About
MAI-Voice-2.1 is Microsoft's hosted text-to-speech model for developers building voice-enabled products. It generates expressive speech from text, supports multilingual output across 23 languages, and offers emotion and style controls, long-form speaker consistency, and gated matching to consented reference voices. Developers access it through Microsoft Foundry and Azure Speech APIs and SDKs for narration, audiobooks, voice assistants, and customer-service experiences.

About
Speechify’s text-to-speech API offers a family of Simba models for real-time voice generation across English, European languages, and broader multilingual use cases. Simba 3.2 is recommended for new English integrations, providing streaming-native synthesis, the lowest time to first byte, richer expressivity than earlier generations, and full support for SSML and emotion control. Simba 3.0 extends streaming-native speech to English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, and Brazilian Portuguese, with language selection handled through the request or voice locale. Simba Multilingual supports 35 locales across 30 languages, including mixed-language content and automatic language detection, while Simba English remains available as a legacy model for compatibility. Developers select a model through one parameter and can switch without changing the rest of the request structure, including voice, format, and SSML settings.
