Overview

Minimax Speech v2.8 turns text into natural-sounding speech audio with selectable voices, emotion control, language optimization, pronunciation guidance, and audio-format settings. Use it for voiceover drafts, narration, ad scripts, podcast segments, and product demos up to 10,000 characters.

Use cases

  • Generate a voiceover draft for a short product demo or campaign video.
  • Create narration audio for a podcast segment, explainer, or landing-page walkthrough.
  • Test emotion, speed, pitch, language boost, and pronunciation overrides before recording talent.

Input tips

  • Keep text under 10,000 characters and review it for pronunciation before generating audio.
  • Use a built-in MiniMax voice ID or an approved custom cloned voice ID.
  • Choose speech-2.8-hd for the default quality path or speech-2.8-turbo when speed matters.
  • Use emotion, speed, volume, and pitch controls to shape delivery.
  • Set language_boost to a target language or auto for automatic detection.
  • Choose mp3 for most previews; wav, pcm, and flac are available for specific handoffs.

Expected output

The AI Tool returns one generated speech audio file with a downloadable URL, content type, file name, file size, duration, sample rate, bitrate, audio format, channel count, word count, billed-character count, status metadata, and cost metadata. The speech template renders an audio player and key technical details.

Caveats

  • Generated speech should be reviewed for pronunciation, tone, pacing, and brand fit.
  • Invalid or unavailable voice IDs will fail validation.
  • Emotion and sound-effect controls influence delivery but may not match a direction exactly.
  • Pronunciation overrides help with custom terms but still need listening review.
  • Longer text and richer settings can increase generation time and cost.
