Welsh voices for websites and apps
Use a friendly ResponsiveVoice voice name such as Welsh Male, or select by BCP-47 language code with { lang: 'cy' }. The browser SDK uses native speech where it fits and falls back to ResponsiveVoice server audio when a closer voice is needed.
| Voice name | Language code | How to select it |
|---|---|---|
| Welsh Male | cy | Use by exact name, pattern, or language query. |
One-line browser setup
Add Welsh speech with JavaScript
<script src="https://cdn.responsivevoice.org/sdk/latest/responsivevoice.js"></script>
<script>
responsiveVoice.init({ apiKey: 'YOUR_API_KEY' });
responsiveVoice.speak("Ychwanegwch destun i leferydd Cymraeg at eich gwefan neu ap.", "Welsh Male");
</script>For a first demo you can initialize without an API key and use the device voice. Register and verify your website domain to unlock the full voice catalog. For backend audio generation, use the REST API with your API key and secret.

FAQ
Welsh text to speech questions
Which Welsh voice should I use?
Start with Welsh Male. If your app needs another tone or gender, test the other listed ResponsiveVoice voices and choose the one that best matches your audience.
Can I use Welsh text to speech in a browser?
Yes. Use the ResponsiveVoice browser library from npm or the CDN. The browser can use native speech and ResponsiveVoice fallback audio depending on the selected voice and platform.
Can I generate Welsh audio on a server?
Yes. Use the ResponsiveVoice REST API or API client with an API key and API secret. Keep the secret server-side only.
