by AssemblyaiReleased 28 October 2026
This model takes in written text and gives back spoken audio, so a buyer who has a script or a set of lines to be read aloud is its user. It is built for voice assistants that answer callers, for narrated recordings, and for speech in several languages, and it draws on a shared catalogue of thousands of ready-made voices to pick from. It cannot make a voice from a sample of someone's recording, so a job that must sound like one particular person falls outside what it does.
