Generate natural speech in 60+ languages over a WebSocket or REST, with voice cloning and emotion control.

import { LinkCards } from "@/components/link-card";

Soniox Text-to-Speech turns text into natural speech in 60+ languages. Stream text in over a WebSocket and start playing audio after the first few words, or generate a whole file with one REST request. Names, numbers, and email addresses come out the way people say them.
