Text to speech · Filipino
Tagalog text to speech turns Tagalog and Filipino text into natural speech, including Taglish, the everyday mix of Tagalog and English. Play it free below with no login; once you sign up it also works as a Tagalog voice-over generator, with MP3 from the API. I-type lang ang Tagalog, tapos pakinggan agad.
Salamat po sa paghihintay. Na-check ko na po ang account ninyo, at na-process na ang refund na isang libo't dalawang daan at limampung piso sa GCash ninyo. May SMS confirmation din po kayong matatanggap.

There is no native Tagalog platform voice yet, so the playground uses Liz, a voice recorded in another language: the Tagalog text is read correctly, in that voice's accent. For a local accent, clone a native Tagalog speaker from a 10-second recording and use that voice for every clip.
Sign up free, then send Tagalog 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.
Write the voice-over the way Filipinos say it, with po and opo and English words such as na-receive and mag-check, and play it above. Sign up free to make longer voice-overs and download them; a voice cloned from a 10-second recording keeps the same narrator across videos.
About Filipino (Tagalog)
Filipino is the national language of the Philippines, based on Tagalog and written in the Latin alphabet. Spoken Filipino is full of po and opo, the respect markers that make a sentence polite ("Salamat po"), and of Spanish-origin words for time and money: alas-tres (three o'clock), Lunes (Monday), piso (peso). Numbers often switch languages too: a price might be said in English, a date in Spanish-derived a-kinse (the fifteenth).
Most Filipinos in cities speak Taglish, switching between Tagalog and English inside a sentence: "Na-receive ko na po yung order, pero kulang ng isa." English verbs even take Tagalog affixes, as in na-receive and mag-check. The Philippines is also one of the world's largest BPO and contact-centre hubs, and local banks, e-wallets and telcos increasingly serve customers in Filipino rather than English only. Pāṇini reads Taglish without switching accent at each English word.
Use cases
Outsourcing and in-house contact centres in Manila and Cebu add Filipino and Taglish voice lines next to English ones.
Payment apps and lenders send due-date and cash-in reminders in the Taglish customers already read in their apps.
Remittance firms and airlines serve Filipino workers and families in the Gulf, Hong Kong and North America.
For creators
Taglish is how Filipino YouTubers and Reels creators actually talk, and a voice that changes accent at every English word sounds dubbed. Write the script in Taglish, keep the po and the English verbs as they are, and play it above. Liz is not a native Filipino voice; for a Filipino accent across a channel, clone a native speaker from a 10-second recording, which the free account includes once. As a Tagalog AI voice generator, free to start, that covers Shorts, Reels and longer vlogs, Tagalog voice over AI keeps the same narrator in every video, and the Tagalog text to speech MP3 is yours to download.
10,000 free text-to-speech characters and one free voice clone that speaks every language, no card required. That is about 11.7 minutes of narration, measured with Liz on Tagalog text. The player above plays in your browser only, so you can check the voice with no account. To save the audio, sign up free: the dashboard saves each clip as a WAV file, and the API returns MP3 when you set "output_format": "mp3". More for video makers on the creators page.

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 Filipino (Tagalog), 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 Filipino (Tagalog) script.
Your accent comes with it: a clone sounds like you speaking Filipino (Tagalog), 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 Tagalog 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).
