Simba Voice Agents: build production voice agents on Simba 3.2, the #1 model on Artificial Analysis. Sub-100ms, streaming-native, real emotion and SSML. The best real-time voice, now a full agent platform, on Speechify's new Speechify Developer Platform.
Hey folks! Luke here, I run developer relations at Speechify.
This is the underdog story for API providers. Speechify has spent years making our models run efficiently because our consumer business demanded it, tens of millions of listeners with some of the best voices on the planet. Commercially, the faster and more efficient it got, the better. And that work is why we can now put the best-rated model in the world on our API.
Simba 3.2 just went #1 on Artificial Analysis, and on Voice Arena it's the top real-time model for both quality and price, at $6 per 1M characters, the cheapest in the top ten. Capable of sub-100ms latency, streaming-native, with real emotion and SSML control. It's the same model that powers our consumer apps for 60M+ people, now rolling out on our new developer platform across SpeechifyAI Agents and SpeechifyAI Build, with a REST API and first-party TypeScript and Python SDKs.
Most labs built for the benchmark and priced for the enterprise. We built for listeners and priced for production.
Congratulations on the launch🎉🎉🎉. Really liked the comparison table, and absolutely loved the emotion control displayed on the website, can we also get different dialects of different languages like in arabic there are many dialects, so are there any options for that ?
sub-100ms streaming is the number that actually matters here, most "real-time" voice stacks stop being real-time once you add the network round trip. is that 100ms end-to-end including the hop, or just internal generation time?
sub-100ms at $6/1M chars is a serious combo. we're chasing similar latency for voice checkins but staying fully on-device instead of hitting an api — is that number end-to-end from audio in to first byte out, or just model inference?
Congrats to the entire team on the launch. Excited for people to start seeing Speechify as a developer & B2B platform beyond our consumer roots. We've learned so much about building a cost efficient, high quality, low latency voice model and serving it globally from our time in consumer and now pumped for other businesses and developers to make use of 5+ years of AI research we've been driving in-house.
@lukeocodes Fantastic! I'm checking it out right now. I'm currently using one of your competitors, but a quick glance at your site proves that a closer look is warranted. I need TTS and voice-agent. Congratulations on your launch!
Speechify being framed as an AI Voice Assistant makes me wonder about the core workflow you’re optimizing for. Is the main use case more around dictation, hands-free task execution, or connecting voice commands into AI workflow automation? Since it’s also listed near Developer Tools and AI Agents, I’d be interested to know whether there are integrations or APIs planned for teams that want to plug it into existing tools.
Congrats on the launch. Do you have any plans to make the speech-to-text/dictation feature available through APIs in the future? I'd love to be able to transcribe user speech directly inside my own app
@lukeoliff Congrats to the Speechify team! 🎉 Loved seeing this expand into a full developer platform.
Curious about voice customization on Speechify Developer Platform: can developers bring their own custom-cloned voices or fine-tuned emotion profiles onto the Simba 3.2 API, or is it currently optimized for Speechify's core library of voice models?
The way Speechify slides into Google Docs and Gmail without breaking your flow is genuinely clever, the keyboard shortcut overlay feels thoughtful and not at all clunky.
