Maximum input of 2,000 characters. voice\_id `string`requireddefault: Dennisenum: Loretta, Darlene, Marlene, Hank, Evelyn, Celeste, Pippa, Tessa, Liam, Callum, Hamish, Abby, Graham, Rupert, Mortimer, Snik, Anjali, Saanvi, Arjun, Claire, Oliver, Simon, Elliot, James, Serena, Gareth, Vinny, Lauren, Jessica, Ethan, Tyler, Jason, Chloe, Veronica, Victoria, Miranda, Sebastian, Victor, Malcolm, Nate, Brian, Amina, Kelsey, Derek, Evan, Kayla, Jake, Grant, Tristan, Nadia, Selene, Marcus, Riley, Damon, Cedric, Mia, Naomi, Jonah, Levi, Avery, Brandon, Conrad, Bianca, Lucian, Trevor, Alex, Ashley, Craig, Deborah, Dennis, Edward, Elizabeth, Hades, Julia, Pixie, Mark, Olivia, Priya, Ronald, Sarah, Shaun, Theodore, Timothy, Wendy, Dominus, Hana, Clive, Carter, Blake, Luna, Reed, Duncan, Felix, Eleanor, SophieThe ID of the voice to use for synthesizing speech. Defaults to Dennis. output\_format `string`requireddefault: mp3enum: mp3, opus, wav, flacThe output format for the audio. Supported formats are mp3, opus, wav, and flac. Defaults to mp3. bit\_rate `integer`minimum: \-9007199254740991maximum: 9007199254740991Bits per second of the audio. Only for compressed audio formats (mp3, opus). The default is 128,000. sample\_rate `integer`minimum: \-9007199254740991maximum: 9007199254740991The synthesis sample rate in hertz. Accepts: 8000, 16000, 22050, 24000, 32000, 44100, 48000\. The default is 48,000. speaking\_rate `number`minimum: 0.5maximum: 1.5Speaking rate/speed, in the range \[0.5, 1.5\]. The default is 1.0\. We recommend using values above 0.8 to ensure high quality. temperature `number`requireddefault: 1minimum: 0.01maximum: 2Determines the degree of randomness when sampling audio tokens. Defaults to 1.0\. Accepts values between 0 (exclusive) and 2 (inclusive). Higher values = more expressive, lower values = more deterministic. timestamp\_type `string`requireddefault: noneenum: none, word, characterControls timestamp metadata returned with the audio. "word" returns word-level timing, "character" returns character-level timing. Note: adds latency. Defaults to none. apply\_text\_normalization `boolean`When enabled, text normalization expands numbers, dates, times, and abbreviations before converting to speech. Turning this off may reduce latency. audio `string`URL to the generated audio file ## API Schemas (Raw) Input [ ](https://developers.cloudflare.com/ai/models/inworld/tts-2/schema-input.json "Open") [ ](https://developers.cloudflare.com/ai/models/inworld/tts-2/schema-input.json "Download") Output [ ](https://developers.cloudflare.com/ai/models/inworld/tts-2/schema-output.json "Open") [ ](https://developers.cloudflare.com/ai/models/inworld/tts-2/schema-output.json "Download") ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","@id":"https://developers.cloudflare.com/ai/models/inworld/tts-2/#page","headline":"Inworld TTS 2 (Inworld) · Cloudflare AI docs · Cloudflare AI docs","description":"Inworld's most powerful and expressive text-to-speech model.
