venice-audio-speech
Venice TTS (/audio/speech)
POST /api/v1/audio/speech converts text to an audio stream or file. OpenAI-compatible — the OpenAI SDK's audio.speech.create() works as a drop-in.
Use when
- You want narration, voice replies, or UI audio from text.
- You need a specific voice family (ElevenLabs, Kokoro, xAI, Qwen 3, Orpheus, Chatterbox, MiniMax, Inworld, Gemini Flash).
- You want streaming audio returned sentence-by-sentence.
- You need style/emotion control on supported models.
For music generation (lyrics + instrumental), see venice-audio-music. For transcription (audio → text), see venice-audio-transcription.
