Octave TTS - Describe any AI voice and prompt its emotional delivery
by•
The first LLM for text-to-speech. While other TTS just “reads” words, Octave grasps their meaning. Create any AI voice with a descriptive prompt, guide its emotional delivery (angrier! more sarcasm!), and bring your stories to life with human-like expression.

I hacked together a quick prototype to get this added to Home Assistant. Works great with Home Assistant Voice 😎

This is next-level for text-to-speech! Traditional TTS often feels robotic because it lacks understanding of the emotional weight behind words. But the way Octave treats speech like a human actor, adjusting tone, pacing, and even sarcasm, makes it sound incredibly natural.
Congrats on the launch!
Best wishes and sending lots of wins to the team :) @achume

@whatshivamdo Thanks! We are excited to see the fun voices you create!
Octave is something new in the world of voiceovers! The intonation in voiceovers has always been a challenge, and I think with the intonation feature, it will be much more interesting)
