Welsh audio for schools, public bodies, and learners
Welsh-medium schools, councils, museums, and course makers for adult learners all need spoken Welsh, often published next to an English version.
Bilingual notices from public bodies
Organisations covered by the Welsh Language Standards must not treat Welsh less favourably than English, so phone menus and notices often go out in both. Narration Box produces the audio; checking your own duties stays with you.
Mae'r ffurflen hon ar gael yn Gymraeg ac yn Saesneg.

Four narrators reading Welsh written for real settings. The direction printed on each card is everything the narrator was told.
Lenora
Female · Middle-Aged · Multilingual
Year five science lesson

Bore da, blwyddyn pump. Heddiw byddwn ni'n dysgu am y cylch dŵr.
Harlan
Male · Middle-Aged · Multilingual
Library closure notice
Style: Read in Welsh, formal and courteous, like a council service update.
Bydd y llyfrgell ar gau ddydd Llun oherwydd gwaith cynnal a chadw. Ymddiheurwn am unrhyw anghyfleustra.
Mabel
Female · Young · Multilingual
Rural affairs podcast
Style: Speak in Welsh, chatty and curious, before meeting a farmer from Ceredigion.
Croeso i'r podlediad. Yr wythnos hon, rydyn ni'n sgwrsio gyda ffermwr ifanc o Geredigion.
Otis
Male · Middle-Aged · Multilingual
Bilingual phone menu
Style: Read in Welsh, calm and steady, like the first option on a public phone line.
Diolch am eich galwad. Pwyswch un am wasanaeth Cymraeg.
Mutations, digraphs, and two ways to say 23
Welsh changes the first sound of a word after certain words, treats some letter pairs as one letter, and keeps two counting systems in use. Here is what that means for a script.
Soft, aspirate, and nasal mutations
cath / ei gath / ei chath / fy nghath
Cat, his cat, her cat, my cat. The first sound shifts with the word before it, and the narrator reads whichever form you type. Proofread mutations in names and new terms, because a missed one is heard straight away.
Ll, dd, ch, and ff are single letters
Llanelli, Machynlleth, ffordd
Dd is the voiced th in this, a single f sounds like an English v, and stress usually falls on the second-to-last syllable. Type place names in their Welsh spelling rather than an anglicised one.
North and south words
rŵan / nawr, llefrith / llaeth
Both pairs mean now and milk. Neither is more correct; pick the words your listeners use and keep them consistent. For a regional sound, ask for it in the style instruction and listen to a short block first.
Decimal or traditional numbers
dau ddeg tri / tri ar hugain
Both mean 23. Schools teach the decimal form, and the traditional count is still heard for ages, dates, and times. Write the number in words when one form matters.
Feminine nouns change the number
pedair punt
Punt is feminine, so four pounds is pedair, not pedwar, and two and three become dwy and tair. When a price reads oddly, write it in words in the script.
Meeting and email in a Welsh sentence
Everyday Welsh borrows English words and sometimes gives them Welsh endings. Write the sentence as people say it and the narrator moves between the two.
An office message about a 3 o'clock meeting
Style: Speak in Welsh, casual, like telling a colleague the plan
Mae'r meeting am 3 o'r gloch, felly wna i sendio'r email wedyn.
What that message mixes
- Welsh words
- felly, wedyn
- English nouns
- meeting, email
- Time with o'r gloch
- 3 o'r gloch
- Sendio, a borrowed verb with Welsh grammar
- sendio'r
Pounds, dates, and the clock in Welsh
Number words in Welsh depend on the noun that follows. Type figures as usual and spell out any that need a particular form.
| You write | The narrator says | Type |
|---|---|---|
| £4.99 | pedair punt naw deg naw | Punt is feminine, so pedair, not pedwar |
| 23 | dau ddeg tri / tri ar hugain | Decimal and traditional; both are heard |
| 1 Mawrth | y cyntaf o Fawrth | St David's Day, soft mutation after o |
| 10:30 | hanner awr wedi deg | Half past ten |
Slate quarry gallery tour, block by block
Mabel welcomes visitors, Otis describes the next room, and Mabel says goodbye. Make a matching English version in the same project, block by block.
01Mabel
Style: Speak in Welsh, warm and unhurried, welcoming visitors at the entrance.
Croeso i'r amgueddfa. Mae'r daith hon yn para tua ugain munud.
02Otis
Style: Read in Welsh like a guide pausing beside an exhibit.
Yn yr ystafell nesaf, fe welwch chi offer o'r hen chwarel lechi.
03Mabel
Style: Speak in Welsh, friendly, thanking visitors on the way out.
Diolch am ymweld. Cofiwch sganio'r cod QR am ragor o wybodaeth.
A new exhibit means one new block
When the slate tools move to another gallery, rewrite the middle block and regenerate it. The welcome and goodbye stay untouched.
How Otis was told to sound
Write the tone as a short sentence, such as "Read in Welsh, slow and calm", and put a tag like [excited] before the words that should lift.
Produce a bilingual audio guide in the StudioEnbee V1 for Machynlleth and Ceredigion
Choose a Welsh Enbee V1 voice when Machynlleth, Ceredigion, or a council department must be said one fixed way. It keeps a pronunciation list and gives you speed and pause settings.
Three tools for Cymraeg and bilingual work
Schools, public bodies, and creators producing in Welsh, often with an English version alongside, mostly use these three.
Studio for Welsh and English side by side
Place each Welsh block next to its English version, each with its own narrator, and export them together or per block. When a date changes, regenerate only the blocks that mention it.
Set up a Welsh and English project in the StudioLong-form Welsh in the Audiobook Creator
Bring a Welsh manuscript in as EPUB, PDF, or DOCX and look over the chapters it is split into. If a reviewer spots a missed mutation, regenerate that paragraph alone.
Publish Welsh books as chapter audioA familiar teacher or presenter, cloned with consent
Clone a voice you own or have permission to use from a short sample. Listen to the first Welsh blocks closely, since an accent can carry over differently.
Give a consenting teacher's voice to Cymraeg blocksSchools and councils working in Welsh get 1,000 words on the free plan, with no card required and a watermark on each file. Paying lifts the word limit, takes the watermark off, and permits commercial use. Costs once the free Welsh words run out
Irish, English, and other smaller European languages
Irish and English sit closest to most Welsh projects, and Narration Box also has pages for Basque, Catalan, Galician, Icelandic, Maltese, and Luxembourgish. Or browse all 80+ text to speech languages.

