Languages and locales

As of March 4, 2019, the Actions on Google platform supports higher quality Wavenet voices for a subset of languages and locales. These voices are rated with a mean opinion score (MOS) of greater than 3.6, thus providing listeners with higher voice fidelity.

We automatically apply updated voices if they are available for the voice option used in your project.

If there's no updated voice for the voice option currently set in your Action, you can switch the voice option by going to Develop > Invocation in the Actions console.

For example, we provide only one updated voice (Female 1) for Italian. If you set Female 1 in your project, we automatically change the voice to Wavenet. If you currently have Male 1, Male 2, or Female 2 set in your project, you need to switch the voice option to Female 1 to get an updated voice.
