Versa 2.0’s output for exactly the text shown, through the public API, unedited.
Text in, English out.
Text to speech turns written English into spoken audio. Ours is Versa, a speech model we train ourselves: it generates each chunk of sound in parallel instead of one token at a time, so the first audio arrives in about 65 ms and the rest streams behind it.
Any of the ten voices speaks English, and so does any voice you clone, whatever language it was recorded in.
- VoicesTen built in, and all of them speak English.
- Your voiceA new voice from 3 to 30 seconds of speech, no training.
- Price$4.10 per million characters, prepaid, no plan.
- Voice agentsAgents listen and answer in English, on the web or the phone.

Common questions.
How much does English text to speech cost?
$4.10 per million characters, the same in every language, billed per character from a prepaid balance. New accounts get $5 of credit with no card, about 1.2 million characters.
Which voices speak English?
All ten. Versa is zero-shot, so a voice is a timbre rather than a language: every voice speaks every one of our nine languages, English included.
Can I clone a voice in English?
Yes. Record or upload 3 to 30 seconds of speech in the dashboard and the new voice speaks English and the other eight languages. Only clone a voice you own or have permission to use.
Can a voice agent hold a conversation in English?
Yes. A Lokutor voice agent listens and answers in English, on the web or on the phone, for about 5¢ a minute with the language model included.
