Hear the difference
The same Vietnamese sentence, twice. Kiều Linh is a Vietnamese speaker; Zoe reads Vietnamese with an English accent - and because English has no tones, the meaning of the words genuinely changes.

All 4 run on the ElevenLabs tiers: Enhanced at 110 credits / 1,000 characters (≈ $0.23 per minute of speech) and Premium at 160 (≈ $0.33) for the most natural result. The Standard tier reads Vietnamese too at 50 credits, and for most languages it has native voices of its own. Every clip downloads as MP3. Browse the voice library →
Why a native Vietnamese voice matters
Vietnamese is the one language on this list where a foreign accent is not a matter of taste but of meaning. Six tones distinguish words that are otherwise identical - ma, má, mà, mả, mã, mạ are six different words - and a voice that reads tone marks as stress or ignores them produces sentences that are not merely accented but wrong. English-trained TTS also breaks Vietnamese syllable structure, which is strictly one syllable per written word, with final consonants that are held rather than released.
The four native voices cover both sides of the country’s main accent divide. Kiều Linh is a confident young female voice for advertising and announcements, and Hien a warm northern broadcaster with real weight. Trung is a clear, firm northern male voice - the most-used Vietnamese voice in the library - and Trieu a deep, calm southern one. Northern (Hanoi) is the broadcast standard; southern (Saigon) is what a much larger share of everyday speech sounds like, and choosing between them is a real targeting decision.

Frequently asked questions
Does it read all six Vietnamese tones correctly?
Yes - the tone marks are read as tones by native voices, which is the whole point: in Vietnamese, getting the tone wrong does not produce an accent, it produces a different word.
Northern or southern accent?
Both. Hien and Trung are northern (the broadcast standard); Trieu is southern. Kiều Linh speaks the neutral standard register. The picker tags each voice with its region.
Which tiers support Vietnamese?
All three, with native voices on each. Standard has three native Vietnamese voices of its own, two of them southern, at 50 credits per 1,000 characters; the four on this page read it on Enhanced at 110 and on Premium, the most natural of the three, at 160.
How much does Vietnamese text to speech cost?
Standard costs 50 credits per 1,000 characters, Enhanced 110 and Premium 160, with native Vietnamese voices on all three. A 1,000-character paragraph is roughly one minute of speech - about $0.10 on Standard or $0.23 on Enhanced at the $5 pack rate. No subscription; credits never expire.
