About Maya1 tts
Maya1 tts speaks one text at a time in a voice you describe in your own words. You write the Text, describe the speaker in the Prompt, and get back an audio file of the speech.
In the Prompt you can mention things like age, accent, pitch, pacing, tone and intensity. Inside the Text you can add emotion tags anywhere. Put an emotion word such as excited or sigh in angle brackets, at the point where it should happen. Seventeen emotions are available, including laugh, sigh, whisper, cry and sing.
Several settings can be changed. Temperature (0 to 2, starting at 0.4) gives more stable audio when low and more variation when high. Repetition Penalty (1 to 2, starting at 1.1) cuts down repetition glitches when raised. Sample Rate lets you choose 48 kHz (kilohertz), which gives higher quality, or 24 kHz, which is faster. It starts at 48 kHz. Maya1 tts costs about 100 credits for 5s. Maya batch has the same price and takes lists of texts.
