Emotion is a direction, not a dataset
How Forge v3 learned to take stage directions — [whispers], [laughs], [sighs] — from text alone, and why we evaluate acting, not just pronunciation.
Giving every idea
a voice of its own
One platform for the people and machines that speak. ForgeStudio for creators, ForgeAgents for customer experience, and the voice API developers build on — all from the same research lab.

Beyond the last buoy, the water changed colour — a deep green that the charts refused to name, as though the sea kept one shade for itself.
The lighthouse keeper logged it without comment, the way he logged everything the island did not explain.

On the first morning of the voyage, the crew found frost on the inside of the sails. [whispers] Nobody mentioned it at breakfast. [laughs] By noon, the whole ship was pretending not to be cold.
Emotion tags perform as they’re read
All-in-one AI editor
Podcasts, audiobooks and voiceovers, edited on a timeline built on our full audio research stack.
Ultra-realistic speech
Controllable, expressive speech with breath, pace and emphasis — layered across 40+ languages.
Music
Studio-length tracks in any genre, with vocals or purely instrumental.
SFX
Custom sound effects, soundscapes and ambience from a sentence of description.
Voices
Clone your own voice, design one from a prompt, or license from 6,000+ library voices.
Dubbing & Video

Six thousand voices. Start with these nine.
Every voice is licensed for commercial use and rendered by the same models as the studio. Press play — each sample is spoken live by your browser, tuned to the voice’s pitch and pace.
No voices match that search. Try a different word — “deep”, “bright”, “elder”.
Configure, deploy and monitor natural, human-sounding agents in 40+ languages, with low-latency voice or chat and a full audit trail of every decision.

What teams make once everything can speak
Research that redefines how people and machines talk
We train our own foundation models — starting with a voice model that could hesitate, laugh and whisper, and now reaching into transcription, music and agents that act.
Forge v3
Our fastest and most expressive voice model yet — directed mid-sentence with plain-language tags.

Latency budgets for live conversation
Humans notice a pause at 300 milliseconds. The engineering diary of getting streamed speech under a tenth of that, end to end.

Transcription that keeps the mess
Overlaps, false starts and crosstalk carry meaning. Forge Scribe preserves them — and support QA teams finally get the full call.
FAQ
Questions, answered out loud
The short version of everything teams ask before their first render, call or API key.
Yes. Record three minutes of clean audio, verify it is you with a spoken captcha, and your clone is ready in about a minute. Clones are locked to your account, watermarked in the audio stream, and can be deleted permanently at any time.
Speech generation covers 40+ languages including English, Indonesian, Spanish, German, Japanese, Hindi and Arabic. The same voice can read across languages while keeping its timbre, and dubbing preserves the original speaker in every target language.
One credit is roughly one character of generated speech on Forge Multilingual, with Forge v3 priced slightly higher per character and Flash slightly lower. Transcription is billed per minute of audio and agent conversations per minute connected. The usage page shows every charge against the render or call that caused it.
They act through tools you approve: checking orders, issuing refunds within limits you set, booking and rescheduling, updating CRM records. Anything outside its guardrails is escalated to a human with a full transcript and summary attached.
Every render carries an inaudible provenance watermark and C2PA metadata identifying it as synthetic. Voice cloning requires proof of consent, and a public blocklist prevents cloning of people who have opted out.
Every account starts with 10,000 free credits a month and full API access — no card required. The same keys work across speech, transcription, music and agents, with per-key spend limits for production safety.
