There is no native Algerian Arabic platform voice yet, so the playground uses Tariq, a voice recorded in another language: the Algerian Arabic text is read correctly, in that voice's accent. For a local accent, clone a native Algerian Arabic speaker from a 10-second recording and use that voice for every clip.
Sign up free, then send Algerian Arabic text to the API with "output_format": "mp3" and save the file, or generate clips in the dashboard and download them. Scripts longer than the playground's 220 characters work the same way.
About Algerian Arabic
Algerian Arabic, often called Darja, greets with "واش راك؟" (how are you?, to a man; "واش راكي" to a woman), asks "شحال؟" (how much?), says "درك" (now), "بزاف" (a lot) and "صحّيت" (thanks, well done). Possession uses "تاع": "الكولي تاعك" (your parcel). Like Moroccan, it uses n- for "I" ("نقدر", I can) and drops many short vowels. Accents change across the country: Oran in the west, Algiers in the centre and Constantine in the east sound noticeably different.
After 130 years of French rule, French is woven through everyday Algerian speech, and customer messages show it: "الكولي" (le colis, parcel), "الفاكتورة" (bill), "الكارت", "البوسطة", or whole French phrases. Pāṇini reads Arabic mixed with French in one voice. MSA sounds like television to an Algerian caller, and a Middle Eastern accent sounds foreign; Darja with the right French words sounds like a local company.

YouTube
Yes, AI voices are allowed. What YouTube limits is mass-produced, repetitive content: videos made from a template with little original work. Its July 2025 update renamed that rule from “repetitious” to “inauthentic” content (YouTube’s monetisation policies).
Write your own script, add your own research or editing, and keep one consistent voice for the channel. Where a realistic AI voice could mislead viewers, use YouTube’s altered or synthetic content label. The monetisation decision is always YouTube’s.
Voice cloning
Clone your voice from a 10-second recording. Your clone speaks Algerian Arabic, and every other language Pāṇini supports, in your own voice. The language comes from the text you type, so a clone recorded in English or Hindi can read a Algerian Arabic script.
Your accent comes with it: a clone sounds like you speaking Algerian Arabic, not like a different native speaker. Every free account includes one voice clone. Clone only your own voice, or a voice whose owner has agreed.
API
One request returns Algerian Arabic audio as MP3. The language is detected from the text, so no language setting is needed. Pāṇini TTS starts streaming audio in under 200 ms (time to first byte).
