Works with
STTRouterTTS

Your companion notices how the user actually sounds.

When a user is tired, anxious, or lit up, the reply matches. The voice softens, speeds up, leans in, without you wiring any of that by hand.

Works with
Router

Right-size the model for each user, not each build.

Free tier stays on a fast, cheap model. Premium gets the best reasoning. Japan gets the multilingual one. Your app never has to learn which.

FAQ

Consumer companion apps, AI friendship and roleplay platforms, character-based chat apps, AI dating, faith-based companions, and language-learning or wellness companions. Anything where users return daily to talk to a persistent persona.
Inworld TTS sits at the top of the Artificial Analysis Speech Arena: 3 of the top 5 voices are ours. Pick from a library, clone from audio, or design from a prompt. Quality holds under consumer load because Inworld is built for production scale, not demo traffic.
Wishroll cut 95% of AI cost moving from ElevenLabs to Inworld TTS at 500K+ DAU (a published case study). Additional consumer companion customers report similar magnitudes. The math works because TTS pricing is designed for consumer scale, and Router lets you pick cheaper models per tier without dropping voice quality.
Any LLM through the Router: GPT, Claude, Gemini, Llama, Mistral, and hundreds more. Switch providers in one field. Your companion isn't locked to a model vendor.
Yes. Use the Realtime API to make your companion full-duplex voice. Wellness and companion customers run on it, and additional companion customers are integrating for live experiences.
Instant voice cloning with 5-15 seconds of audio; professional cloning for higher fidelity. Per-user custom voices are supported at scale. Licensing is yours; Inworld doesn't resell the voices.
WebSocket, WebRTC, and SIP on the same endpoint. On-premise available for enterprise. GDPR and SOC 2 Type II compliant. Zero data retention on TTS.
No. Inworld is models and APIs only: no consumer companion app, no marketplace, no licensed voices that might show up alongside yours. This is a structural commitment, not a promise.

Ship the companion your users stay in.

Top-ranked voice. Any LLM. Consumer-scale cost math. A provider that doesn't compete with your app.
