Code Sample
Comparison with Other Models
vs Google Cloud TTS: Both models provide high-quality voices, but MiniMax Speech 2.6 Turbo tends to generate more human-like emotional nuances and better prosody, while Google Cloud TTS focuses more on clarity and neutrality.
vs Amazon Polly: Amazon Polly requires more computational power for high-quality output, while MiniMax Speech 2.6 Turbo is optimized for lower-resource environments, such as mobile and edge devices.
vs Microsoft Azure TTS: MiniMax Speech 2.6 Turbo offers superior voice naturalness, especially for emotional tones, compared to Microsoft Azure TTS, which sometimes sounds more robotic or monotone.
