Description

Phonon serves as an open-weight text-to-speech (TTS) model and inference runtime designed for developers seeking to incorporate speech generation into applications that require local and offline audio capabilities. This innovative system transforms text into spoken audio and has the ability to stream speech in real-time as it is produced. The runtime offers interfaces for Rust and Python, a Swift package for iOS and macOS, JavaScript support for web browsers, and libraries for Android; it can also function as a self-hosted server compatible with OpenAI's API. Depending on the variant of the model used, it accommodates languages such as English, French, German, Spanish, and Portuguese. Phonon is tailored for developers aiming to integrate speech functionalities into mobile, desktop, web, embedded, and server applications, particularly in scenarios requiring offline access or enhanced privacy. The English model, which consists of 31 million parameters, is licensed under Apache 2.0, while the language-specific and multilingual models, featuring 40 million parameters, operate under CC BY-NC 4.0. Additionally, the runtime’s code is available under either the Apache 2.0 or MIT licenses, making it accessible for various development needs. This flexibility and wide-ranging support make Phonon a versatile choice for speech synthesis across different platforms.

Description

Speechify provides a range of Simba models within its text-to-speech API, designed for real-time voice generation in English and various European languages, as well as for a wide array of multilingual applications. For new English integrations, Simba 3.2 is the recommended choice, featuring streaming-native synthesis, minimized time to first byte, enhanced expressivity compared to prior versions, and comprehensive support for SSML and emotional modulation. Meanwhile, Simba 3.0 offers streaming-native speech capabilities in English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, and Brazilian Portuguese, with language selection managed via the request or voice locale. Simba Multilingual expands support to 35 locales across 30 languages, accommodating mixed-language content and incorporating automatic language detection, while the legacy Simba English model remains available for those requiring compatibility. Developers can easily select their preferred model using a single parameter, allowing for seamless switching without altering other request components, such as voice, format, and SSML configurations. This flexibility ensures that developers can optimize their integration to best meet their specific needs.
