});

PlayHT.stream("Hello from a realistic voice.", {voiceEngine: "Play3.0-mini"});

Upgrading to `Play3.0-mini`

Python SDK

Note that the new voice engine is Play3.0-mini, not PlayHT3.0

Play3.0-mini is multilingual! English is the default; to use a language other than English, pass a Language enum value (from pyht.client ) as the language argument to TTSOptions.
