice.

Continue in Listen2It

Listen2It is an AI audio suite: voiceover, dubbing, music, and sound effects, with a multi-track editor. For an existing recording, explore dubbing; its supported languages are a separate list from these voices. You can also explore voice changing, voice cloning, pricing or all languages. Choose the tool for the material you already have: written script or recorded speech.

Hear your own script

Try the sentence with the local name, date or unit. Listen as someone receiving the instruction without its written form. Return to the same tool with the text and selected voice kept in place.
