What is Inworld?
Inworld AI’s Realtime TTS-2 is a next-generation voice AI built for conversations that feel genuinely human. Unlike traditional text-to-speech systems that sound robotic or delayed, Realtime TTS-2 delivers expressive, emotionally nuanced speech with ultra-low latency—so responses feel instant and natural. Whether you're building AI companions, customer service agents, or interactive characters in games, this tool helps you create voices users actually want to talk to.
Trusted by top developers and companies like LiveKit, Latitude, and Isekai Zero, Realtime TTS-2 combines high-quality voice synthesis with advanced control features like real-time tone steering, cross-lingual voice cloning, and seamless integration into live conversational flows—all at a fraction of the cost of competitors.
What are the features of Inworld?
- #1 Ranked TTS Quality: Tops the Artificial Analysis Speech Arena based on blind tests from thousands of real users—not internal benchmarks.
- Sub-130ms Latency: Delivers the first audio chunk in under 130ms (for Mini model), making interactions feel instantaneous.
- Advanced Voice Direction: Use simple bracketed prompts like [excited, faster pace] anywhere in your text to dynamically adjust tone, speed, emotion, and pauses.
- Voice Cloning from 15 Seconds: Create a custom voice from just 15 seconds of audio and deploy it across 100+ languages without accent carryover.
- Text-Based Voice Design: Skip recording entirely—describe a voice using natural language (e.g., “young British woman, warm and energetic”) and generate it instantly.
- Realtime Speech-to-Speech API: Full-duplex, low-latency audio streaming with intelligent turn-taking, function calling, and dynamic context management.
- Smart LLM Routing: One API that auto-routes requests to the best model (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, etc.) based on user tier, intent, cost, or uptime needs.
