Sample scripts
Three Marathi scripts to start from
Each one fits in a single play. Hear it, then copy it into the playground and change it to your own topic.
Shorts hook · 111 characters · about 9 s
One habit at the vegetable market
थांबा! पुढच्या वेळी भाजी घ्यायला जाण्याआधी ही एक गोष्ट लक्षात ठेवा. यामुळे दर महिन्याला शेकडो रुपये वाचू शकतात.
Wait! Before you next go to buy vegetables, keep this one thing in mind. It can save you hundreds of rupees every month.
How to read it: A one-word opener (थांबा!) followed by the promise works well in Marathi Shorts. Each character of Marathi takes a little longer to say than one of Hindi, so a 15-second hook is about 185 characters.
Story narration · 165 characters · about 13 s
A lamp in an empty Konkan wada
त्या रात्री कोकणातल्या त्या जुन्या वाड्यात कोणीच राहत नव्हतं. तरीही दर अमावस्येला वरच्या खिडकीत एक दिवा लागलेला दिसायचा, आणि गावातले लोक त्या रस्त्याने जाणं टाळायचे.
Nobody lived in that old wada in the Konkan. Yet every new-moon night a lamp could be seen in the upstairs window, and the villagers avoided that road.
How to read it: Spoken endings (नव्हतं, जाणं) keep a story sounding told rather than read. Atharva's voice suits slow horror and folk stories; give the last clause its own comma so the voice slows into it.
Explainer · 157 characters · about 13 s
Your first investment: don't put it all in one place
शेअर बाजारात पहिल्यांदा पैसे गुंतवताय? मग आधी एक गोष्ट समजून घ्या. एकाच कंपनीत सगळे पैसे टाकू नका. थोडे थोडे पैसे वेगवेगळ्या ठिकाणी गुंतवले तर धोका कमी होतो.
Investing in the share market for the first time? Then understand one thing first. Don't put all your money into one company. Spreading small amounts across different places lowers the risk.
How to read it: Finance explainers in Marathi land best as a question, a pause, then short instructions. Write amounts and times the way they are said (साडेदहा, दोन लाख) rather than as digits.
More ready-made scripts, with timings, are in the voice-over script templates.
Instagram Reels
AI voice for Instagram Reels
Marathi Reels lean on food, travel, Pune and Mumbai city life, forts and monsoon treks, and festival videos. Write them in the spoken Marathi you use on camera (जाताय, येईल) rather than the written forms, which sound like a notice.
Marathi takes longer to say per character than Hindi. With Rujuta we measured about 747 characters a minute, so a 30-second Reel holds about 370 characters, against about 470 in Hindi. A Hindi script translated word for word will run long, so cut it down.

With Rujuta at 747 characters per minute, measured on 24 October 2026 at speed 1.0 (normal speed). Another voice can run a little faster or slower.
A monsoon trek Reel · 173 characters · about 14 s
पावसाळ्यात ट्रेकला जाताय? मग बॅगेत या तीन गोष्टी नक्की ठेवा. एक, जास्तीचे मोजे. दोन, फोनसाठी प्लास्टिकची पिशवी. तीन, थोडा सुका खाऊ. रील सेव्ह करा, पुढच्या ट्रेकला कामी येईल.
Going on a trek in the monsoon? Then make sure these three things are in your bag. One, spare socks. Two, a plastic bag for your phone. Three, a few dry snacks. Save the Reel, it will help on your next trek.
How to read it: List Reels work when each item is its own short sentence. The full stops give the voice a pause and the edit a natural place to cut to the next shot.
- 1
Save the audio
Play the Reel script here until the read is right, then sign up free, generate it in the dashboard and tap Download audio to save a WAV file. One clip per shot is easier to line up than one long file. - 2
Add it in Edits, VN or InShot
Import the saved file into VN, InShot or Instagram's Edits app:- Instagram's Edits app: open your project, tap Audio in the toolbar at the bottom, then tap the folder icon to import the file. To set how loud a layer is, tap it, then Volume. Instagram Help: Edit your video on Edits.
- VN: in the music library, open Yours, tap the ⋮ (More) menu and choose File App to import the file. Tap the music clip on the timeline to set its volume. VN Help: Import music and audio.
- InShot: add the file through InShot's music tools, which take music and voice-overs. InShot has no written help page for this, so the name of the import option can differ between versions. InShot on the App Store.

