अहाँक Sonex ticket booking भ' गेल अछि, गाड़ी सोम दिन साँझ छह बजे खुजत। हम SMS पर PNR पठा देने छी, ओकरा सम्हारि क' राखब आ आधा घंटा पहिने पहुँचि जायब।

Vaidehi, a native Maithili platform voice, reads the playground above. Any Sonex Labs voice can also read Maithili, keeping its own accent, and a voice cloned from a 10-second recording of a Maithili speaker carries that speaker's accent.
Sign up free, then send Maithili 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 Maithili
Maithili is a scheduled language of India with its own literature, but few commercial speech products cover it. Pāṇini TTS has a dedicated Maithili platform voice, Vaidehi, who reads every sample on this page.
Maithili's respectful forms are part of how it sounds polite: अहाँ for "you", छी and अछि for "am" and "is", and endings like सकब ने. A call that uses them sounds like it comes from someone local.
Maithili and Hindi
A call that uses Maithili's respectful forms sounds like it comes from someone local. The playground on this page uses Vaidehi, a native Maithili voice.
Use cases
Appointment and scheme calls for Mithila, where many listeners prefer Maithili to Hindi.
EMI and account reminders for customers in north Bihar and the Nepal Terai.
Maithili narration for stories, songs and educational content.
For creators
Maithili creators make videos on Mithila painting, Chhath, food and village life, for viewers in Bihar and Nepal who rarely hear their own language from an AI voice. Vaidehi is a native Maithili voice, so अहाँ, छी and अछि carry the respect they should. Try her as a Maithili AI voice generator, free, in the playground above, and sign up to save clips. Maithili voice over AI sounds most natural when the script is written as spoken Maithili, and the Maithili 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 roughly ten minutes of narration, an estimate based on the Hindi rate we measured (Maithili itself has not been timed). 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 intro
नमस्कार सभ गोटे! आजुक वीडियो मे अहाँ सभ केँ मिथिलाक एकटा एहन चीज देखाएब, जे बहुत कम लोक जनैत छथि।
Hello everyone! In today's video I'll show you something from Mithila that very few people know about.

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