Before you paste: script, tone, and the addak
Punjabi reaches listeners in two scripts and on three continents. These five checks decide how the narrator reads your text.
Gurmukhi for most readers, Shahmukhi for Lahore
ਪੰਜਾਬੀ / پنجابی
Punjabi in India and much of the diaspora in Canada and the UK is written in Gurmukhi. Punjabi in Pakistan is usually written in Shahmukhi, a Perso-Arabic script. Gurmukhi gives the steadier read. For Shahmukhi, open the direction with "Speak in Punjabi" and test one short block.
Pitch, not breath, on ਘ ਝ ਢ ਧ ਭ
ਘੋੜਾ (horse) and ਕੋੜਾ (whip)
These letters usually mark a falling tone rather than a breathy h, so ਘੋੜਾ sounds close to ਕੋੜਾ, said lower. You do not add tone marks. Spell the word right and the narrator takes the pitch from the spelling.
One small mark, a different word
ਪਤਾ (address) and ਪੱਤਾ (leaf)
The addak (ੱ) doubles the consonant after it. Drop it and a leaf becomes an address. Search for it in long captions before you generate.
ਤੁਸੀਂ for announcements, ਤੂੰ for Reels
ਤੁਸੀਂ ਸ਼ੁਰੂ ਕਰ ਸਕਦੇ ਹੋ / ਤੂੰ ਸ਼ੁਰੂ ਕਰ ਸਕਦਾ ਹੈਂ
ਤੁਸੀਂ keeps a respectful distance and fits event notices, training, and community news. ਤੂੰ sounds like a friend talking, which suits Reels and vlogs. Choose one per script and stay with it.
Borrowed words stay in their own letters
ਅੱਜ meeting ਹੈ, ਫਿਰ office ਜਾਣਾ।
Punjabi captions pull in English and Hindi words all the time. Leave English words in English letters. The narrator pronounces them as English and keeps the Punjabi rhythm around them.
Captions that switch to English mid-sentence
A release-night caption rarely stays in one language. Write the English words in English letters and the narrator moves between the two in a single take.

Release date moved? Fix the outro only
Edit the block that changed and regenerate it alone. The hype intro and the explanation stay exactly as you approved them.
Set the mood like you would brief a singer
Type a direction such as "Speak in Punjabi like a stage announcer", then drop [excited] or [softly] right before the words that should shift.
Open the Punjabi block editorArtist names that never change
Punjabi voices on Enbee V1 come with speed and pause settings plus saved pronunciations, so a singer’s name sounds identical in every teaser.
Punjabi audio from Ludhiana to Surrey and Southall
Punjabi listeners are split between Punjab and large communities in Canada, the UK, and Australia. These formats fit that spread.
Song teasers and bhangra night ads
Release-day countdowns, mela announcements, and concert reminders, with the energy set in the direction instead of in the edit.

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
Answers for creators, promoters, and teachers working in Gurmukhi and Shahmukhi.
Punjabi text to speech
Which script should my Punjabi text be in?
Gurmukhi reads most predictably and suits readers of Gurmukhi script. Shahmukhi works too, for listeners who read Punjabi in Perso-Arabic letters. Start the direction with "Speak in Punjabi" and listen to one short block before a full script.
Can the narrator sound like someone from Majha, Doaba, or Malwa?
Ask for it in the direction, for example "Speak in Punjabi with a Majhi accent from Amritsar." Every Enbee V2 narrator takes accent instructions. Preview a short block first, since regional accents vary in how strongly they come through.
Do I need to mark tones anywhere in the text?
No. Punjabi tone comes from the spelling, so ਘੋੜਾ (horse) and ਕੋੜਾ (whip) read with different pitch as long as they are spelled correctly. Preview names and rare words.
How do I keep words like "live" and "music video" sounding English?
Write them in English letters inside the Gurmukhi sentence. The narrator switches to English for those words and returns to Punjabi without a break.
Could I use a clone of my own voice for Punjabi Reels?
Yes, if it is your voice or one you have permission to use. Upload or record a short sample, then test the clone on a short Punjabi block. The result depends on how clean the sample is.
How far does the free plan go for Punjabi?
Far enough to voice a batch of captions: 1,000 words, with no credit card. Free downloads include a watermark. A paid plan raises the word count and removes the watermark.
Who reads Punjabi on Narration Box?
There are 1,500+ AI voices across 80+ languages, and that includes Enbee V1 voices made for Punjabi. The players on this page use our 21 Enbee V2 narrators (12 female, 9 male). Each of them speaks Punjabi and follows written direction for energy, pace, and accent.
Can I post the audio on Instagram and use it in a paid promo?
Paid plans cover commercial use, including client promos, under the subscription terms. Download MP3, WAV, Opus, FLAC, or OGG, either as one file or one file per block, which helps when an editor wants each line on its own.
