Inworld TTS 2

Third-party
Zero data retention

Inworld's most powerful and expressive text-to-speech model. Builds on TTS 1.5 with rich expressive speech, real-time latency, natural language steering (e.g. [whisper], [say excitedly]), and stronger multilingual support across 15 production languages plus 90+ experimental languages.

Examples

Natural Language Steering — Direct the voice with bracketed natural-language cues for emotion, pace, and style.

const response = await env.AI.run(
  'inworld/tts-2',
  {
    output_format: 'mp3',
    temperature: 1,
    text: "[speak with excitement] I'm really excited about Inworld's new model. Have you tried out the steering capabilities? It's pretty cool!",
    timestamp_type: 'none',
    voice_id: 'Dennis',
  },

stringrequireddefault: Dennisenum: Loretta, Darlene, Marlene, Hank, Evelyn, Celeste, Pippa, Tessa, Liam, Callum, Hamish, Abby, Graham, Rupert, Mortimer, Snik, Anjali, Saanvi, Arjun, Claire, Oliver, Simon, Elliot, James, Serena, Gareth, Vinny, Lauren, Jessica, Ethan, Tyler, Jason, Chloe, Veronica, Victoria, Miranda, Sebastian, Victor, Malcolm, Nate, Brian, Amina, Kelsey, Derek, Evan, Kayla, Jake, Grant, Tristan, Nadia, Selene, Marcus, Riley, Damon, Cedric, Mia, Naomi, Jonah, Levi, Avery, Brandon, Conrad, Bianca, Lucian, Trevor, Alex, Ashley, Craig, Deborah, Dennis, Edward, Elizabeth, Hades, Julia, Pixie, Mark, Olivia, Priya, Ronald, Sarah, Shaun, Theodore, Timothy, Wendy, Dominus, Hana, Clive, Carter, Blake, Luna, Reed, Duncan, Felix, Eleanor, SophieThe ID of the voice to use for synthesizing speech. Defaults to Dennis.

output_format

stringrequireddefault: mp3enum: mp3, opus, wav, flacThe output format for the audio. Supported formats are mp3, opus, wav, and flac. Defaults to mp3.

bit_rate

integerminimum: -9007199254740991maximum: 9007199254740991Bits per second of the audio. Only for compressed audio formats (mp3, opus). The default is 128,000.

sample_rate

integerminimum: -9007199254740991maximum: 9007199254740991The synthesis sample rate in hertz. Accepts: 8000, 16000, 22050, 24000, 32000, 44100, 48000. The default is 48,000.

speaking_rate

numberminimum: 0.5maximum: 1.5Speaking rate/speed, in the range [0.5, 1.5]. The default is 1.0. We recommend using values above 0.8 to ensure high quality.

temperature

numberrequireddefault: 1minimum: 0.01maximum: 2Determines the degree of randomness when sampling audio tokens. Defaults to 1.0. Accepts values between 0 (exclusive) and 2 (inclusive). Higher values = more expressive, lower values = more deterministic.

timestamp_type

stringrequireddefault: noneenum: none, word, characterControls timestamp metadata returned with the audio. "word" returns word-level timing, "character" returns character-level timing. Note: adds latency. Defaults to none.

apply_text_normalization

booleanWhen enabled, text normalization expands numbers, dates, times, and abbreviations before converting to speech. Turning this off may reduce latency.

audio

stringURL to the generated audio file
