Languages

Archie can read other languages too

A Pāṇini TTS voice is not locked to one language. The language comes from the text you type, so Archie can read any of the 250+ languages Pāṇini TTS supports, including text that mixes two languages.

Archie's accent carries over: a script in another language sounds like a Australian English speaker reading it. That is useful for bilingual channels; for a native sound in another language, choose a voice recorded in it.

Commercial use

Use English 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.

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.