Export and post it as a reel
Keep the project vertical (9:16) and export it. In Instagram, tap + (Create), choose Reel, pick the video from your camera roll, tap Next, then Share (Instagram Help). If you edited in Edits, its export screen can also share the video straight to Instagram as a reel (Edits help).
These steps follow each app's own pages as checked on 26 October 2026. Button names move between app versions and can differ between iPhone and Android, so if one is not where it says, the linked page has the current steps.
- Say the count first. Name the number of items in the first line (तीन गोष्टी) so viewers know how long to stay.
- One item, one shot. Generate the list as one clip per item if you want to move the shots around later without re-recording.
- Pick the voice for the Reel. Rujuta suits food and travel Reels; Atharva's expressive read suits history, forts and storytime.

Voices
Marathi voices for creators
Marathi has two native voices in the public catalogue. Both read Marathi in Devanagari, with spoken or written endings as you write them.
How to
Make a Marathi voice-over video in 5 steps
- 1
Write the script
Write in the Marathi you speak, with spoken endings (करतोय, गेलं) for vlogs and written ones for documentaries. Times read best in words: साडेदहा for 10:30, सव्वा and पावणे for quarter past and quarter to.
- 2
Pick a voice
Play the same line in two or three of the voices on this page and keep the one that fits your channel. Use one voice for every video, so viewers learn to recognise it.
- 3
Play it, then save the audio
Each play takes up to 220 characters, about 18 seconds of Marathi, and plays in your browser only, so use it to check how the voice reads your lines. To save the audio, sign up free: the dashboard draws on your 10,000 free characters and saves each clip as a WAV file, and the API returns MP3 when you ask for "output_format": "mp3".
- 4
Add it in your video editor
Import the saved WAV or MP3 files into VN, InShot or Instagram's Edits app as audio. Lay the clips on the audio track in order, trim the gaps, and line each sentence up with its shot.
- 5
Upload
Export and upload to YouTube, Shorts, Instagram Reels or Facebook. If the voice is realistic enough that viewers could take it for a real person, tick YouTube's altered or synthetic content label. YouTube’s help page explains when it applies.
Commercial use
Use Marathi AI voice-overs on monetised channels
- Use the audio in YouTube videos, Shorts, Instagram Reels, podcasts and ads, including on monetised channels.
- This applies to the free tier and to paid credits. No attribution to Sonex Labs is needed.
- You are responsible for your script, and for disclosing realistic synthetic content where a platform asks you to.
The full wording is in our terms of service.
YouTube
Can a channel with an AI voice be monetised?
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
Your own voice, speaking Marathi
Clone your voice from a 10-second recording. Your clone speaks Marathi, 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 Marathi script.
Your accent comes with it: a clone sounds like you speaking Marathi, 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.

Yes, after free sign-up. The playground on this page plays audio in your browser only, so use it to pick the voice. Once you sign up free, the dashboard saves each clip as a WAV file with Download audio, and the API returns MP3 when you set "output_format": "mp3".

Yes. Audio you generate, on the free tier or with paid credits, can be used on monetised YouTube channels, Shorts, Reels and in ads, with no attribution. YouTube limits mass-produced, repetitive videos, not AI voices, so write your own script and keep your edits original. The monetisation decision is YouTube's.
The audio you generate is yours to use, including commercially, with no attribution and no royalties to Sonex Labs. You are responsible for the script itself: if you read someone else's text, you need their permission.
The voices are expressive and follow your punctuation: a question mark lifts the line, an exclamation mark gives it energy, a full stop lets it settle and a comma adds a short pause. There are no emotion or style presets, so the script is where you shape the read. Developers can also set the pace with the API's speed parameter (0.5 to 2.0).
Yes. The page works in a phone browser: paste the script, pick a voice and play it to check the read. To save the audio, sign up free and use the dashboard in the same browser; it saves each clip as a WAV file you can add in VN, InShot or Instagram's Edits app. There is no app to install.
Yes. Record a 10-second sample and Pāṇini clones your voice; every free account includes one clone. Clone only your own voice, or a voice whose owner has agreed, and never a public figure.
Yes. A Sonex voice clone is not tied to the language it was recorded in. Type a Marathi script and your clone reads it in your own voice, with Marathi pronunciation. Your natural accent carries over, so it sounds like you speaking Marathi.
In words, the way they are said: साडेदहा for 10:30, सव्वा for quarter past, पावणे for quarter to, and दुपारी दोन वाजता with the part of the day. Digits are read too, but words give you control over exactly what is said.
Written Marathi packs more sound into each character. With Rujuta we measured about 747 characters per minute of finished audio, against about 937 for Hindi with Priya, so the same 10,000 free characters make about 13.4 minutes of Marathi.
