What is Kuwaiti Arabic text to speech?

Kuwait has an outsized presence in Gulf media: Kuwaiti drama and TV made the dialect familiar across the Gulf. Shops, restaurants and podcasters choose a Kuwaiti voice to talk to their audience in its everyday language.

Kuwaiti features include «شلون», «شنو» and «جذي» (like this), jim turning into y in words like «ريّال» and «يا» (he came), and kaf sometimes pronounced ch. Choosing Kuwaiti in Vocla reads your script with this pronunciation rather than MSA.

Tips for writing in Kuwaiti Arabic

  • Write «شلون», «شنو» and «جذي» as you say them, not «كيف», «ماذا» and «هكذا».

  • For podcasts and conversations, split the script into short sentences with commas for natural pauses, or use Text to Dialogue for several speakers.

  • Write amounts in dinars as words when you need a specific reading.
