Hume AI Octave goes beyond traditional TTS systems, which typically only offer a selection of a few preset voices and intonations. This model is built on research in empathic AI and is capable of understanding and reproducing the subtlest nuances of human speech. Developers can use the Octave API to dynamically generate audio where the emotional tone changes depending on the dialogue context or text content. For example, in an interactive story, a character's voice can become frightened when encountering danger or joyful upon reaching a goal. Control is managed through a simple and intuitive syntax directly in the request, eliminating the need for complex markup or SSML tags. Octave is intended for developers of voice assistants, content creators (podcasts, audiobooks, video games), and companies seeking to create more human and personalized interactions with their users.
