    • Similarity: Adjustable from 0 to 100. Lower values make the voice slightly robotic, while higher values result in a close match to the original voice talent, preserving emotional and tonal qualities.
    • ProEngine: Offers two modes— Turbo and HighRes. Turbo is designed for real-time applications such as chatbots, focusing on speed while maintaining a balance between accuracy and stability. It also offers more affordable pricing compared to HighRes. HighRes is designed for high-quality, precise outputs, ideal for content creation.

v1.2.0

 – May 18, 2024
  • Introducing Multilingual Pro Voices, broadening our range with more diverse language and voice options.
  • Added 25 New ProPlus & Pro1 Multilingual Voices: Both ProPlus and Pro1 voices auto-detect the language from the text, providing seamless multilingual support. Additionally, with Pro1 voices, you can now use dedicated AccentCode to specify the desired language accent for even more precise customization.
    • proplus-Richard, proplus-Ariana, proplus-Carter, proplus-Avery, proplus-Ella, proplus-Sophie, proplus-Ethan, proplus-Grace, proplus-George, proplus-Blaze, proplus-Sara, proplus-Tyler, proplus-Jack

  • Pro voice inference models require a significantly higher amount of GPU resources for Text to Speech generation. Therefore, currently Pro+ Voices are priced at 10x the character rate, while Pro1 still counts as our regular 1x character rate. As we optimize and enhance Pro voice models, we'll gradually lower the pricing too.
  • Fixed several bugs and improved the backend, ensuring a smoother & faster APIs across all engines.
  • We’ve added a new parameter, MasterSettings:
    • advanced_v1: Direct connection to AI Engines with characters counted per conversion.
    • advanced_v2: Adjust MasterVolume, MasterSpeed, or MasterPitch without counting characters, provided VoiceId or Text remains unchanged. Note, this will add a 200ms delay to the initial request.
  • To monitor the stats of Advanced V2 Mastersettings, we have added Usage and Charged characters to the dashboard stats. Usage (text count) is counted every time you make a request, and a Charged (text count) is considered charged only if the VoiceId or Text is updated. We recommend switching everyone to advanced_v2 for cost saving & better performance.
  • 2FA Security Settings: We've enhanced our security settings with email and phone verification via OTP.
  • Pricing Drop: We've reduced our API pricing by 20%! You can now get 1 million characters for just $20.
  • Addional Updates:
    • Added 7 new Hindi Neural AI3 Voices: Kavita, NikitaV2, SiddharthV2, GurdeepV2, DivyaV2, ChaitaliV2, and Ankita.
