Definition

For media and content teams, text-to-speech turns text into publishable audio at newsroom speed: article listen-along, video voiceover, and podcast segments. The value is throughput. Audio that once required a narrator and a booking is generated the moment a piece is ready.

Audio for every piece

Because the audio comes from the article text, every published story can carry a listen option automatically. Readers who prefer to listen get an audio version without an editor commissioning narration, and it ships at publish time.

On brand delivery

A publication’s audio should sound like the publication. Use one voice ID, or a cloned signature voice, across everything, and shape delivery with emotion control across 13 styles so a news read differs from a feature. See the video voiceover page.

Speed

Low-latency streaming and fast synthesis mean audio keeps pace with a publishing schedule. A breaking piece gets its audio version in the same window it goes live, not the next day.

Pricing

Per character, from $6 per 1M on Scale. See the pricing page.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do media companies use text-to-speech?
Media and content teams use text-to-speech to publish audio versions of articles, add voiceover to video, and produce podcast segments from scripts. Natural voices and emotion control keep the audio on-brand, and the speed of synthesis matches a publishing schedule that a studio cannot.
Can every article get an audio version?
Yes. Because audio is generated from the article text, every published piece can carry a listen option automatically, produced at the moment of publishing rather than sent out for narration.
Does it keep a consistent brand voice?
Yes. Use one voice ID, or clone a signature voice, across every piece so a publication's audio has a recognizable sound. Emotion control adapts the delivery to the content.
