Inworld TTS-2 — Emotion Steering

Inworld TTS-2 supports natural-language steering with [brackets] — control emotion, volume, speed, and non-verbals inline with text:

belt app run inworld/text-to-speech-2 --input '{

  "text": "I have some [exciting] news to share with you! [pause] We just hit one million users. [laugh]",

  "voice_id": "Sarah",

  "delivery_mode": "CREATIVE"

}'

Delivery modes: STABLE (consistent), BALANCED (natural, default), CREATIVE (expressive).

Built-in voices (271+ across 15 languages): Sarah, Alex, Ashley, Dennis, Hana, Blake, Luna, Clive, and many more. Browse all voices in the Inworld TTS Playground or list programmatically via GET https://api.inworld.ai/voices/v1/voices.

Inworld TTS 1.5 — Low Latency

For real-time applications where speed matters:

# Max quality at low latency (<200ms)

belt app run inworld/text-to-speech-1-5-max --input '{

  "text": "Welcome back! How can I help you today?",

  "voice_id": "Ashley"

}'

# Ultra-low latency (~120ms) for conversational AI

belt app run inworld/text-to-speech-1-5-mini --input '{

  "text": "Sure, let me look that up for you.",

  "voice_id": "Dennis"

}'

Conversational TTS with DIA

belt app sample infsh/dia-tts --save input.json

# Edit input.json:

# {

#   "text": "Hey! How are you doing today? I'm really excited to share this with you.",

#   "voice": "conversational"

# }

belt app run infsh/dia-tts --input input.json

Long-form Audio (Podcasts)

belt app sample infsh/vibevoice --save input.json

# Edit input.json with your podcast script

belt app run infsh/vibevoice --input input.json

Expressive Speech with Higgs

belt app sample infsh/higgs-audio --save input.json

# {

#   "text": "This is absolutely incredible!",

#   "emotion": "excited"

# }

belt app run infsh/higgs-audio --input input.json

Use Cases

• Voiceovers: Product demos, explainer videos

• Audiobooks: Convert text to spoken word

• Podcasts: Generate podcast episodes

• Accessibility: Make content accessible

• IVR: Phone system voice prompts

• Video Narration: Add narration to videos

• Gaming / NPCs: Character voices with emotion steering (Inworld TTS-2)

• Conversational AI: Ultra-low latency responses (Inworld TTS 1.5 Mini)

• Avatar / UGC Videos: Generate speech for talking head avatars

Combine with Video

The easiest way to create a talking head video is P-Video-Avatar with built-in TTS — no separate audio step:

belt app run pruna/p-video-avatar --input '{

  "image": "https://portrait.jpg",

  "voice_script": "Your script here",

  "voice": "Zephyr (Female)"

}'

For models without built-in TTS (OmniHuman, PixVerse), generate speech first:

# 1. Generate speech with Inworld TTS-2 (emotion steering)

belt app run inworld/text-to-speech-2 --input '{

  "text": "[friendly] Your script here. [excited] This is the best part!",

  "voice_id": "Sarah",

  "delivery_mode": "CREATIVE"

}' > speech.json

# 2. Use the audio URL with OmniHuman for avatar video

belt app run bytedance/omnihuman-1-5 --input '{

  "image_url": "https://portrait.jpg",

  "audio_url": "<audio-url-from-step-1>"

}'
