# Japanese Text to Speech

ToolSugar cannot read Japanese aloud yet. Voices here run inside your browser, and we could not find a Japanese voice that works there with licence terms we could clear. Choose Japanese in the tool and it tells you there is no voice, and the run button stays off. Nothing is sent anywhere.

## How it works

1. Open the tool. Japanese is selected, and a notice says that no voice is available.
2. If you have a recording of Japanese speech, use Audio to Video to turn it into an MP4.
3. If you can use another language, change the language in the tool and carry on from there.

## Key facts

- **Status**: No Japanese voice is available
- **Why**: No voice cleared for commercial use runs in the browser yet
- **What still works**: Audio to Video with a Japanese recording of your own
- **Other languages**: English, Spanish, French, German, Hindi, Italian, Portuguese (Brazil)

## Common uses

- Turn Japanese narration you recorded yourself into a shareable video.
- Make a version of your script in another supported language.
- Check back here, because this page will change when a voice is added.

## Questions

### Will the tool produce any Japanese audio?

No. It shows a notice and will not start a job, so you never get silence or a wrong voice in place of Japanese.

### Why not use a voice meant for another language?

It would mispronounce nearly everything. Turning written Japanese into sounds also needs a large pronunciation dictionary, which a voice built for another language does not have.

### What should I use today?

A dedicated Japanese speech service, or a recording of a real speaker. You can bring that recording here and make a video from it with Audio to Video.
