Realtime TTS-2

Voice AI that feels as good as it sounds

Overview

What it is

Inworld builds the infrastructure for production voice AI. One platform with speech-to-text, an LLM router, and the top-ranked text-to-speech, all connected on a single API so context flows between every layer. Used by developers building voice agents, AI companions, and conversational apps.

Intent

I need it when

Build conversational AI characters or voice agents that sound natural and emotionally expressive in real-time interactions

Realtime TTS-2 delivers #1-ranked voice quality with sub-130ms latency, advanced voice direction (tone, speed, volume, vocal style), and multi-turn awareness. Enables characters to respond naturally before users notice delay, with emotional expressiveness that makes interactions feel genuinely human.

Reduce text-to-speech costs while maintaining production-quality output for large-scale deployments

Realtime TTS-2 starts at $15/1M characters (enterprise rates as low as $10/1M), up to 80% cheaper than comparable providers. Volume discounts unlock at higher tiers (20-40% off), making it cost-effective for scaling voice applications.

Control voice tone, emotion, and delivery dynamically within conversations without re-recording or switching models

Advanced voice direction via bracketed inline instructions allows real-time adjustment of tone, speed, volume, vocal style, and pauses anywhere in text. Steering is faithful to prompts even for hyper-specific requests, enabling fresh and varied conversational experiences.

Integrate voice synthesis into production applications with reliable uptime, compliance, and enterprise support

Developer and Growth tiers offer priority email support, SOC2 Type II certification, GDPR compliance, and optional HIPAA/BAA. Enterprise tier includes SLA, DPA, on-prem deployment, and dedicated account management for mission-critical deployments.

Create custom branded voices or localize content across multiple languages without recording separate audio for each language

Voice cloning from 15 seconds of audio, text-based voice design, and cross-lingual support (100+ languages) allow users to create production-ready voices and deploy globally with a single voice identity speaking natively in any language without accent carryover.

Drop

Not a fit when

  • User needs only batch/offline text-to-speech without realtime latency requirements; Realtime TTS-2 is optimized for sub-130ms latency which adds cost
  • User requires only basic voice synthesis without advanced voice direction, steering, or emotional expressiveness control
  • User needs support for fewer than 15 languages; Realtime TTS-2 supports 100+ languages which may be unnecessary overhead
  • User operates on extremely tight budget with minimal monthly usage; free tier limited to 40 minutes, then per-character charges apply
  • User requires on-premises deployment without internet connectivity; Realtime TTS-2 is cloud-based API only
