Description

Bland Speech v3 is an innovative text-to-speech model that aims to generate voice audio that closely resembles that of a human, particularly in contexts like phone calls where overly polished speech may come off as inauthentic. This model captures essential human elements such as breathing, stutters, pauses, laughter, and throat-clearing by utilizing performance tags that are acted out rather than simply read. Users have the option to input their own scripts or utilize the Director feature to outline a conversation, allowing Bland to craft the dialogue, timing, and delivery prior to speech generation. Additionally, it offers voice cloning capabilities: a quick clone can be made from approximately 10 seconds of audio, whereas professional-grade cloning requires 30 minutes or more of verified audio, with users affirming that each voice belongs to them. Bland Speech can be accessed via a web studio and a single /v1/speak API endpoint, which employs bearer-key authentication for security. Audio is streamed through HTTP chunked transfer or WebSocket, returning PCM16 WAV files at a sample rate of 44.1 kHz, ensuring high-quality output for diverse applications. This versatility makes Bland Speech an essential tool for developers looking to enhance their audio experiences.

Description

Google Cloud's Text-to-Speech API has unveiled Chirp 3, a feature that allows users to develop custom voice models by utilizing their own high-quality audio recordings. This innovation streamlines the process of generating unique voices for audio synthesis via the Cloud Text-to-Speech API, catering to both streaming and long-form text applications. Due to safety protocols, access to this voice cloning feature is limited to select users, and those interested in gaining access must reach out to the sales team for inclusion on the allowed list. The Instant Custom Voice capability supports a variety of languages, such as English (US), Spanish (US), and French (Canada), ensuring a broad reach for users. Moreover, this service is operational across multiple Google Cloud regions and offers a range of supported output formats, including LINEAR16, OGG_OPUS, PCM, ALAW, MULAW, and MP3, depending on the chosen API method. As voice technology continues to evolve, the possibilities for personalized audio experiences are expanding rapidly.
