Japanese text to speech for long-form narration
97 Japanese voices (39 female, 47 male) across the Core, Natural, Refined lanes.
Paste a full Japanese script, choose one voice, and NarrateHQ generates every section with that same voice and the same settings. When a line changes, regenerate only that section; the rest of the take is reused, and the timed SRT subtitles are rebuilt from the final audio.
How NarrateHQ splits Japanese scripts
Japanese scripts are split at fullwidth sentence punctuation such as 。！？, and a closing quote or bracket stays attached to the sentence it ends. When one sentence is too long for a single section, the cut moves to the nearest comma instead of an arbitrary character.
Every section is cut on whole characters, never inside a combined character or accent mark, and stays under the size limit a voice engine accepts in one request. That is what lets a long Japanese script run as one take instead of a series of manual pastes.
