01
A Voice for Every Kind of Script
Dessa AI offers 24 voices, and the best way to choose is to run your own opening line through two or three of them. Scripts sound more natural with short sentences, numbers written as words and commas where a speaker would breathe. If none of the voices feels right, try AI voice cloning and use your own.
- 24 voices to choose from
- Price visible before each generation
- Instant playback on the page
- Every voice works with every language
02
Scripts in 39 Languages
English, Spanish, Japanese, Arabic and the rest of the 39 languages all work the same way. Dessa AI detects what you wrote, so a paragraph in French comes back spoken in French with no settings to change. If your script mixes languages or leans on loanwords, choose the language yourself.
- Automatic language detection
- Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian
- Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Hindi
- Arabic, Russian, Turkish, Vietnamese and more

Is the audio cleared for commercial projects?
Yes. Speech made with paid credits can appear in YouTube videos, podcasts, courses and ads, and carries no watermark. The script remains your responsibility, and Dessa AI may not be used to impersonate a real person.
What kind of file will I get?
Dessa AI gives you a 44.1 kHz WAV file each time. A private copy also goes to Settings, Files, where you can download it again or delete it whenever you like.
Is there a limit on script length?
Yes. Each Dessa AI generation takes up to 2,000, 3,500 or 5,000 characters, according to your plan. Longer projects can be split into parts, and the WAV files joined in your editor.
Can it read in my own voice?
Yes, through Dessa AI voice cloning. Record or upload up to 3 minutes of your voice and save it, and your scripts can then be read in that voice. Reading with a cloned voice uses 2 credits per 160 characters.
