#Realtime TTS-2 Flash starts every sentence cleanly

Text to speechFix

Realtime TTS-2 Flash voices no longer clip the opening sound of a sentence, so words like “Seven” and “Tomorrow” come through whole.

#Decision models

ModelsPreview

Decision models return typed answers your code can branch on, through the Decisions API and the Portal playground. The lineup now includes Cloudflare Clef, Clef Flash, Liquid AI D1, OpenAI GPT 6 Luna Decisions, TypeSafe Jev and Jev 1.13.

#Video generation models

Models

Generate video through the Video API and the Portal playground with Alibaba Wan 3.0, MiniMax H3 and xAI Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite. Supported models can also start from a first frame or reference images.

#Speech to text in Europe and Asia Pacific

Speech to text

Run speech to text in our Europe and Asia Pacific regions, so audio stays in the region and people nearby get their transcripts sooner. Regional deployments are on Enterprise plans.

#Usage API

BillingExperimental

On Builder plans and above, you can pull your usage into your own systems with the Usage API.

#Lip-sync for Realtime TTS-2

Text to speech

Realtime TTS-2 now returns lip-sync timings, so your characters' mouths move in time with their speech.

#Muse models from Meta

Models

Muse Glimmer 30B and Muse Spark 1.3 are now available through Inworld Inference. Muse Glimmer 30B is a reasoning model with function calling and structured output, built for multi-step problems where accuracy matters most.

#Request IDs on every API response

APIs

Every API response now includes an x-request-id header, and you can send your own x-inworld-client-request-id to Inference, text to speech and speech to text. Include either one in a support ticket and we can trace the exact request.

#Inworld tools for coding agents

Developer tools

With the Inworld CLI 1.3.1 and the Claude Code plugin, your coding agent can synthesize speech, transcribe audio, clone voices, chat with models and search our docs.

#Pronunciation dictionaries

Text to speech

Teach text to speech how to say brand names, place names and surnames. Save dictionaries in the Portal under Pronunciations, and set a default for your whole workspace.

#Speaker diarization

Speech to textExperimental

Transcripts now label who is speaking, using a new, more accurate model. It works on live audio and on recordings sent through async transcription, as an add-on at $0.02 an hour.

#Async transcription

Speech to text

Submit a long recording by upload or URL, and collect the transcript when it is ready.

September 2026

#Multilingual professional voice cloning

Voice cloningBeta

Create professional-quality custom voices in languages beyond English, including German, Russian and Hindi.

#More accurate word timestamps

Speech to textFix

Word timestamps now account for silence, so they line up precisely with the audio.

#Consistent delivery across pauses

Text to speechFix

Speech now keeps its tone and pacing after an SSML pause instead of starting over.

#Rate limit errors tell you when to retry

APIs

Rate limit errors now say exactly when you can try again, for example “in 5 hours 12 minutes”. Upgrading your plan raises your hourly and daily limits right away.

#Plan upgrades apply to voice cloning right away

Voice cloningFix

After you upgrade, your new professional voice cloning limits apply immediately, and a failed request explains what to do next.

#More reliable speech to speech at high volume

Speech to speechFix

Speech to speech sessions now connect reliably, even during heavy traffic.

#WAV download on every plan

Billing

WAV download is now included on every plan, not just Creator and above.

#Self-serve zero data retention

Privacy

On Enterprise and Enterprise Trial plans you can now turn on zero data retention in the Portal, so we keep none of your request or response content. On another plan? Talk to us, and we can turn it on for you once your account meets the conditions.

Coming soon

Plans and timing can change.

#A new speech to text model

Speech to text

The next version of Realtime STT-1 is in final testing with early customers.

#Auto-steer

Text to speech

Have text to speech write a delivery instruction for each request automatically, from a toggle in the playground or a setting in the API.

#An update to Realtime TTS-2

Text to speech

A new version of Realtime TTS-2 with better voice quality and bug fixes.

#Video transcription

Speech to text

Send a video file (MP4, WEBM or MXF) and get its audio transcribed. We discard the video and bill only for the audio's duration. Send files up to 512 MB, or a cloud storage URL, through async transcription.

#Usage by API key and by voice

Console

See your usage by API key and by voice on the Usage page, with the estimated cost of text to speech and LLM requests.
