# German Text to Speech

German runs on a different, much smaller engine than our other languages, with a single voice called Eva. It downloads only 20 MB and stays in your browser, so your text is private. The trade-off is sound quality. Eva is understandable but thinner than the other voices, and our own rules can misread rare compounds.

Runs on your device

## How it works

1. Paste your German text, up to 3,000 characters.
2. Eva is the only voice, so there is nothing to choose.
3. Make the speech, listen for odd compound words, and download the MP3.

## Key facts

- **Voice**: Eva, on your device
- **First download**: About 20 MB, then kept by your browser
- **Sound**: Low-bandwidth model, clear but plain
- **Numbers**: Digits are read one at a time, so write numbers as words

## Common uses

- Proofread a German text by hearing it.
- Practise German listening with your own material.
- Make a quick internal voice-over where studio sound does not matter.

## Questions

### Why does it sound less rich than the other languages?

Our main voice engine has no German voice, so German uses a small model. It was the best-licensed option we could clear, and it trades fidelity for size.

### Are long compound words read correctly?

Common ones usually are. Pronunciation comes from our own rules, so rare compounds and foreign words can be stressed wrongly.

### Is there a server voice for German?

No. Eva is the only German voice, and it runs in your browser.
