Five things a Mandarin voice has to get right
Most robotic Mandarin comes from reading each character on its own. These are the spots where context decides the sound, and where you should listen closely in the preview.
Polyphonic characters (多音字)
银行 yínháng / 行走 xíngzǒu
The same character can have two readings. 行 is háng in 银行 (bank) and xíng in 行走 (walk), and 长 is cháng in 长度 but zhǎng in 长大. The narrator picks the reading from the surrounding word, so keep compounds intact in your script.
When two is 两 and when it is 二
两个人 / 第二 / 两千
Mandarin says 两 before a measure word and before 千 or 万, as in 两个人 and 两千, but 二 for ordinals and in 十二个. If you type the digit 2, check that the preview picks the form a listener expects.
Tone changes in running speech
你好 ní hǎo / 不是 búshì / 一个 yí ge
Two third tones in a row shift, so 你好 is spoken ní hǎo. 不 and 一 also change tone before certain syllables. A natural read applies these rules; reading every syllable in its dictionary tone is what makes synthetic Mandarin sound stiff.
Simplified or traditional input
简体 / 繁體
Paste either script and the narrator reads it in Mandarin. Singapore and the mainland use simplified characters, Taiwan uses traditional. Keep one script per version of a video, and play a short block first when you switch to traditional text.
Full-width punctuation and spacing
，。“”：《》
Write Chinese with full-width commas and full stops and no spaces between characters, since punctuation sets the pauses. Put a half-width space on each side of an English term such as MP3. Taiwan-facing copy usually swaps “” for 「」.
English terms, times, and Mandarin in one office line
Chinese business scripts drop in English words like meeting and KPI. Type them in Latin letters with a space on each side and the narrator says them in English inside the Mandarin sentence.
A team reminder that mixes Mandarin, English, and a clock time
Style: Speak in Mandarin, loose and quick, like a team lead posting in the group chat
我们下午 3 点 开个 meeting 把 Q3 的 KPI 对一下。

Yuan, dates, and percentages read in Mandarin
Type numbers as digits the way they appear in your listing or slide. These rows show what a listener should hear; anything unusual, such as Q3, is worth one test run.
| You write | The narrator says | Type |
|---|---|---|
| ¥1,299 | 一千二百九十九元 | Formal 元. Casual speech often says 一千两百九十九块 |
| 2026年10月30日 | 二〇二六年十月三十日 | The year is read digit by digit |
| 25% | 百分之二十五 | Mandarin says "out of a hundred" first |
| 2个人 | 两个人 | Before a measure word, 2 becomes 两 |
Three routes into Mandarin audio, by project length
Course teams, sellers, and publishers working in Chinese usually start with one of these three.
Block-based Studio for Mandarin courses and demos
Lay a Mandarin script out as blocks, set a narrator and an English direction on each, and drag them into the order of your slides. Correct one character and only that block is rebuilt.
Set up Mandarin slides as Studio blocksChapter-by-chapter Mandarin books in the Audiobook Creator
Bring in a manuscript as EPUB, PDF, or DOCX, confirm where each chapter starts, and rebuild a single paragraph after you fix a wrong character or name.
Load a novel and fix one wrong character at a timeA cloned host voice for Mandarin series
Record or upload a short clip of your own voice, or one you are allowed to use, then hand the clone any Mandarin block. Try a handful of lines first, since every voice carries its accent into Mandarin a little differently.

Direction in English, script in Chinese
Describe the delivery in a short English line, then drop a tag such as [excited] directly before the characters that need it.

Customer testimonials
See why creators, publishers, and teams rely on Narration Box for natural-sounding voice content.
“Quality of voices and ease of use made Narration Box the perfect choice for my fiction podcast The Program. It's the only voice synthesis service that knew the difference between 'live frugally' and 'live broadcast' and that could pronounce Mar-a-Lago.”
Ivan
Creator, The program audio series
“We've been using Narration Box for a while now, and are grateful to the team behind it! It allows us to create audio versions of our books and articles in many languages, within seconds. The generated audio sounds very natural and is almost indistinguishable from a real narrator. What an amazing service for creators, and it keeps evolving! I highly recommend it.”
Reto Stuber
CEO, Stuber Media
“The user-interface is great. Nice and simple without too many bells and whistles. The array of voices are also good, though some are definitely better than others. With that said, you can adjust the speaking pace for each voice, which does improve the flow, making voices seem less artificial. Also, the free plan is generous.”
Tom W.
Filmmaker
Review on G2
“Narration Box has allowed me to get away from having to set up my own recording studio. Previously, I had an idea of hiring a human narrator but there was so much hassle as well as costs. The voice choices are pretty good, especially the enhanced voices. I love the options available to further personalize the AI narrator's speech within the text. Narration Box saved me so much time for several small projects. I actually made audio clips whilst writing another book.”

FAQs
Frequently asked questions
Questions about Mandarin, character sets, numbers, and pricing from teams making Chinese audio.
Chinese text to speech
Which spoken form of Chinese do the narrators use?
The narrators on this page speak Mandarin, the standard spoken form used in mainland China, Taiwan, and Singapore. Write your script in Chinese characters and the audio comes out in Mandarin.
Is Mandarin narration free to try on a small script?
Yes. Sign up for the free plan, paste a few Mandarin scripts up to 1,000 words in total, and download the results with no credit card on file. Those downloads carry a watermark, which a paid plan removes.
Which narrators can read Mandarin and follow my direction?
Narration Box lists 1,500+ AI voices across 80+ languages, with Enbee V1 voices made for Chinese among them. Every clip on this page comes from one of our 21 Enbee V2 narrators (12 female, 9 male); each reads Mandarin and follows English direction on pace, mood, and accent.
Do I need to add pinyin for characters with two readings?
No. Type characters, not pinyin. The narrator reads 行 in 银行 and 行走 differently based on the word around it. If a rare name still sounds wrong, an Enbee V1 voice can store the reading you want.
Will a script written in traditional characters work?
Yes, traditional input is read in Mandarin too. For Taiwan audiences, change the vocabulary and quote marks as well as the characters, and listen to a short block before generating the full script.
Can I ask for a Taiwan or Beijing style of Mandarin?
Write it in the direction, for example "Speak in Mandarin with a Taiwan accent." Accent requests vary between narrators, so listen to a short block first and keep the narrator whose read fits your audience.
How are prices like ¥1,299 and percentages read?
Digits are read as Mandarin numbers, so 25% becomes 百分之二十五 and a year is read digit by digit. Prices default to 元. Write 块 in the script if you want the casual form.
Can the files go into Bilibili videos, courses, or ads?
Download each Mandarin project as MP3, WAV, Opus, FLAC, or OGG, either merged into one file or split per block for your video editor. On a paid plan you may use the audio commercially, within the subscription terms, in ads, courses, and storefront videos.
