Preview for Kokoro TTS

Catalog preview for Kokoro TTS. Review your own result before publishing.

A starting point.

Use finished narration text rather than a description of a voice. Punctuation helps you plan pauses before generating the recording.

Before you publish.

Listen to names, numbers and abbreviations against the script. Check pacing at the intended playback speed.

Review the quote before running. A failed generation releases its reserved credits. Download the results you want to keep; stored media is retained for 30 days.

Inputs and settings

Provide nonempty text in prompt and choose a documented American English voice ID through voice, such as af_heart.

Start speed at 1, then adjust only pacing. Raywake accepts 0.1–5; extreme values need listening checks rather than assuming speech stays intelligible.

Use Kokoro TTS through the API.

Start with this model ID for the endpoint featured on this page:

kokoro/american-english

Input requirements belong to this model ID. Check a different mode’s schema separately when switching modes.

Check the current model schema for supported inputs and options. Other tasks may use different model IDs.

From quote to result.

Request a credit quote for your input and settings before submitting a generation. A sample output or the price of another model is not a quote for your request.

Follow the generation workflow, then poll the job for its status and result. The API and studio use the same balance.
