Arabic TTS API

Arabic text-to-speech API for production apps

Natural MSA and dialect voices, sub-second streaming, and OpenAI-compatible endpoints. Build IVR, audiobooks, learning apps, and accessibility features in Arabic — without compromising data residency.

  • MSA + Gulf, Egyptian, Levantine voices
  • Streaming with ~200–400 ms first-byte latency
  • Automatic diacritization (tashkeel) for raw text
  • OpenAI-compatible POST /v1/tts endpoint
  • Cloud or on-premises (Docker / Kubernetes)
  • Per-tenant rate limits, quotas, and audit logs

Why an Arabic-first TTS engine

Most TTS APIs treat Arabic as an afterthought — robotic pronunciation, missing dialects, and no diacritization. OpenQlik is trained on Arabic-first corpora with dialect coverage that matches how the language is actually spoken across the Gulf, North Africa, and the Levant.

You get the same quality on-premises as on managed cloud, with PDPL and GDPR-aligned controls.

Voices and dialects

  • Modern Standard Arabic — news, audiobooks, education
  • Gulf — Saudi, Emirati, Kuwaiti accents for IVR and CX
  • Egyptian — high reach for entertainment and dubbing
  • Levantine — natural for Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Palestine
  • Custom — clone any voice from a 30-second clean sample

Use it in three lines

curl https://openqlik.bilytica.com/api/v1/tts \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $OPENQLIK_KEY" \
  -d '{"voice":"ar-SA-female-1","text":"مرحباً بكم في أوبن كليك"}' \
  --output hello.mp3

Frequently asked questions

Which Arabic dialects are supported?

Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) plus Gulf, Egyptian and Levantine voices. Custom dialects can be cloned from a 30-second sample.

How is diacritization handled?

Text without tashkeel is auto-diacritized server-side before synthesis. You can also pass fully vowelized input to override.

What is the streaming latency?

First-byte latency is typically 200–400 ms on our managed cloud. On-premises latency depends on your GPU; a single L4 sustains real-time on multiple concurrent streams.

Can I run it without sending data to a third party?

Yes. The same API ships as Docker, Helm chart, or air-gapped installer for on-premises deployment.
