Inworld TTS — Character & Emotion Voices

Inworld TTS-2 is purpose-built for character voices, gaming, and expressive speech. Use [brackets] inline for emotion, non-verbals, and delivery control:

# Expressive character voice with emotion steering
belt app run inworld/text-to-speech-2 --input '{
  "text": "[excited] Oh wow, you actually found the ancient artifact! [gasp] I cannot believe it... [whisper] We need to keep this between us.",
  "voice_id": "Sarah",
  "delivery_mode": "CREATIVE"
}'

# Calm narrator with stable delivery
belt app run inworld/text-to-speech-2 --input '{
  "text": "The sun set behind the mountains, casting long shadows across the valley. A new chapter was about to begin.",
  "voice_id": "Sarah",
  "delivery_mode": "STABLE"
}'

Delivery modes: STABLE (consistent, narration), BALANCED (natural, default), CREATIVE (expressive, characters)

Steering examples: [laugh], [sigh], [whisper], [excited], [sad], [angry], [pause], [gasp]

Built-in voices (271+ across 15 languages): Sarah, Alex, Ashley, Dennis, Hana, Blake, Luna, Clive, and many more. Browse all at the Inworld TTS Playground.

Speed and Pacing

# Slow narration
belt app run infsh/kokoro-tts --input '{
  "prompt": "Take a deep breath. Let yourself relax.",
  "voice": "bf_emma",
  "speed": 0.8
}'

Punctuation for Pacing

Use punctuation to control speech rhythm:

belt app run infsh/kokoro-tts --input '{
  "prompt": "Wait... Did you hear that? Something is coming. Something big!",
  "voice": "am_adam"
}'

Best Practices

1. Match voice to content - Professional voice for business, casual for social
2. Use punctuation - Control pacing with periods and commas
3. Keep sentences short - Easier to generate and sounds more natural
4. Test different voices - Same text sounds different across voices
5. Adjust speed - Slightly slower often sounds more natural
6. Break long content - Process in chunks for consistency

Use Cases

• Voiceovers - Video narration, commercials
• Audiobooks - Full book narration
• Podcasts - AI hosts and guests
• E-learning - Course narration
• Accessibility - Screen reader content
• IVR - Phone system messages
• Content localization - Translate and voice
