MiniMax Speech 2.8
MiniMax Speech 2.8 is a next-generation AI speech model built to make synthetic voice feel alive, expressive, and deeply human. It focuses on performance in real-world voice agent scenarios, combining ultra-fast response, richer emotional expression, cleaner audio, and stronger cross-lingual performance for products that need natural spoken interaction. Speech 2.8 is designed to reduce the distance between AI voice and real human communication, giving developers and creators more control over how a voice sounds, reacts, and carries meaning. It supports flexible emotion control, allowing users to shape delivery with moods, tone, and expressive direction instead of relying on flat or robotic speech. It can produce speech with more natural pauses, cadence, emphasis, and emotional texture, helping AI characters, assistants, narrators, and interactive agents sound more believable across longer conversations.

Qwen-Audio-3.0-TTS-Flash
Qwen-Audio-3.0-TTS-Flash is the real-time variant of Qwen-Audio-3.0-TTS, tuned for interactive applications with first-packet latency at the 300 ms level. It supports 16 languages, along with improved fidelity for several Chinese dialects. Across multilingual evaluations, Flash delivers the lowest average WER/CER in the family at 3.87, showing strong intelligibility while preserving speaker identity across diverse languages. Developers can guide delivery with plain-language instructions instead of manually adjusting acoustic parameters, controlling emotion, role, scenario, pace, projection, and tone through simple prompts. Inline tags add precise non-verbal details, making the model well-suited to conversational agents, narration, games, dubbing, and other expressive speech experiences. Voice cloning is designed to work with imperfect reference audio; targeted acoustic simulation suppresses noise and reverberation while retaining the original speaker’s timbre.

Simba 3.2
Speechify’s text-to-speech API offers a family of Simba models for real-time voice generation across English, European languages, and broader multilingual use cases. Simba 3.2 is recommended for new English integrations, providing streaming-native synthesis, the lowest time to first byte, richer expressivity than earlier generations, and full support for SSML and emotion control. Simba 3.0 extends streaming-native speech to English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, and Brazilian Portuguese, with language selection handled through the request or voice locale. Simba Multilingual supports 35 locales across 30 languages, including mixed-language content and automatic language detection, while Simba English remains available as a legacy model for compatibility. Developers select a model through one parameter and can switch without changing the rest of the request structure, including voice, format, and SSML settings.
