There is no native Omani Arabic platform voice yet, so the playground uses Tariq, a voice recorded in another language: the Omani Arabic text is read correctly, in that voice's accent. For a local accent, clone a native Omani Arabic speaker from a 10-second recording and use that voice for every clip.
Sign up free, then send Omani 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 Omani Arabic
Omani Arabic is related to the Gulf dialects next door but has features of its own, and speech in Muscat, the interior around Nizwa, the Batinah coast and Dhofar differs noticeably. Omanis ask "شحالك؟" (how are you?), and words such as "زين" (good) and "باكر" (tomorrow) are shared with the wider Gulf. ق is often a hard g, and the interior keeps older features such as separate feminine plural forms that many other dialects have lost.
Oman's history across the Indian Ocean, from Zanzibar to Baluchistan, brought Swahili, Baluchi and South Asian words into everyday speech, and today's customer messages add English ("الرصيد" next to "top-up", "الأبليكيشن"). Pāṇini reads Arabic mixed with English in one voice. Omani callers notice when a voice sounds Emirati or Saudi rather than Omani, so a bank or telecom that sounds local stands out.
Use cases
Card, loan and payment reminders for customers of Omani banks, in Muscat's Arabic rather than a neighbouring dialect.
Recharge, bill and fibre installation calls for subscribers in Muscat, Sohar and Salalah.
Appointment reminders and service notices for hospitals and public services across the governorates.
Commercial use

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

Tariq, an Arabic voice, reads these samples; any voice can speak Omani Arabic, and you can clone a native speaker's voice from 10 seconds.
It is related and mutually understandable, but vocabulary and accent differ. Write the forms your Omani callers use, or clone an Omani voice.

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.
Yes. A Sonex voice clone is not tied to the language it was recorded in. Type a Omani Arabic script and your clone reads it in your own voice, with Omani Arabic pronunciation. Your natural accent carries over, so it sounds like you speaking Omani Arabic.
