5 million people speak it every day. Not a single AI system supports our language well. We're changing that. Open API, free tier, production-ready.
Built for production. Ready for real applications.
Every voice is customizable. Fine-tune via API or SDK.
Set mood programmatically — friendly, professional, excited, calm, empathetic, narrative.
Mix dialect characteristics. 80% Zurich + 20% Bern. Generate naturally-sounding regional variations.
Custom dictionaries for brand names, technical terms, and abbreviations. ZHAW, SBB, Migros — all correct.
Swiss German has no standard orthography. The same word can be written ten different ways. Our model processes all of them and produces the correct audio.
Not sure which dialect your text is? The model detects it automatically. Or force a specific one.
Generate dialogues with different voices in a single request. Different speakers, different dialects. Perfect for podcasts, audiobooks, training simulations, and interactive stories.
Custom pronunciation rules for brand names, technical terms, abbreviations, and edge cases.
"ZHAW"→/tset-ha-a-ve/"SBB"→/es-be-be/"Migros"→/mi-grohs/"Coop"→/kohp/"Züri HB"→/tsüri ha-be/Generate up to 10 minutes of continuous speech per request. Articles, reports, audiobook chapters.
Send standard German text and receive authentic Swiss German audio output. The model translates the pronunciation, not just the text.
Enterprise plan: provide 30+ minutes of recorded speech and receive your own voice clone in every supported dialect. Your brand, your voice.
Every existing TTS reads standard German with a fake accent. We generate real Swiss German speech.

--output greeting.mp3Our own model, real dialects, and an API that just works.
No relabeled German or foreign model. We trained our own speech model from the ground up on Swiss German — that's why it sounds real.
High German or any Swiss spelling — our normalisation automatically maps your text to the correct pronunciation. No rule set to learn.
From Zürich to Valais, trained on real Swiss speakers. No generic accent filters — authentic voices.
Simple REST API with a bearer key and Python SDK. Integrated in minutes, up to 10,000 characters per request.
MP3, WAV, OGG, FLAC and PCM. Speed from 0.5× to 2×. Batch processing for many texts at once.
Your text and audio are processed for synthesis and not stored — never logged, never used for training.
Built in Switzerland, under Swiss law (nDSG). A direct line to the people who built it — we pick up the phone.
On request, we train a model on your own or your brand's voice — the same technique we used to build ours.
No credit card required for the free tier. Upgrade when you need more.
For private, non-commercial use only.
For commercial use — from individuals to startups.
For organisations with scale requirements.
Yes. The model accepts both Swiss German and standard German as input. When you specify a dialect, it produces authentic Swiss German audio even from standard German input text.
Swiss German has no official orthography. People write the same word in ten different ways. Our model handles all common spelling variants and produces consistent, correct audio, regardless of how the text is written.
Swiss German speakers frequently mix in standard German, English, and French. We handle this through a phoneme dictionary: it lets you define the pronunciation of foreign words, brand names, and technical terms so they come out correctly and in the right Swiss German sound.
On the Enterprise plan, yes. Provide 30+ minutes of recorded speech and we create a custom voice clone in every supported dialect. Perfect for brand voices and media companies.
Your text and audio are processed only for synthesis and not stored afterwards. We don't log your content and never use it for training. As a Swiss company, we're subject to the nDSG.
Yes. The API returns standard audio (WAV, PCM, MP3) that you can feed into phone systems and IVR. For a specific telephony integration, just talk to us directly.
