Twi text to speech with the tone and rhythm of Kumasi and Accra
Twi is the most widely heard language in Ghana. It is the best-known form of Akan, a Kwa language of the Niger–Congo family, and about 15 million people speak it as a first language, with many more Ghanaians using it every day as a second language in markets, offices and on public transport. Asante Twi, from the region around Kumasi, is the most widespread form, Akuapem Twi has the oldest written tradition, and the coastal Fante variety is a close relative with its own spelling.
Because so many Ghanaians switch into Twi when they want to be warm, funny or persuasive, it is also the language of much of the country's radio, advertising and entertainment. Good Twi audio has to sound at home in that world: lively, rhythmic and tonally exact.
Seven vowels, two tones and harmony
Twi is written in a Latin alphabet with two extra vowel letters, ɛ and ɔ, which stand for open e and o sounds. The vowels fall into harmony sets, so the vowels in a word agree with each other, and nasal vowels add further contrasts. These patterns are regular to a native speaker and easy to break for anyone else.
Twi is tonal, with high and low tones and a downstep that lowers pitch through a phrase. Everyday spelling does not mark tone, so the same written word can stand for different meanings. A natural Twi voice chooses the right pitch pattern from context and lets the melody fall gently across a sentence, as speakers do.
From the Bible to Kumawood
Akuapem Twi was the first Akan variety to be written down systematically, and nineteenth-century mission work made it the basis of the Twi Bible and early literature. Asante Twi has since become the everyday standard for most speakers, and Ghanaian schools teach Akan varieties as Ghanaian languages.
Today Twi dominates much of Ghanaian radio outside English-language news, and it is the language of the Kumasi film industry, of highlife and of much of Ghanaian hiplife and drill. Proverbs and folk tales, especially the Anansesɛm stories of Kwaku Ananse the spider, remain central to how Twi speakers tell stories, and they translate naturally into narrated audio.
What Twi asks of a narrator
A Twi voice needs to keep ɛ and ɔ distinct from e and o, respect vowel harmony, and carry tone correctly even when the page gives no marks. It also needs the right social register. The same passage can be read as a formal announcement or as a friendly story, and Twi listeners notice the difference immediately.
Notevibes voices are expressive out of the box. Describe the delivery you want in plain words in the chat, perhaps playful for an Ananse tale or calm and clear for a lesson, and Noty writes the direction while your text stays exactly as written. Long books can be produced overnight at a third of the price, and you can clone your own voice if you want Twi audio that sounds like you.
