Post-apocalyptic radio broadcast audio: an old radio studio at night, microphone static, rain hitting cracked windows, emergency lights buzzing, papers shaking from distant explosions. A tired male radio host speaks into the microphone: “If anyone can hear this, stay away from the northern bridge. The city is not safe anymore.” Realistic radio voice, emotional, tense, cinematic, no music.
ByteDance Seed Audio generates natural speech and audio from a text prompt. It supports preset voices, optional reference audio clips, optional image guidance, and common audio output controls such as format, sample rate, speed, volume, and pitch.
Natural speech and audio generation

Preset voice support
Choose from multiple preset voices for text-to-speech generation.
Reference audio guidance
Upload up to 3 reference audio clips to guide the generated voice or audio style.
Image guidance support
Provide a single reference image to guide audio generation.
Flexible audio controls
Adjust output format, sample rate, speed, volume, and pitch to match your workflow.

ByteDance Seed Audio 1.0 Text to Audio generates natural speech and audio from text prompts, with optional preset voice, reference audio, or reference image guidance for flexible audio creation. Ready-to-use REST inference API, best performance, no coldstarts, affordable pricing. You can call it programmatically or try it from the playground above.
POST your input parameters to the model's REST endpoint (shown in the API tab of this playground) with your WaveSpeedAI API key in the Authorization header. Submission returns a prediction ID; poll the prediction endpoint until status flips to "completed", then read the output URL from the result. The playground generates a ready-to-paste code sample in Python, JavaScript, or cURL for whatever inputs you've set. Full request/response shape is documented at https://wavespeed.ai/docs/docs-api/bytedance/bytedance-seed-audio-1.0.
Seed Audio 1.0 starts at $0.090 per run. That figure is the base price — the final charge scales with the parameters you set in the form (output size, length, count, references, or whatever knobs this model exposes), so a higher-quality or larger output costs more than a minimal one. The exact cost for your current input is shown live next to the Generate button before you submit, and the actual per-call charge is recorded on the prediction afterwards.
Key inputs: `prompt`, `image`, `audio`, `output_format`, `pitch`, `sample_rate`. The full JSON schema (types, defaults, allowed values) is rendered above the Generate button and mirrored in the API reference at https://wavespeed.ai/docs/docs-api/bytedance/bytedance-seed-audio-1.0.
Sign up for a free WaveSpeedAI account to claim starter credits, copy your API key from /accesskey, then call the endpoint shown in the API tab of the playground. The playground also auto-generates a code sample in Python, JavaScript, or cURL for the parameters you've set.
Commercial usage rights depend on the model's license, set by its provider (ByteDance). The license summary appears on the model card above; see WaveSpeedAI's Terms of Service for platform-level conditions.
