Chinese text-to-speech
Turn Chinese text into natural-sounding Mandarin speech without a microphone or studio. Enter your script, hear the result within seconds, then publish the narration or a finished video for lessons, adverts or training.
Chinese text-to-speech features for natural-sounding Mandarin audio
Natural-sounding Mandarin AI voices in every style
Choose from more than 300 voices across over 175 languages and dialects, including natural-sounding Mandarin options for narration, adverts and lessons. Preview each voice using your own script in the AI voice generator, then use the same voice across all your projects for a consistent sound.
Tone-accurate Chinese text-to-speech
Mandarin meaning changes with tone, and robotic readers often get it wrong. HeyGen's AI voices deliver accurate tonal contours, natural rhythm and clean pauses, so listeners hear speech that sounds recorded rather than generated. Adjust the speed and delivery directly in the script until it sounds right.
Clone your voice to speak Mandarin
Record a short sample and HeyGen creates a voice that reads Chinese scripts in your own voice. Founders, teachers and creators can maintain one recognisable voice across English and Mandarin content, so audiences worldwide hear the same person in every market and channel.
Chinese voice-over synchronised with video
Pair Chinese narration with an on-screen presenter whose mouth movements match every syllable of Mandarin. HeyGen generates AI lip sync at phoneme level, so the Chinese voice-over looks filmed rather than dubbed, ready for product demonstrations, explainer videos and company announcements.
Edit Chinese scripts as you would a document
Correct a line by retyping it. AI Studio treats your script as the definitive source, so changing one sentence regenerates the narration and corresponding visuals without the need to record anything again. Updates that once required booking a studio session now take just one edit.
How teams use Chinese AI voices
Mandarin e-learning course narration
Recording course audio in Mandarin means studios, retakes and voice talent. Paste your lesson script, choose a voice and publish narrated modules the same day, then update them by editing the text.
Chinese social media video clips
Short-form content for Chinese-speaking audiences can stall without a fluent speaker on camera. Turn captions and scripts into clips using text-to-video, narrated in Mandarin and formatted for every platform.
Marketing for Chinese-speaking markets
Agencies quote lead times of several weeks for a single Mandarin campaign advert. Create product promotions and adverts with natural-sounding Chinese narration in minutes, then test several voices and opening lines without booking voice talent twice.
Training videos for teams in China
Written SOPs often go unread by frontline teams. Turn instructions into narrated training clips, or use the audio-to-video converter with existing recordings to give Mandarin audio a visual format that employees are more likely to complete.
Chinese text-to-speech for learners
Learners need to hear the correct tones rather than guess them from characters. Generate clear Mandarin audio for vocabulary lists, dialogues and reading passages, then replay difficult lines at your chosen pace.
Localise existing videos into Chinese
A completed English-language video would usually need to be filmed again for the Chinese market. Instead, use the AI video translator: it supports more than 175 languages, with lip-synchronised dubbing that preserves the original speaker's voice and timing.

What is Chinese text-to-speech, and how does HeyGen's version work?
Chinese text-to-speech converts written Chinese into spoken Mandarin audio. HeyGen generate it from your script using natural-sounding AI voices, then pair the narration with visuals, producing a video that is ready to publish rather than simply an audio file.
Will the Mandarin tones be accurate, or will words be pronounced incorrectly?
Tones are reproduced correctly. HeyGen's voices are designed for natural Mandarin delivery, with tonal contours and pacing that preserve the intended meaning. Preview any voice using your own script and adjust the delivery before rendering, so nothing is published without being heard first.
How can I turn a Chinese script into a narrated video?
Paste the script, choose a Mandarin voice and generate. HeyGen match the visuals to your text in AI Studio, so a single script produces synchronised narration and video, whilst editing the text regenerates both at once.
Can I use simplified and traditional Chinese characters?
Yes. Paste either script into the editor and the selected voice will read it aloud, so teams producing content for audiences in mainland China, Taiwan and Hong Kong can maintain a version for each market and render each one in minutes.
Why choose HeyGen rather than other Chinese text-to-speech tools?
Most online Chinese text-to-speech tools only produce an MP3. HeyGen brings the same narration into a complete video platform, with lip-synchronised presenters, translation into more than 175 languages, and text-based editing, so you can turn Chinese audio into finished content all in one place.
Is AI narration effective for localisation at scale?
Yes. Workday reduced localisation time from weeks to minutes and doubled capacity without increasing headcount, producing each video in 10–15 languages with HeyGen. Read the Workday customer story to learn about the full workflow.
Is HeyGen's Chinese text-to-speech free, and what do paid plans include?
You can start for free. HeyGen's Free plan lets you try Mandarin voices and generate content, Creator plans start at $24 per month for greater output, and pricing scales up to bespoke Enterprise plans for high-volume localisation teams.
Can HeyGen voice a long Chinese script in a single take?
Yes. A single generation supports up to 30 minutes of continuous video, with the voice remaining consistent throughout. This means lectures, courses and webinars can be rendered without splitting the script or stitching clips together.
Can I dub a video I've already recorded into Chinese?
Yes. Upload the footage and HeyGen will translate the speech into Chinese with lip-synchronised dubbing that preserves the original speaker's voice and timing, so the result feels native rather than subtitled or overdubbed.
Can I clone my own voice to narrate Chinese content?
Yes. Record a short sample and AI voice cloning creates a voice that reads Chinese scripts whilst retaining your tone, so audiences across different markets hear the same recognisable person in every video you publish.
