We are excited to launch Pro V2 voices, a truly directable text to speech engine with natural language. They can follow complex directions like emotions, speaking speeds, accents and more! Pro V2 is the most expressive set of voices we have launched to date, perfectly delivering your script to life.



Let&#8217;s dig in deeper into the capabilities of Pro V2 voices. 



To direct the AI Voices, all you need to do is add your directions in square brackets [directions] before your script. We provide a cursory comparison to ElevenLabs as a benchmark.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Complex directions: Getting in character and situation</h3>



[read like a professor who is super sick and old, wailing, low energy] Healthcare data is highly valuable, and a breach can have far-reaching consequences, both for patients and for the organizations that manage their care. A single breach of sensitive medical information can lead to identity theft, fraud, and in some cases, even blackmail.

[speak to injured in a calming way, then shout at someone for help with high energy] Stay still. Don&#8217;t move. You&#8217;re bleeding badly. But you will be OK, we will get you help. Someone, get a cloth or towel to press on this wound! Call 911!
