Minimax Speech 2.5 Hd Preview API Documentation
Playground
Try it on WaveSpeedAI!MiniMax Speech 2.5 HD Preview offers HD TTS with enhanced multilingual expressiveness, accurate voice cloning, and 40-language support. Ready-to-use REST API, best performance, no coldstarts, affordable pricing.
Features
MiniMax’s high-definition text-to-speech model with natural pronunciation and clear articulation. Features multiple voice options, adjustable speed, volume, and pitch controls for professional-grade audio generation.
Features
Three major breakthroughs: stronger multilingual performance, more lifelike tone, and 40 languages covered — now with real-time streaming capabilities for low-latency audio generation.
Leapfrogging multilingual performance
- Chinese is the world’s strongest, English and other languages have been comprehensively improved in terms of accuracy, similarity, and natural rhythm, surpassing the previous generation Speech 02.
- English similarity has been significantly improved, and 40 languages can be switched at will, making it no longer “mechanical” in commercial meetings, daily conversations, and English podcasts.
Lifelike tone replication
- Across languages, accents, styles, and emotions, with industry-leading precision in detail.
- The model can still achieve “voice”-like realism in extreme scenarios, such as cross-language accent preservation, regional accent preservation, and special age voice replication.
40 languages are now supported
- Diversified high-quality audio library, globalized and unobstructed.
- New additions include Bulgarian, Danish, Hebrew, Malay, Persian, Slovak, Swedish, Croatian, Filipino, Hungarian, Norwegian, Slovenian, Catalan, Nynorsk, Tamil, Afrikaans…
- Cross-border e-commerce, overseas customer service, and localized marketing are now easier than ever with globalized content creation at your fingertips.
- Streaming mode: generate and play audio as it’s being synthesized for real-time applications.
