The Urdu voices, with samples

Each sample reads the same line so you can compare them fairly.

ur-IN, and what that accent means

The voice map sends Urdu to ur-IN, the Indian Urdu locale, and all eight premium characters are present there. For Lucknow, Hyderabad or Delhi audiences this is the natural accent; a Karachi viewer will still understand every word, though the locale is worth knowing before you promise a Pakistani client a local voice. The director writes the script in Urdu once the Language field says so, composing from your brief's facts in any language. Wording that must stay put, a couplet or a registered tagline, belongs in the brief in Urdu script.

Casting eight voices across four moods

Puck and Laomedeia take the energetic register for promos and offer spots. Charon and Erinome hold the instructional lane, and tutorials are fixed to them by code, so a walkthrough cannot inherit an ad read. Umbriel and Sulafat give the warm delivery a perfumery or wedding service wants. Iapetus and Aoede stay level for announcements. The gender axis doubles the choice, the director picks from the brief, and each scene's voice dialog can override locally while searching the full Google catalogue behind the defaults.

Right to left on screen, correctly and honestly

Detecting Urdu text, the composition mirrors alignments and lays the caption right to left, first spoken word at the right edge, highlight moving leftward with the voice. The compromise is typographic: the fallback font shapes the letters in a plain Naskh manner, not the hanging Nastaliq of Urdu print. On-screen headlines have the same trait. Where typography matters most, lean on the voice and keep on-screen Urdu short, or place key phrases inside uploaded imagery you control. Mixed-direction lines holding numbers or Latin names deserve one look at a render before shipping.

The working controls, scene by scene

Each scene carries a delay in seconds before its voice enters, a speed setting stepped from 0.85x to 1.25x, and its own narration box, where respelling is the pronunciation control; a foreign word rewritten in Urdu letters reads as intended after a regeneration of about half a credit. Scenes stretch to fit their clips, and dynamic pace lets a long sentence finish over the following cut. Music ducks to 22 percent under speech automatically. Numbers do best written as words when their spoken form matters, and generated narration never contains an em dash by prompt rule.

Captions in this script

Urdu's Perso-Arabic script switches the render into right-to-left mode: the caption pill takes an RTL direction so words order correctly from the right, the highlight tracks the voice from the first spoken word, and slot alignments mirror across the frame. No catalogue font carries the script, so the fallback font draws it, and that fallback is usually a Naskh-style face rather than the Nastaliq Urdu readers prefer; legible, but visibly not calligraphic. Lines mixing Urdu with digits or Latin brand names can misorder inside the centred pill, so give those scenes a render check or disable their captions.
