Voices

Rime’s TTS voice catalog across Coda and Mist: voices in English, Arabic, Dutch, French, German, Hindi, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, and Spanish, and how to pick a starter voice.

Set speaker on every TTS request. For a first Coda request, try astra. For the complete, current lineup, use the live catalog endpoints.

Starter voices to try

These speakers are confirmed to work on Rime’s primary cloud models. All of them serve English.

Speaker	Sounds like	Works on
astra	Female, young adult, American Standard	Coda, Mist v3
luna	Female, young adult, American	Coda, Mist v3
celeste	Female, young adult, American	Coda
masonry	Male, middle-aged, Southern	Coda
albion	Male, young adult, English	Coda
cove	Female, young adult, African American	Mist v3

To compare voices, keep text the same and change only speaker. Use a line your application will actually say, such as an order update or an appointment reminder. A voice that suits a greeting may sound different reading a phone number, a date, or an address, so include those if your application speaks them.

Browse every voice

The starter table above is a curated handful. These pages list every voice on Rime’s two primary cloud models, grouped by language, with gender, age, and country for each.

Coda voices

313 voices across 10 languages. Rime’s flagship model for most new applications.

Mist v3 voices

78 voices across 4 languages. The default when modelId is omitted.

For the machine-readable source that these pages are generated from:

• Voice names by model and language: /data/voices/all-v2.json
• Demographics and other metadata: /data/voices/voice_details.json

Both endpoints are public and update as voices ship, so they can list a voice before these pages do.

Languages

Pass lang as a BCP 47 language tag. Language support varies by model and deployment. As of October 2026, Rime’s primary cloud models support the following languages:

Language	lang	Coda	Mist v3
Arabic	ar	✅	❌
Dutch	nl	✅	❌
English	en	✅	✅
French	fr	✅	✅
German	de	✅	✅
Hindi	hi	✅	❌
Italian	it	✅	❌
Japanese	ja	✅	❌
Portuguese	pt	✅	❌
Spanish	es	✅	✅

Rime also accepts the 3-letter ISO 639-2 codes (eng, ger, spa) that older integrations send, and will keep accepting them. New code should send the tag in the table: only a tag can express a regional variant such as es-MX.

On-prem image coverage differs from the cloud matrix (see the on-prem quickstart).

A voice serves one language, so picking a language narrows your choices. Coda covers ten languages, but no individual Coda voice crosses between them: 185 of its 313 voices are English, then Spanish 50, Portuguese 23, Japanese 21, French 12, German 9, Arabic 6, Italian 4, Hindi 2, and Dutch 1. Set lang to the language of the voice you chose. An unsupported pairing may not return an error, so verify against the Coda catalog rather than assuming a familiar voice speaks your language.

lawton (Male, 60+) is a sixteenth featured Coda voice. It carries no style assignment in the catalog, so it does not appear in the tables above.

Mist v3 voices

Mist v3 carries 78 voices across English, French, German, and Spanish. Browse them in the Mist v3 catalog.

If you’re moving from Mist v1 or Mist v2, check that your speaker is in that catalog before you change modelId. See Move from Mist v1 or Mist v2 to Mist v3.
