MiniMax TTS. Pick the emotion, hear the read.

Sceneform runs MiniMax Speech 2.8 HD, MiniMax's text to speech model. Below, it reads one line five ways. Only the Emotion setting changes.

The samples use MiniMax preset voices. MiniMax reads in voices made by cloning or voice design. To start in your first minute, Eleven v4 reads in ready-made library voices.

Beyond emotion.Five settings, and what each one moves.

The reads above leave all five at their defaults. Move one at a time and listen before you change the next.

  • Speed

    From 0.5 to 2, default 1. How fast the voice reads. 0.5 is half speed and 2 is double. The words stay the same.

  • Pitch

    From -12 to 12, default 0. Moves the voice up or down in semitones. Twelve semitones is one octave.

  • Intensity

    From -100 to 100, default 0. The energy of the delivery. Higher reads more energetic, lower reads quieter and flatter.

  • Timbre

    From -100 to 100, default 0. The tonal quality of the voice. 0 leaves the voice as it is.

  • Volume

    From 0.01 to 10, default 1. How loud the file comes out. 1 is the voice's normal level.

37 languages.Chinese and Cantonese are its strength.

A baker in a flour-dusted apron carries a tray of round loaves out of a small corner bakery at dawn, its shutter half raised.

Long scripts.Up to 10,000 characters a request.

The sample below is a short narration: 402 characters, 36 seconds, in a second preset voice, Patient Man, with every setting at its default. A full 10,000-character request at this pace runs about 15 minutes.

Every morning at six, the bakery on the corner rolls up its shutters. The first trays come out before the street lights go off. Nobody has ever written the recipe down. The owner learned it from her father, who learned it standing on a crate beside his mother. Forty years later, the bread still sells out by ten. Ask her for the secret and she shrugs. Get up early, she says, and don't rush the dough.
