Bonjour, je vous appelle de la clinique pour confirmer votre rendez-vous de demain à dix heures et demie. Cela vous convient toujours, ou préférez-vous un autre horaire ?

Votre commande a quitté notre entrepôt ce matin et devrait arriver jeudi. Si vous devez changer l'adresse de livraison, je peux le faire tout de suite.
Versa 2.0’s output for exactly the text shown, through the public API, unedited.
Text in, French out.
Text to speech turns written French 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.
Every voice speaks French, and a voice agent can listen and answer in French on the web or on the phone.

Common questions.
How much does French 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 French?
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, French included.
Can I clone a voice in French?
Yes. Record or upload 3 to 30 seconds of speech in the dashboard and the new voice speaks French and the other eight languages. Only clone a voice you own or have permission to use.
Can a voice agent hold a conversation in French?
Yes. A Lokutor voice agent listens and answers in French, on the web or on the phone, for about 5¢ a minute with the language model included.
