Why an Austrian voice
Austria is a market of its own. Many Austrians notice right away when an ad, a phone menu or an explainer video sounds German-German, and an Austrian voice simply sounds closer for a shop in Vienna, a practice in Graz or a hotel in Tyrol. With HancVoice you choose that sound per project, without booking a speaker.
What the voices are, and what they are not
The Austrian voices read Standard German text with an Austrian sound, the way most Austrians speak at work. They are not dialect voices: write your text in Standard German, or in the words you want to hear, and listen before you publish. Words that are typical for Austria, such as „Jänner“, „heuer“ or „Topfen“, you simply write the way you use them.
Where Austrian voices are used
Phone menus and on-hold messages of Austrian companies, radio-style and social media ads, product videos for the Austrian market, e-learning for employees, announcements in shops and practices. For the whole DACH region you can keep one voice per market: an Austrian one for Austria, a Swiss one for Switzerland and a Standard German one for Germany.
Tips for a natural read
Write numbers, dates and prices the way they are spoken („zwölf Euro neunzig“), spell out abbreviations and set the stress on a name that sounds wrong right in the editor. Try the same script with two or three voices: the female and male voices differ a lot in pitch and energy.
