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 TTS is a generative text-to-speech model from Google designed for expressive voice creation, character design, dialogue direction, and multilingual audio production. Instead of limiting users to fixed voice presets, the model can create entirely new vocal identities from natural-language descriptions. Developers and creators can specify attributes such as accent, role, timbre, speaking style, pacing, and other voice characteristics across more than 100 languages and dialects. The model also offers access to more than 2,000 production-ready voices and supports voice replication from a short authorized audio sample. Performance controls allow users to direct individual lines with stage directions, pacing instructions, dialect shifts, emotional cues, and conversational backchanneling. Gemini 3.8 Flash TTS supports long-form generation while maintaining voice consistency, making it suitable for podcasts, audiobooks, localization, and other extended audio projects. Native two-speaker scene support lets users create multi-turn conversations from a single script while preserving distinct voices and natural turn-taking. Google includes consent verification, SynthID watermarking, and C2PA credentials to provide greater transparency and safeguards around generated and replicated voices. Gemini 3.8 Flash TTS can be used through Google AI Studio and the Gemini API and is intended for developers, creators, enterprises, media companies, and teams building expressive speech experiences.
