All requests require authentication with a bearer token in the Authorization header: Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY. See API authentication for how to create a key. The streaming endpoint returns audio bytes in the format specified by the Accept header.

Audio formats

Set the Accept header to one of the following values:

Deprecated aliases

Still accepted for backwards compatibility; new code should use the RFC types above.

Variable parameters

string
required
Must be a voice from the Rime voice catalog.
string
required
The text you’d like spoken. Character limit per request is 1,000 via the API and in the dashboard UI.
string
Set to mistv2.
string
default:"eng"
If provided, the language must match the language spoken by the selected speaker. Verify the pairing in the Rime voice catalog.
bool
default:"false"
When set to true, adds pauses between words enclosed in angle brackets. The number inside the brackets specifies the pause duration in milliseconds.
Example: “Hi. <200> I’d love to have a conversation with you.” adds a 200ms pause between the first and second sentences.
bool
default:"false"
When set to true, you can specify the phonemes for a word enclosed in curly brackets.
Example: “{h’El.o} World” will pronounce “Hello” as expected. Learn more about custom pronunciation.
string
Comma-separated list of speed values applied to words in square brackets. Values < 1.0 speed up speech, > 1.0 slow it down. Example: “This is [slow] and [fast]”, use “3, 0.5” to make “slow” slower and “fast” faster.
int
The value, if provided, must be between 4000 and 44100. Default depends on format (see table above).
float
default:"1.0"
Adjusts the speed of speech. Lower than 1.0 is faster and higher than 1.0 is slower.Note: this is the legacy Mist v2 convention. Coda and Mist v3 invert it; for those, higher than 1.0 is faster.
bool
default:"false"
mist/mistv2 only. Skips text normalization of the input text prior to synthesizing audio. This will reduce latency at the cost of some possible mispronunciation of digits and abbreviations.
