Reference voice

Clone a voice instantly with ref_audio and ref_text.
curl https://api.boson.ai/v1/audio/speech \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $BOSON_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "higgs-audio-v3-tts",
    "input": "Hello, this is a test.",
    "ref_audio": "https://docs.boson.ai/public/audio/sample.mp3",
    "ref_text": "Same voice, same words, and uh, a completely different presence. I was built for chat native voice, real-time, expressive, and controllable."
  }' \
  --output out.mp3
ref_audio can be a URL or the base64-encoded bytes of a local audio file. Supported formats are wav, mp3, opus, pcm and flac. We recommend 5-30 seconds of clean speech, with no music or background voices. Although ref_text is optional, we recommend providing a verbatim transcript of the reference audio, including filler words.
You must own the right to clone the voice.

Custom voices

Custom voices work like reference voices, but you can reuse the returned voice ID instead of sending ref_audio on every request. First, create a voice ID from reference audio and text. Then pass that ID to voice, just like a preset voice.
