Can I get Ukrainian text read aloud?
Yes. Paste Ukrainian text into the box above, choose Polina or Ostap, and press generate. The voices read proper Ukrainian, not Russian with an Ukrainian accent, so letters like і, ї, є and ґ come out the way they should.
Ukrainian is heard far beyond Ukraine. Canada has one of the largest Ukrainian communities in the world, especially in Winnipeg, Edmonton and Toronto, and the US has long-standing communities in Chicago, New York, Philadelphia and Cleveland. Since 2022, many more families have settled in Poland, Germany, the UK, Canada and the US. Host families, schools, employers and charities often need short messages in Ukrainian, and Ukrainian audio helps those messages land.
Which Ukrainian voices are available?
| Voice | Gender | Locale | Sounds like |
|---|---|---|---|
| Polina | Female | Ukraine | Clear and friendly, good for lessons and announcements |
| Ostap | Male | Ukraine | Calm and steady, good for narration and instructions |
Use the speed slider to make either voice slower for learners or quicker for social clips.

Ukrainian sample sentence
“Добрий день! Ласкаво просимо до нашої школи. Заняття починаються о дев’ятій ранку.”
English: “Good afternoon! Welcome to our school. Classes start at nine in the morning.”
This is the kind of message a school district in Ohio or a community center in Manitoba might send to new parents. Paste it above, play it with Polina, and adjust the time and place for your own use.
Tips for Ukrainian scripts
- Don’t mix in Russian letters. Ukrainian has no ы, э or ъ. If they appear, the text was probably machine-converted from Russian. Fix them for a clean read.
- Use the apostrophe correctly. Words like дев’ять (nine) and м’ясо (meat) need it to separate sounds.
- Mark stress if a word is ambiguous. Замок can mean castle or lock depending on stress. Rephrase or add context if needed.
- Spell out numbers and dates. Двадцять доларів (twenty dollars) reads better than “$20”.
- Keep sentences short for instructions and safety messages.
Learning Ukrainian with audio
Many Americans and Canadians with Ukrainian roots want to reconnect with the language their grandparents spoke. Volunteers helping new arrivals pick up basic phrases too. A simple method: write 10 phrases you use every week, generate each one as a separate MP3, and listen during your commute. Our pronunciation practice page has more ideas.
Teachers can go a step further. An Ukrainian Saturday school in Chicago or Winnipeg can turn each week’s reading into a slow clip and a normal-speed clip, so children hear the text twice before reading it out loud in class. ESL teachers working with Ukrainian students can do the reverse: make an Ukrainian clip that explains an English assignment, so parents at home understand what is expected. Short, clear messages in the family’s own language often get a much better response than a printed note.
If you need to turn an Ukrainian recording into text, try speech to text.
