Chinese (Mandarin) Text to Speech

Mandarin text-to-speech lives or dies on tone: it has four lexical tones plus a neutral tone, and getting the contour wrong turns "mā" (mother) into "mǎ" (horse), so the model must predict pitch per syllable, not just per sentence. Tone sandhi adds another layer — for example two third tones in a row shift the first to a rising tone, and the words "一" (yī) and "不" (bù) change tone depending on what follows. Because Hanzi carry no spaces and many characters are polyphonic (多音字), high-quality Chinese synthesis depends heavily on word segmentation and grapheme-to-phoneme disambiguation from context.

Chinese (Mandarin) Text to Speech — FAQ

Yes. You can paste either Simplified (mainland/Singapore) or Traditional (Taiwan/Hong Kong) text; both are read in Mandarin pronunciation.

The model predicts each syllable's tone contour from context and applies tone sandhi rules, so sequences like third-tone pairs and the special cases of 一 and 不 come out naturally.

Mostly yes. Multi-reading characters such as 行 (xíng vs háng) or 长 (cháng vs zhǎng) are disambiguated from surrounding words, though rare proper nouns can still be ambiguous.

These voices are Standard Mandarin (Putonghua). Cantonese uses a different tone system and pronunciation and is not the same as Mandarin TTS.
