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

Gemini 3.8 Flash-Lite TTS is an expressive text-to-speech model from Google optimized for high-volume, cost-efficient speech generation. It is designed for workloads such as global dubbing, large-scale audio content production, localization, and conversational voice agents. Users can control characteristics such as tone, pacing, emphasis, and expressive nuance to shape how generated speech is delivered. Line-by-line direction allows scripts to include performance instructions and natural speech cues rather than producing uniformly spoken narration. The model supports long-form generation and is designed to preserve voice quality, natural pacing, and character consistency across extended audio. Native two-speaker staging allows developers and creators to generate multi-turn conversations while keeping speakers distinct and maintaining natural turn-taking. Scripted cues can introduce laughs, sighs, gasps, and listening responses such as “mhm” or “yeah” to make dialogue more conversational. Gemini 3.8 Flash-Lite TTS supports more than 100 languages and is designed for multilingual audio experiences at global scale, while generated Gemini Audio output includes SynthID watermarking for transparency. Developers can access the model through Google AI Studio and the Gemini API, with integration into Google Vids and planned API availability through Gemini Enterprise.
