AI accent generator FAQs
Is there a free accent generator?
Yes. Cartesia's AI accent generator is free and needs no account: type up to 500 characters and hear them in a British, American, Australian, Indian, South African, or New Zealand accent. A free Cartesia account adds text-to-speech credits for creating audio files; see current plans for allowances.
Which accents does Cartesia's AI accent generator support?
British, American, Australian, Indian, South African, and New Zealand English. Each accent has its own set of voices, so you can compare the same text across accents and across voices within one accent.
How do I change the accent of a text-to-speech voice?
Each Cartesia voice has its own accent, so the quickest way is to pick a voice with the accent you want. To adapt a voice you already use, the Localize Voice API creates a new version of it in another accent with its own voice ID.
Can I download audio from the AI accent generator?
Yes, with a free Cartesia account. Create the file in the Cartesia Playground, or call the text-to-speech bytes endpoint, which returns MP3, WAV, or raw audio.
Can I clone my own voice with my accent?
Yes. Instant voice cloning starts with 10 seconds of clean speech from one speaker. Sonic 3.6 can use up to 60 seconds to better retain an accent. Check the cloning guide and plan availability.
Can I use Cartesia's accent voices in my app?
Yes. Send your text and a voice ID to Cartesia's text-to-speech API and it returns the audio, streamed or as a file. Start with the text-to-speech API reference for request examples and output formats.
Can I use AI accent voices in commercial projects?
Cartesia's paid plans include a commercial-use license. Check pricing and the terms of service for the terms that apply to your project.
