About Inworld

Inworld is a research lab and inference provider focused on realtime AI for consumer-facing applications. It offers first-party text-to-speech and speech-to-text models alongside the large language models a customer chooses, plus the inference layer underneath, all delivered through modular APIs covering realtime TTS, realtime STT, LLM routing and dedicated GPU capacity.

Key features

  • Realtime TTS-2 with under 100ms time to first byte
  • TTS-2 Flash variant with 25ms time to first byte
  • Realtime speech-to-text API alongside text-to-speech
  • Voice cloning from 15 seconds of audio, cross-lingual in 200+ languages
  • Text-based voice design from described accent, age, tone and energy
  • Bracketed voice-direction instructions adjust tone, speed, volume and pauses
Best for: Developers and product teams building consumer-facing voice agents, companions, games or learning apps that need realtime speech and language model inference through APIs.
Good for
  • Modular APIs cover TTS, STT, LLM routing and the underlying inference in one provider
  • Stated latency targets of under 100ms TTFB for TTS-2 and 25ms for TTS-2 Flash
  • Cloned voices can be localized to 200+ languages while retaining speaker identity
Watch out for
  • A full public price list is not shown; listed rates are comparative examples tied to the Growth plan and enterprise scale
  • Cost-comparison and quality figures come from the vendor's own published rates and comparisons rather than independent measurement
  • Voice cloning and cloud-based speech services involve uploading audio, so output quality and usage depend on the vendor's infrastructure
