Gemini 3.1 Flash Tts by Google - convert text to natural-sounding speech with AI. Supports multiple voices, languages, emotions, and speaking styles for content creation and accessibility.

Request body

Submit an async generation request. The model field selects the model; other fields are model-specific input parameters.

stringmodelrequired

Model identifier. Set to google/gemini-3.1-flash-tts.

Default: google/gemini-3.1-flash-tts

stringpromptrequired

The text to convert to speech. Gemini 3.1 Flash TTS supports natural-language prompting for style, pace, accent, and emotional expression — include delivery instructions inline with the text (e.g. 'Say cheerfully: Have a wonderful day!'). Supports expressive audio tags like [sigh], [laughing], [whispering], [short pause] for fine-grained control over delivery. For multi-speaker synthesis, prefix lines with speaker aliases defined in the speakers field (e.g. 'Alice: Hello!\nBob: Hi!').

Optional<string>output_format

Audio output format. mp3: compressed, small file size (recommended). wav: uncompressed PCM wrapped in WAV (24 kHz, 16-bit mono). ogg_opus: Ogg container with Opus codec, good quality-to-size ratio.

Allowed values: wav, mp3, ogg_opus

Default: mp3

Optional<number>temperature

Controls the randomness of the speech output. Higher values produce more creative and varied delivery, while lower values make the output more predictable and focused.

Range: 0 to 2

Default: 1

Optional<array<object>>speakers
