Learn about the different voice models supported by the API
The options available and characteristics of generated audio will depend on the AI model that is used to synthesise the voice.
PlayHT API supports different types of models: 'PlayHT2.0', 'PlayHT2.0-turbo', 'PlayHT1.0' and 'Standard'. Some APIs will only work with specific models. For APIs that support 'Standard' voice engine, see the Standard & Premium Voices section. The other sections are for APIs that operate on PlayHT voices.
