There is no native Najdi Arabic platform voice yet, so the playground uses Nour, a voice recorded in another language: the Najdi Arabic text is read correctly, in that voice's accent. For a local accent, clone a native Najdi Arabic speaker from a 10-second recording and use that voice for every clip.
Sign up free, then send Najdi 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 Najdi Arabic
Najdi is the dialect of the Saudi heartland and of the capital, Riyadh, so it is the Arabic many Saudi brands and service lines speak. Its everyday words are easy to spot: "وش" (what), "وشلونك؟" (how are you?), "أبشر" (literally "good news", meaning "certainly, consider it done") and "يا هلا" (welcome). ق is usually a hard g, and older or rural speakers may still pronounce the feminine "you" ending ـك as ts, as in "عليتس" for عليكِ. MSA would say ماذا, كيف حالك and الآن where a Najdi speaker says وش, وشلونك and الحين.
Riyadh customers write to companies in a mix of Najdi and English, "وش رقم التراكنق؟" (what's the tracking number?), "الكاش باك", "الأبلكيشن", and Pāṇini reads that mix in one voice. On a call, "أبشر" in the right accent makes a request feel handled; the same sentence in formal MSA, or in Hejazi or Egyptian, reminds a Riyadh customer that the agent is not from there.
Use cases
Online retailers and delivery companies confirm orders, delivery windows and cash on delivery in the dialect of central Saudi Arabia.
Saudi banks and payment apps call about card activation, instalments and suspicious transactions, in the Najdi words their customers use.
Hospitals and clinics in Riyadh and Qassim confirm, move and remind patients of appointments in Najdi.

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 Najdi 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 Najdi Arabic script.
Your accent comes with it: a clone sounds like you speaking Najdi 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 Najdi 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).
