Today we're releasing Bulbul V3, our most capable text-to-speech model designed to deliver natural, expressive and production-ready voices for Indian languages.
Voice is how India uses technology.
Digital-native platforms onboard gig workers through voice agents, with no forms and no apps to download, just conversation.
Students ask AI tutors to explain concepts in their native language.
Banks handle customer queries through voice at volumes that would be impossible for human agents alone.
Gamers interact with characters who speak back in their language.
These experiences demand Indian voices that are natural, expressive, and production-grade.
Indian speech is complex by default.
People switch languages mid-sentence.
Accents vary by region.
Names, abbreviations, and emotions matter as much as words.
To work in India, voice has to handle all of this without breaking.
Bulbul V3 was evaluated in an independent third-party blind A/B human listening study across 11 languages.
The results show that Bulbul V3 sets a new standard on three dimensions that matter most for real-world speech systems.
