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.

Hume AI's EVI 3 represents a cutting-edge advancement in speech-language technology, seamlessly streaming user speech to create natural and expressive verbal responses. It achieves conversational latency while maintaining the same level of speech quality as our text-to-speech model, Octave, and simultaneously exhibits the intelligence comparable to leading LLMs operating at similar speeds. In addition, it collaborates with reasoning models and web search systems, allowing it to “think fast and slow,” thereby aligning its cognitive capabilities with those of the most sophisticated AI systems available. Unlike traditional models constrained to a limited set of voices, EVI 3 has the ability to instantly generate a vast array of new voices and personalities, engaging users with over 100,000 custom voices already available on our text-to-speech platform, each accompanied by a distinct inferred personality. Regardless of the chosen voice, EVI 3 can convey a diverse spectrum of emotions and styles, either implicitly or explicitly upon request, enhancing user interaction. This versatility makes EVI 3 an invaluable tool for creating personalized and dynamic conversational experiences.
