About TTS-1

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.

What is TTS-1 good for?

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

Where to be careful

  • 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.

Using TTS-1 from Singapore

Roar AI provides access to TTS-1 through the Roar AI gateway, charged in Singapore dollars on one bill with every other model. Requests from Singapore go through our gateway in Singapore. 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.",
)

Where is TTS-1 processed?

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