Builders now have 1,000+ new voices that are more expressive, built for more use cases, and fluent in more accents.
They cover English, French, Spanish, German and Portuguese, extend beyond customer service into narration, ads, social media and characters, and speak in 28 accents, from Scottish and Indian English to Quebecois French, Rioplatense Spanish and Swiss German.
