Bland Speech v3 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.
