TTS (Text → Speech)
Beta
Render text as natural-sounding audio — for narration, readouts, and voice agents.
Overview
TTS (Text → Speech)
Use it for video narration, podcast generation, voice assistants, accessibility readouts, and IVR voice prompts. Output is WAV. Built-in voices (list them with `GET /v1/audio/voices`) and your own cloned voices, emotion and style control via `instruct` on CosyVoice models, and streaming playback with `stream: true`.
