German AI voice generator and voice cloning

• Reference recordings for this language are capped at 12 seconds, the same limit used throughout Mayantar.
• Type umlauts and ß properly. The ae/oe/ue/ss substitutions are read as the letters they are, and "Masse" and "Maße" are different words.
• Long compound nouns are safe: chunking happens at sentence boundaries, so a compound is never split across two generated clips.
• Capitalised nouns are ordinary German and do not affect delivery — the model does not read capitalisation as emphasis in this language.
• Cloning is cross-lingual: a voice cloned from a clip in one language can generate in another on this path. It works, but it is not free — accent from the reference language carries over. Record in the language you intend to publish in unless a foreign accent is the point.

Mayantar ships written prompts for English and the Indian languages; for German the recorder offers the English prompts as a starting point, and you are better off reading German of your own. Anything works as long as it is you talking normally — introduce yourself, describe what you are working on, read a paragraph of your own script.

Aim to fill most of the 12-second limit, keep it in one take, and include a question if you can: rising intonation is the thing a clone most often lacks when the reference was a flat, careful read.

The checks your clip has to pass — and the specific reasons clips get rejected — are in our guide to recording a reference clip.
