About the Spanish language
Spanish is the official language of 20 countries and the second most spoken native language in the world. Spain and Latin America share one written standard, but pronunciation differs: Spain uses the "th" sound for c and z, while most of Latin America uses an s sound, and vocabulary changes from country to country.
Spanish is spoken by about 560 million people and belongs to the Indo-European, Romance language family. On Speechma Pro you can choose from 142 Spanish voices: 12 HD voices, 67 standard voices, 60 styled voices and 3 natural voices. Every voice has its own page with a real sample, so you can compare them before you start.
Which Spanish voice should you choose?
- For videos, audiobooks and ads: start with the 12 HD voices, such as Adam Spanish HD and Elliot Spanish HD. They have the richest, most natural sound.
- For long documents, lessons and phone messages: the 67 standard voices, such as Alonso and Andrew Spanish, stay clear and consistent over long texts.
- For a specific character: the 60 styled voices are each made for one job, from luxury brand, fitness coach, corporate, youtube and character. Try Alejandro Rojas and Andrea Molina.
- For casual, conversational content: the 3 natural voices, such as Alex García and Dora, talk rather than read.
- For a local audience: pick a voice from your listeners' country. Spanish voices here cover 21 accents.

How to write Spanish text that sounds natural
- Use the opening marks ¿ and ¡ so questions and exclamations get the right rising or lively tone.
- Keep the accent marks (á, é, í, ó, ú, ñ); "papá" and "papa" are different words and are read differently.
- Choose a voice from the country of your audience: a Mexican voice for Mexico and the United States, a Spanish voice for Spain.
- Write numbers in words when the gender matters, for example "una hora" or "veintiún años".
