What is Iraqi Arabic text to speech?

Iraq has a large, active audience on YouTube, TikTok and Facebook, and much of its entertainment and educational content is in Iraqi Arabic. An Iraqi voice makes a clip feel close to the listener from the first sentence.

Vocla steers the voice to the Baghdadi dialect: «شلون», «شكو ماكو», «هسّه» (now), «هواية» (a lot), «كلش», «خوش» and «يمعود», with kaf becoming ch as in «چان» and qaf becoming g as in «گال».

Tips for writing in Iraqi Arabic

  • Write «هسّه», «هواية» and «شكو» as they are said.

  • If a word isn't read with the Iraqi sound you want, try spelling it as it is pronounced, such as «چان» or «گال», and check the preview.

  • In educational clips you can mix Baghdadi with MSA terms; choose the dialect that dominates the script.
