Text-to-speech features

Voice agents need models that read the conversation, respond in as low as 80ms, and deploy where your data lives.

Trusted by enterprises and conversational AI leaders

Deepgram is making TTS part of the agent's conversational architecture rather than a layer developers have to tune line by line, and we're excited to bring that capability into the Pipecat ecosystem.

At jambonz, we know how important it is to build voice agents that hold up in production, especially when connecting AI applications to live phone calls. Deepgram Flux TTS tackles a problem every voice AI developer encounters: speech that flattens over the course of a conversation and forces teams into endless SSML tuning. By combining conversation-aware speech with low-latency performance and deployment flexibility, Deepgram gives teams a way to improve the caller experience without having to hand-tune every turn or give up control of their stack.

We evaluate voice agents every day at Coval, and the failure modes on the TTS side are remarkably consistent: tone that flattens by minute three, expressiveness that requires heavy SSML tuning, and inconsistency across turns that breaks the sense of a real conversation. Deepgram Flux TTS is the first model we've seen that tackles those issues directly, treating the conversation as the unit rather than the individual line. That gives voice agent teams a TTS model that can hold up under the same rigorous, scenario-based evaluation we apply to the rest of the stack, and greater confidence in how their agents will perform in production.

Making [Flux TTS] available on LiveKit's agent platform gives developers a way to add conversation-aware voice to the same real-time infrastructure they already build and deploy on.

When we first heard Alexis, we were genuinely surprised. Human, expressive, like a patient and friendly teacher. In our testing it just felt human, and for children, that matters because they have less patience and tolerance. That's why we're moving off ElevenLabs and sticking with Deepgram.
