Text to Speech offers two groups of voices: OpenAI voices and standard MiniMax voices. Each group has different characteristics, language support and pricing.
OpenAI voices
OpenAI voices are synthetic voices with distinct personality descriptions. They work best for English content and support voice instructions to adjust tone and style.
OpenAI voices support voice instructions: on the Voice tab, type a short description of how the voice should sound. For example: "Speak at a slow pace, with a warm and friendly tone."
Standard MiniMax voices
Standard MiniMax voices are multilingual and cover a wide range of languages. They work well for content in languages other than English.
Which to choose
ℹ️ You can preview any voice by selecting it in the Voice tab and tapping the play icon next to the voice name before generating.
