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 has unveiled enhanced Gemini audio models that greatly broaden the platform's functionalities for engaging and nuanced voice interactions, as well as real-time conversational AI, highlighted by the arrival of Gemini 2.5 Flash Native Audio and advancements in text-to-speech technology. The revamped native audio model supports live voice agents capable of managing intricate workflows, reliably adhering to detailed user directives, and facilitating smoother multi-turn dialogues by improving context retention from earlier exchanges. This upgrade is now accessible through Google AI Studio, Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform, Gemini Live, and Search Live, allowing developers and products to create dynamic voice experiences such as smart assistants and corporate voice agents. Additionally, Google has refined the core Text-to-Speech (TTS) models within the Gemini 2.5 lineup to enhance expressiveness, tone modulation, pacing adjustments, and multilingual capabilities, resulting in synthesized speech that sounds increasingly natural. Furthermore, these innovations position Google's audio technology as a leader in the realm of conversational AI, driving forward the potential for more intuitive human-computer interactions.
