Voice Profile
Mirako define avatar's voice using voice profiles. There are two types of voice profiles:
- Premade Voice: Predefined voices that you can use directly.
- Custom Voice: Voices that you can create by cloning existing ones or uploading your own audio samples.
Each voice profile has a unique ID refered as voice_id, and you refer one of them for text-to-speech and interactive sessions.
Which voice profile should I use?
Premade voices let you get started quickly without any preparation required. Also, all premade voices are production-ready, which you can use it directly in your applications.
Custom voices are useful when you want to create a unique voice character for your avatar, or when you have a target voice for business use-cases. To create a custom voice, you'll need to prepare audio samples of the target voice, and go through the voice cloning process.
Note: Switching between premade and custom voices is simple. All you need to do is to change the
voice_idin your API request, following single code logic. However, please note that speech service using custom voices may induce a slightly higher charge than using premade voices.
