Korean Voice

About Korean

Korean is spoken by approximately 80 million people worldwide, primarily in South Korea and North Korea, with significant diaspora communities in the United States, China, and Japan. Korean uses the Hangul writing system, a scientifically designed alphabet widely regarded as one of the most logical writing systems in the world. AI Narrator supports Standard Korean (ko-KR), delivering natural speech with correct honorific intonation.

Korean TTS Characteristics

Korean has several TTS-specific challenges: mandatory subject/object honorifics that affect verb endings and speech level, complex consonant assimilation rules (where neighboring sounds change based on context), and the distinction between aspirated, tense, and lax consonants. Korean also has unique sound changes at morpheme boundaries that native speakers apply automatically but TTS systems must learn. AI Narrator's Korean voice handles speech level changes naturally and applies correct assimilation rules.
