Why a Swiss voice
Swiss customers notice when a message sounds like Germany. Swiss Standard German has its own melody and pronunciation, and a voice with that sound feels closer for a company in Zurich, a practice in Bern or a shop in Basel. With HancVoice you pick that sound per project.
Swiss High German, not dialect
The voices read Standard German text with a Swiss sound, the way Swiss speakers read the news or present in a meeting. They are not tuned for Swiss German dialect (Mundart), so write your text in Standard German. Swiss spelling works as written, including „ss“ instead of „ß“ and words such as „Velo“ or „parkieren“.
Tips for a natural read
Write numbers and prices the way they are spoken („neunzehn Franken neunzig“), spell out abbreviations and set the stress on a name right in the editor. Listen to two or three voices with the same script: they differ in pitch and energy. For Austria there are Austrian voices.
