Meilin, a Mandarin female voice for short clips
Our note on Meilin is the frankest in the Mandarin set: usable for short clips, flat over a paragraph. That is a listening note, not a grade, and it sets the shape of this page. Her published record is a D with C target quality and 10 to 100 minutes of training audio. One recipe we kept starts from her, an even split with Delaney.

Three samples, three registers
- A harbour sentence at dawn; listen for the flatness our note mentions, and whether one sentence is short enough to hide it.
- The ten-second hook; listen for whether a short-clip voice sounds at home on a short-clip script.
- A letter, opened at last; listen for whether the aside after the comma lifts or stays level.
On the record
A frank note, and the recipe that answers it
Flat over a paragraph tells you where to stop: a clip of a sentence or two, not a narrated page. Short product lines, captions for a single shot, a spoken label. Sentence-level captions suit that length.
Magnetic Mandarin is the recipe we kept to change her colour: Meilin and Delaney at 50 percent each, described in our note as a Mandarin female with a throaty edge. Delaney lends timbre only; the Mandarin stays Meilin's.
Length the engine likes. The published guidance puts the sweet spot at roughly 100 to 200 tokens, a few sentences; very short lines are the weak spot and very long ones can rush.

A cross-language blend: Meilin keeps the pronunciation, the second voice only lends its timbre.
Every blend works the same way: the first voice sets the pronunciation and pacing, the second voice lends only its timbre, and you choose the ratio between 10 and 90 percent. See the three steps on the voice library page

FAQ
Questions about Meilin
What does flat over a paragraph mean in practice?
It is our listening note: the read does not vary much as the text goes on. Keep Meilin to a sentence or two, or use Magnetic Mandarin for longer scripts.
Will Meilin read a traditional-character script?
Yes, without conversion. Characters with several readings are matched more reliably in simplified text, so convert a long traditional script or tag the reading with Pronounce as.
Where do the captions cut?
At real pauses in the audio, since Mandarin voices give no per-word timing, with lines capped at 16 characters: usually one cue per sentence.
Is Meilin free to use commercially?
Yes. Standard voice output carries commercial rights on every plan, with no watermark and no attribution line.
