Text-to-Speech

ElevenLabs' most natural-sounding TTS model. Supports 29 languages with emotional range.

Meta's AudioCraft framework wrapping MusicGen, AudioGen and EnCodec. Unified text-to-audio research toolkit for music and sound effects.

Latent-diffusion model for general-purpose text-to-audio. Generates speech, music, and sound effects with a unified prior.

Cartesia's ultra-low-latency TTS (~90ms TTFB). State-space model with voice cloning support.

Microsoft Edge neural voices accessed via the open-source edge-tts wrapper. 400+ voices across 100+ locales, suitable for batch generation.

ElevenLabs' v3 alpha TTS. Most expressive voice model with audio tags and laughter, higher latency.

Open-source flow-matching TTS with strong zero-shot voice cloning. Code MIT, weights CC-BY-NC.

Open-weights 82M-parameter TTS. Punches above its size class on naturalness benchmarks at a fraction of the inference cost of larger models.

Meta MAGNeT non-autoregressive music generator. Up to 7x faster than MusicGen with comparable quality via masked generative transformers.

Meta's 3.3B-parameter MusicGen Large. Text-conditioned music generation with single-stage autoregressive transformer, supports melody conditioning.

Meta MusicGen Medium (1.5B params). Strong quality-to-speed tradeoff for text-to-music with optional melody guidance.

Meta MusicGen Small (300M params). Fast text-to-music generation suitable for prototyping and low-latency demos.

OpenAI's text-to-speech model. Six built-in voices with natural intonation.

OpenAI's high-definition TTS model. Better quality for production use cases.

MyShell OpenVoice v1. Cross-lingual voice cloning with flexible style control: emotion, accent, rhythm, pauses, and intonation.

MyShell OpenVoice v2. Multilingual zero-shot voice cloning with accurate tone-color reproduction and style/emotion control.

Hugging Face Parler-TTS Mini. Lightweight TTS conditioned on a natural-language style description for fine-grained control over voice characteristics.

Parler-TTS Large v1. 2.2B parameters, natural-language style prompting and improved prosody over the Mini variant.

PlayHT's 2.0 generative voice model. Multi-lingual expressive speech synthesis with sub-second latency and high-fidelity voice cloning.

Stable-Diffusion-based real-time music generator. Operates on spectrogram images then resynthesizes audio, enables seamless transitions and looping.

Retrieval-based Voice Conversion. Converts a source recording into a target speaker's voice, preserving pitch, prosody and rhythm.

Spark efficient TTS with disentangled control over speaker, content and style. Strong cross-lingual zero-shot performance.

Stability AI's Stable Audio 2.0. Text-to-music up to 3 minutes of full-length, structured tracks at 44.1 kHz.

Style-based TTS using diffusion and adversarial training. Human-level naturalness in zero-shot voice synthesis from a 3-5s reference clip.

Suno's text-prompted generative audio model. Speech, music, ambient sound and effects with non-verbal cues like laughter or sighs.

Multi-voice expressive TTS. Slow but high-quality with strong prosody and natural intonation. Trained for long-form narration use cases.

Coqui's XTTS v2 multilingual TTS with voice cloning from 6 seconds of reference audio. Supports 17 languages and emotion transfer.
