Italian Text to Speech
Generate Italian speech with two dedicated voices, one female and one male, that keep double consonants distinct and land the stress in words like città and perché. Then caption and export on the timeline.
Italian Text to Speech Features
EchoWave's Italian text to speech is used by language teachers, travel creators, and marketing teams around the world.
Italian AI voices
Italian speech that lands on a timeline, not in a downloads folder
Most Italian text to speech tools stop at an MP3 download. EchoWave generates the speech and hands you a full editor in the same tab, so the voiceover, footage, captions, and export live in one place. It is one language in our broader text to speech tool and AI voice generator, and it pairs with the add voice over to video workflow when you already have footage.

What you get
Built for Italian scripts, wired into an editor
Two honest voices, streaming generation, and every editing tool the finished video needs.
-
Italian text to speech that streams as it generates
Type or paste your Italian script and the audio starts playing while the model is still working, so you hear the opening line within moments. Rework a sentence, regenerate, and compare reads without waiting on a queue each time.
-
Two voices tuned for standard Italian
EchoWave ships one female and one male Italian voice out of a 63-voice catalog. That is a smaller lineup than a dedicated voice platform carries, and we would rather say so plainly. Both keep geminate consonants distinct, so sette never collapses into sete, and stressed final vowels in città, perché, and però land where they should.
-
Straight onto a multi-track timeline
The generated clip lands on the timeline next to your footage, where you can trim it, split it across scenes, nudge it against b-roll, and keyframe any layer. There is no exporting from one app and importing into another. See add voice over to video for the full workflow.
-
Captions that respect Italian accents
Auto-captions detect Italian speech automatically and timestamp every word. Accented vowels like à, è, ì, ò, and ù render correctly across all 176 caption presets, including word-by-word karaoke styles, and apostrophes in contractions like un'ora and l'audio come through intact.
-
Subtitle translation into 86 languages
On Pro, translate the Italian subtitle text into English, German, or any of 86 languages, or show bilingual dual subtitles with Italian and a translation on screen together. Translation changes the subtitle text only; it does not re-voice the audio track.
-
Audiograms and 93 visualizer styles
Give an audio-only piece something to look at. Pair the narration with a waveform or spectrum visualizer, add a title card, and an Italian podcast quote or audiobook excerpt becomes a postable video.
-
Echo drafts the busywork
Echo, the AI assistant inside the editor, has 39 tools and works on command: ask it to generate the voice over, caption the result in a karaoke preset, or split clips at scene changes. It saves a checkpoint before big changes, so one click reverts everything.
-
Clone your own voice on paid plans
If two stock voices are not enough, voice cloning is available as a paid feature. Record a sample of your own voice and keep one consistent narrator across a whole series. It sits alongside the rest of the AI voiceover generator toolkit.
How it works
How to convert Italian text to speech
From script to exported video in four steps, all in the browser.
-
Paste the Italian script
Open the EchoWave editor and paste your text into the voiceover panel, accents and apostrophes included. Short paragraphs are easier to re-record later than one long block.
-
Pick a voice and generate
Choose the female or male Italian voice and generate. The audio streams in as it is created; if a phrase reads flat, adjust the wording or punctuation and run it again.
-
Build the video around it
Trim and split the narration on the timeline, drop footage or AI-generated stills underneath, and run auto-captions so every word appears as it is spoken. If you add a music track, beat sync can snap your cuts to it.
-
Export and share
Free exports are 720p MP4 with a small removable EchoWave badge. Paid plans remove the badge and add 1080p up to 4K, plus audio-only MP3, M4A, WAV, and FLAC downloads.
Who uses it
What people make with Italian AI voices
-
Italian lessons and learner content
Script a dialogue, voice one side with the female voice and the other with the male voice, then slow the clip to 0.5x for beginner listening practice. Bilingual subtitles put Italian and English on screen together.
-
Travel and food channels
Narrate b-roll of Rome or a carbonara recipe without recording a take. Ken Burns pan-zoom keeps still photos moving under the voice.
-
Podcast clips and audiobook excerpts
Turn a quote from an Italian episode or short story into a video with a waveform visualizer and word-timed captions. Vertical 9:16 exports fit Reels and TikTok.
-
Marketing for the Italian market
Italian has over 60 million native speakers across Italy, San Marino, and Switzerland's Ticino. Build one template, then batch-render localized product videos from a CSV, up to 100 rows per run.
-
Re-voicing an English video in Italian
Auto-caption the original, translate the subtitles into Italian (Pro), then paste that text into the voiceover panel to generate an Italian track by hand. It is a manual workflow, and it works.
-
E-learning and accessibility
Record a screen walkthrough with the built-in recorder, then swap rough live audio for clean generated narration. Burned-in Italian captions cover viewers who watch muted.

Italian Text to Speech FAQ
Is EchoWave's Italian text to speech free to use?
Yes. Generating speech, editing on the timeline, and exporting a 720p MP4 are free; free exports carry a small removable EchoWave badge and a short end card. Paid plans remove both and add higher resolutions plus audio-only downloads.
How many Italian voices does EchoWave have?
Two dedicated Italian voices, one female and one male, out of a 63-voice catalog. That is fewer than specialist platforms like ElevenLabs carry, and we would rather be exact than pad the number. Nine multilingual Expressive voices are also worth auditioning with Italian text.
Does the voice pronounce Italian correctly?
It is tuned for standard Italian: double consonants stay distinct, stress accents in words like perché and città fall on the right syllable, and open and closed vowels read naturally. It speaks standard broadcast Italian rather than regional varieties like Neapolitan or Sicilian. If a specific word reads oddly, respelling it or adding punctuation usually fixes the delivery.
Can I download the Italian voiceover as an MP3?
Audio-only export requires a paid plan: MP3 and M4A start on Creator, WAV and FLAC on Pro. The free plan exports MP4 video, so a free alternative is exporting the narration as a video with a simple visual behind it.
Can I use the generated voice on YouTube or in client work?
Yes, voiceovers you generate can go into videos you publish, including monetized YouTube channels. For client deliverables, most people move to a paid plan for badge-free exports at 1080p or 4K.
Can EchoWave dub my English video into Italian?
There is no automatic dubbing that re-voices your audio track. The honest route: auto-caption the English video, translate the subtitles into Italian (a Pro feature), then paste that Italian text into the voiceover panel and generate a new voice track. Mute or lower the original audio and line the new track up on the timeline.
Can I clone my own voice for Italian narration?
Voice cloning is available as a paid feature. You record a sample of your voice and reuse the clone across projects, which keeps a channel or a course sounding like one narrator instead of two stock voices.
Does auto-captioning recognize Italian automatically?
Yes. Speech-to-text auto-detects the spoken language, so there is no upfront language picker, and each word gets its own timestamp for karaoke-style captions. If detection ever misfires, you can override the source language after transcription.
Do I need to install anything?
No. EchoWave runs in Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari on Mac, Windows, Linux, and Chromebooks. Because it runs in the browser, an old laptop or a Chromebook works fine; optional desktop apps exist for Mac and Windows.