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
For teachers, public bodies, and creators asking about mutations, regional words, and bilingual audio.
Welsh text to speech
How much Welsh text to speech can a school test free?
A free account covers 1,000 words with no credit card, enough for a few lesson tasks. Those files carry a watermark; paid plans remove it and raise the word limit.
How many voices are there for Welsh TTS?
Welsh TTS on Narration Box draws on 1,500+ AI voices across 80+ languages, with Enbee V1 voices made for Welsh among them. Lenora, Harlan, Mabel, and Otis above are four of our 21 Enbee V2 narrators (12 female, 9 male), every one of whom speaks Welsh and takes written direction on tone, pace, and accent.
Does it read mutations like ei chath and fy nghath?
It reads the mutated form you type, so the spelling in your script is what listeners hear. Proofread mutations before generating, especially after possessives and prepositions.
Will ll, dd, and letters like ŵ be read as Welsh?
When the text is Welsh, the narrator treats them as Welsh letters. Keep circumflexes in the script, since a missing ŵ or ŷ changes the spelling, and check that your editor saved them.
Can I choose a north or south Welsh sound?
Write the regional words your audience uses, such as rŵan or nawr, and ask for a northern or southern sound in the style instruction. Listen to a short block first, as the result varies by narrator.
Is 23 read as dau ddeg tri or tri ar hugain?
Both are used in Welsh. If your script needs one of them, write it in words; for school material the decimal form is the usual choice.
Does this meet our Welsh Language Standards duties?
Narration Box makes Welsh and English audio, but it cannot tell you whether a recording meets your organisation's duties. The Standards come from the Welsh Language (Wales) Measure 2011 and are regulated by the Welsh Language Commissioner, so check with your own Welsh language team.
Can one project hold both Welsh and English blocks?
Yes. Give each block its language in the script and direction, assign narrators, and export everything as one file or one file per block for separate Welsh and English uploads.
What can I export, and can councils use it commercially?
Files come as MP3, WAV, Opus, FLAC, or OGG, either one combined track or a file per block, so Welsh and English versions can be uploaded separately. Paid plans cover commercial use, including work for councils and clients, under the subscription terms.
