TTS Studio preview

Text-to-speech has gotten incredibly good. But the tooling for designing voice experiences is still stuck in the dark ages — type text, click play, tweak a slider, repeat. We built TTS Studio to make voice design feel like a creative tool.

The Vision

TTS Studio is a workspace for designing expressive voice experiences. Think of it as Figma for voice: you can prototype, iterate, and preview voice outputs in real-time with fine-grained control over tone, pacing, and emotion.

Key Features

Live preview — Hear changes as you make them. No waiting for generation, no page refreshes. Deepgram's Aura model is fast enough to stream output in real-time.

Voice profiles — Save and reuse voice configurations. A "friendly support agent" profile, a "serious news anchor" profile, a "casual podcast host" profile — switch between them instantly.

SSML visual editor — Nobody likes writing SSML by hand. The visual editor lets you add pauses, emphasis, and pitch changes by highlighting text and choosing from a palette.

A/B comparison — Generate two versions side by side and compare. Essential for dialing in the right tone.

What We Learned

The biggest surprise was how much context matters for TTS quality. The same sentence sounds completely different depending on what comes before and after it. We ended up adding a "context window" feature that lets you provide surrounding text to improve generation quality.
