Supported Models

Below are the MiniMax speech models and their key features.

Supported Languages

MiniMax TTS models provide strong cross-lingual capabilities, supporting 40 widely used global languages. Our goal is to break language barriers and build truly universal AI models.

Endpoints

All three synchronous TTS APIs support the following domains. For US West, api-uw.minimax.io is recommended, with reduced Time to First Audio (TTFA).

Streaming Request Example

This guide demonstrates streaming playback of synthesized audio while saving the full audio file. ⚠️ Note: To play audio streams in real-time, install MPV player first. Also, ensure your API Key is set in the environment variable MINIMAX_API_KEY. Request example:

Synchronous Text to Speech (HTTP)

Submit the full text in a single HTTP request and get the synthesized audio back, with optional streaming output.

Synchronous Text to Speech (WebSocket)

Send text sentence by sentence over a WebSocket connection and receive streamed audio, suited for low-latency real-time playback.

Bidirectional Streaming Text to Speech (WebSocket)

Stream text over a WebSocket connection at any granularity (even character by character); the server buffers it into sentences before synthesis, ideal for piping LLM streaming output into speech.

Rate Limits

Rate limits are restrictions that our API imposes on the number of times a user or client can access our services within a specified period of time.
