What to know about Modern Standard Arabic

  • The safest choice for pan-Arab audiences, audiobooks, e-learning and official content.

  • Tashkeel resolves ambiguous words; Vocla does not count diacritics toward your credits.

  • Optional automatic tashkeel adds diacritics to ambiguous words before synthesis.

Tips for better results

  1. 1

    Add tashkeel to names, classical vocabulary and words with several readings.

  2. 2

    Write numbers in words when the grammatical case matters, e.g. «ثلاثة كتب» versus «ثلاث روايات».

  3. 3

    Use punctuation deliberately: commas for short pauses, full stops for longer ones.

When Modern Standard Arabic is the right choice

Modern Standard Arabic is understood in every Arab country and is the language of books, schools, news and official communication. It is the safe choice when your audience spans several countries, or when the content is formal, educational or literary.

Typical projects include e-learning courses, audiobooks, documentaries, news summaries, accessibility audio for written content and corporate announcements.

Tashkeel, numbers and case endings

Fusha is where tashkeel matters most. Add diacritics to names, classical vocabulary and words with more than one reading, and to passive verbs that look like active ones. Vocla never counts diacritics toward your credits, and automatic tashkeel can vowel ambiguous words for you to review.

Write numbers in words when gender or case agreement matters, for example «ثلاثة كتب» and «ثلاث روايات». Use commas for short pauses and full stops for longer ones.

A narrator for long-form content

For long scripts, generate chapter by chapter or scene by scene so you can review and regenerate parts without redoing everything. Keep one narrator for a whole course or book.

Export MP3 on any plan, or WAV from Starter up. MSA also works well for formal phone menus serving several nationalities; the IVR guide shows how to convert files for a phone system.

Questions about Modern Standard Arabic voices

Is MSA the same as Classical Arabic?

Not exactly. Modern Standard Arabic is the contemporary written standard used in media and education; Classical Arabic is the language of older literature. MSA voices read both, and tashkeel helps with classical texts.

Do I need to add full tashkeel to my script?

No. Vowel only the words that could be misread. Fully vowelled text is slower to write and rarely sounds better.

Does tashkeel cost extra credits?

No. Diacritics are not counted toward your credits.

Is MSA a good choice for a pan-Arab IVR?

Yes. If callers come from several countries, a clear MSA voice is understood by everyone.
