This endpoint only accepts application/json and application/msgpack.For best results, upload reference audio using the create model before using this one. This improves speech quality and reduces latency.To upload audio clips directly, without pre-uploading, serialize the request body with MessagePack as per the instructions.

Authorizations

​
Authorization
string
header
required

Bearer authentication header of the form Bearer <token>, where <token> is your auth token.

Headers

​
model
enum<string>
default:s1
required

Specify which TTS model to use. We recommend s1

Available options:
s1,
speech-1.6,
speech-1.5

Body

Request body for text-to-speech synthesis.

​
text
string
required

Text to convert to speech.

​
temperature
number
default:0.7

Controls expressiveness. Higher is more varied, lower is more consistent.

Required range: 0 <= x <= 1
​
top_p
number
default:0.7

Controls diversity via nucleus sampling.

Required range: 0 <= x <= 1
​
references
ReferenceAudio · object[] | null

Inline voice references for zero-shot cloning. Requires MessagePack (not JSON). Ignored if reference_id is provided.

​
reference_id
string | null

Voice model ID from the Fish Audio library or your custom models.

​
prosody
ProsodyControl · object

Speed and volume adjustments for the output.

​
chunk_length
integer
default:300

Text segment size for processing.

Required range: 100 <= x <= 300
​
normalize
boolean
default:true

Normalizes text for English and Chinese, improving stability for numbers.

​
format
enum<string>
default:mp3

Output audio format.

Available options:
wav,
pcm,
mp3,
opus
​
sample_rate
integer | null

Audio sample rate in Hz. When null, uses the format's default (44100 Hz for most formats, 48000 Hz for opus).

​
mp3_bitrate
enum<integer>
default:128

MP3 bitrate in kbps. Only applies when format is mp3.

Available options:
64,
128,
192
​
opus_bitrate
enum<integer>
default:-1000

Opus bitrate in bps. -1000 for automatic. Only applies when format is opus.

Available options:
-1000,
24,
32,
48,
64
​
latency
enum<string>
default:normal

Latency-quality trade-off. normal: best quality, balanced: reduced latency, low: lowest latency.

Available options:
low,
normal,
balanced
​
max_new_tokens
integer
default:1024

Maximum audio tokens to generate per text chunk.

​
repetition_penalty
number
default:1.2

Penalty for repeating audio patterns. Values above 1.0 reduce repetition.

​
min_chunk_length
integer
default:50

Minimum characters before splitting into a new chunk.

Required range: 0 <= x <= 100
​
condition_on_previous_chunks
boolean
default:true

Use previous audio as context for voice consistency.

​
early_stop_threshold
number
default:1

Early stopping threshold for batch processing.

Required range: 0 <= x <= 1
