TTS-1 API in India

In Indian rupees, the currency your card is charged in, with the published US dollar rate beside each.

Every rate is published and stays the same from one request to the next. See every model.

Prices are our published US dollar rates converted at ₹98.00 to the dollar, our rate for October — the same rate your card is charged.

TTS-1 turns text into spoken audio fast enough for a live conversation. It comes with nine built-in voices, including alloy, nova and shimmer, and returns MP3, Opus, AAC, FLAC, WAV or raw PCM.

Speed is the trade: OpenAI says it is lower quality than its HD sibling, and unlike OpenAI’s newer speech models you cannot direct its tone or accent. For read-aloud features, voice replies and prototypes it is the inexpensive, dependable choice.

• Voice replies in real time.
• Reading app content aloud.
• Low-cost narration and prototypes.

• Audio quality is below OpenAI’s HD and newer speech models.
• Voices are tuned for English. Other languages work but can sound less natural.
• Up to 4,096 characters per request, so long text has to be split.

Roar AI provides access to TTS-1 through the Roar AI gateway, charged in Indian rupees on one bill with every other model. Requests from India go through our gateway in Bangalore. Developers can use TTS-1 alongside other supported models without a separate integration for every provider.

Use the OpenAI SDK you already have — point it at Roar AI and name the model. Read the docs.

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(base_url="https://api.roar-ai.com/v1", api_key="roar_live_…")

audio = client.audio.speech.create(
    model="tts-1",
    voice="alloy",
    input="Your order has been dispatched.",
)

Requests to TTS-1 are processed on international infrastructure, outside India. The model directory says where each model is processed.
