Introducing Ideogram V2 Turbo on WaveSpeedAI

The quest for AI-generated images with legible, accurate text has long been one of the most challenging frontiers in generative AI. While models like Midjourney and DALL-E have excelled at artistic expression, they’ve consistently stumbled when it comes to rendering readable text within images. That changes with Ideogram V2 Turbo, now available on WaveSpeedAI—bringing industry-leading text rendering capabilities to your creative workflow with the speed and reliability you need.

What is Ideogram V2 Turbo?

Ideogram V2 Turbo is a state-of-the-art text-to-image generation model developed by Ideogram AI that has fundamentally changed expectations for text rendering in AI-generated images. Where competitors produce garbled or nonsensical text approximately 50% of the time, Ideogram V2 Turbo achieves accurate text rendering in 85-90% of cases—making it the undisputed leader for any project where typography matters.

Built on Ideogram’s breakthrough research in visual text generation, the V2 Turbo variant delivers high-quality results with faster generation times, perfect for rapid iteration and production workflows. In benchmark evaluations, Ideogram V2 has achieved an Arena ELO score of 1102 with a 63% win rate, outperforming both DALL-E 3 HD (984 ELO, 51% win rate) and competing directly with Midjourney V6.1 (1093 ELO, 64% win rate).

Key Features

Superior Text Rendering: Generate images with accurate, readable text in multiple fonts, sizes, and styles. Whether you need elegant script, bold sans-serif, or neon signage, Ideogram V2 Turbo delivers where other models fail.
Multi-Mode Generation: Works seamlessly as a text-to-image generator, image-to-image transformer, and inpainting tool—all in one model.
Advanced Inpainting: Use mask images for precise, targeted image editing. White areas in your mask will be regenerated based on your prompt while black areas remain untouched.
Built-in Prompt Enhancer: AI-powered prompt optimization helps you achieve better results without needing to master complex prompting techniques.
Style Presets: Choose from multiple style options including Auto mode, which lets the model intelligently select the best approach for your prompt.
Flexible Aspect Ratios: Generate images in 16:9, 1:1, 9:16, and other aspect ratios to match your specific use case—from social media posts to banners and mobile content.

Getting Started on WaveSpeedAI

Using Ideogram V2 Turbo on WaveSpeedAI is straightforward. Here’s a quick example using the WaveSpeed Python SDK:

import wavespeed

output = wavespeed.run(
    "ideogram-ai/ideogram-v2-turbo",
    {
        "prompt": "A coffee shop storefront sign reading \"THE MORNING BREW\" in elegant gold lettering on dark wood",
    },
)

print(output["outputs"][0])

For inpainting, simply add your source image and mask:

import wavespeed

output = wavespeed.run(
    "ideogram-ai/ideogram-v2-turbo",
    {
        "prompt": "A neon sign reading \"OPEN 24/7\" in bright pink and blue",
        "image": "https://your-image-url.com/storefront.png",
        "mask_image": "https://your-image-url.com/mask.png",
    },
)

print(output["outputs"][0])

Pro Tips for Best Results

Quote your text: Include the exact text you want rendered in quotation marks within your prompt (e.g., “a poster saying “SUMMER SALE"").
Specify font styles: Add descriptors like “bold sans-serif,” “elegant script,” “vintage typewriter,” or “neon sign” to guide the typography.
Choose appropriate aspect ratios: Use 16:9 for banners and headers, 1:1 for social posts, and 9:16 for mobile and story content.
Use inpainting strategically: When editing specific regions, describe the entire scene context—not just the area being modified.
