Cantonese TTS — Mainland Yue AI Voice
3 mainland Cantonese AI voices — Guangzhou Yue accent in Simplified Chinese.
Mainland Cantonese — Guangzhou Yue in Simplified Chinese
This page reads 简体字 (the mainland script) with an authentic Guangdong register — the everyday speech heard from Guangzhou across Foshan, Dongguan and Zhuhai. Three native yue-CN neural speakers — Hiujin plus, XiaoMin and YunSong — keep the six-tone system, the Middle Chinese checked stops (-p, -t, -k) and the lexical items that separate the mainland Yue register from Mandarin (食饭 instead of 吃饭, 我哋 instead of 我们). Paste Cantonese text, pick a speaker, download a free MP3 — no signup.
Creators reach for this variant when a Mandarin reading feels off to a Pearl River Delta ear. Feed the engine "你好，欢迎来到广州" and the speaker stays in the local pocket, true to 粤语 as spoken in Guangzhou and Guangdong media. For standard Mandarin, use the main Chinese page; for Hong Kong Traditional characters, see the sister page below.

Mainland Cantonese vs Mandarin — Pronunciation Comparison
Same character, two readings. Hear how 粤语 reshapes the same Hanzi against the Mandarin (zh-CN) baseline.
What Makes the Guangdong Reading Sound Different from Putonghua
- Six-tone system — the dialect keeps six contrastive tones (plus three checked tones that some linguists count separately as nine). Mandarin has four. Tonal density changes the melody of every sentence.
- Middle Chinese checked stops — final -p, -t, -k endings survive intact. A character like 一 ends in an abrupt -t stop rather than an open vowel. This is the single biggest phonological anchor to Middle Chinese heard anywhere in living Sinitic.
- Distinct lexicon — everyday verbs and pronouns diverge: 食/吃 (eat), 我哋/我们 (we), 嘅/的 (possessive). Our Simplified Chinese input accepts these dialect characters; the voice reads them correctly.
- Guangzhou register — the speaker is trained on mainland broadcast media, not the Hong Kong register. Expect crisper consonants and a slightly higher baseline pitch than the TVB style.
Mainland Conventions — Script, Currency, Numbers & Dates
Four formatting rules specific to the mainland register — each shifts how the same number or date reads aloud:
Script
简体字 (Simplified Hanzi) — the mainland standard used in Guangdong, Guangxi and Shenzhen. Traditional 繁體字 also parses, but the voice is trained on mainland broadcast speech.
Currency
¥100 / 人民币 — renminbi is the mainland currency (RMB). HK$ is the sister-page convention. The reader pronounces 元 as "jyun4".
Numbers
1,234,567 — Arabic digits in daily copy; Chinese numerals 一二三 kept for formal contexts. The voice reads digits with 粤语 numerals (jat1, ji6, saam1).
Dates
YYYY年MM月DD日 — mainland standard. 2026年4月24日 reads as "ji6 ling4 ji6 luk6 nin4 sei3 jyut6 ji6 sap6 sei3 jat6" in the Guangzhou reading.
What Can You Do with a Mainland Yue AI Voice?
Guangzhou Content Creators
Produce Bilibili and Douyin voice-overs in a Guangzhou register — 粤语 street comedy, food reviews from 饮茶 culture, morning-tea vlogs. The mainland reading lands with the Pearl River Delta audience the way a Putonghua track never will.
Guangdong Diaspora Content
Reach older overseas communities — Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam, older-wave NYC and San Francisco Chinatowns — whose heritage speech is the mainland Guangzhou variant, not the Hong Kong register. Perfect for family memorials, temple announcements and 粤剧 (Cantonese opera) narration.
Pearl River Delta Business
IVR, factory training, logistics announcements and e-commerce spots for Foshan, Dongguan, Zhuhai and the broader Guangdong manufacturing corridor. A native yue-CN line opens and closes cleanly where a Mandarin read would feel imported.
Cantonese Learning
Practice the six-tone system against Mandarin's four. Hear checked stops in action, contrast 食 vs 吃, learn Jyutping by ear with Hiujin plus, then compare each line with the Putonghua reading to bridge the two registers.

Frequently Asked Questions — Mainland Yue TTS
This page reads text written in Simplified characters (简体字, 粤语), the script used in Guangzhou, Guangdong, Guangxi and Shenzhen. For Traditional characters (繁體字, 廣東話, 粵語) and the HK register, use Hong Kong Cantonese TTS. Both variants share the same spoken language and the same six-tone system — they differ only in script and regional flavour.
Guangzhou (capital of Guangdong), Foshan, Dongguan, Zhuhai, Shenzhen and parts of Guangxi — roughly 60 million native speakers. Writing follows the mainland Simplified Hanzi standard. The diaspora in Southeast Asia and older-wave North American Chinatowns also uses this register.
No — the engine reads every character with Jyutping tones and mainland Yue phonology. For Putonghua, use our Mandarin Text to Speech. Mixing the two produces unnatural audio.
Not directly — paste Simplified Hanzi (你好, 广州, 欢迎) and the engine renders the Guangzhou reading. Jyutping is the standard romanization for studying tones, and our pronunciation table above shows Jyutping alongside every example.
Three yue-CN Neural voices — Hiujin plus (female, top-rated on the platform), XiaoMin (female) and YunSong (male). All three deliver natural Guangzhou-register speech. HD tier is available on the Hong Kong sister page only.
