* ABOUT KLING 1

Working with Kling 1

Kling v1 is the first Kling generation and the only one that bundles speech: seven variants covering Pro and Standard AI Avatar, Standard and Pro text-to-video, image-to-video, and a text-to-speech model with a range of voices.

When to choose Kling 1

Use Kling v1 when you want the original avatar endpoints or Kling TTS specifically. For current video quality, motion control and 4K, the later Kling families are the better choice.

Choosing between the variants

The AI Avatar variants generate character video in Pro or Standard quality. Text to Video and Image to Video are the general generation routes, and Text to Speech is the audio model — it produces voice, not video.

About Kling 1

Yes. Kling TTS sits in this family and turns text into natural speech with a choice of voices — it is the only Kling generation that carries it.
What does Kling v1 AI Avatar cover?
Avatar videos of people, animals, cartoons and creative characters, in a Standard tier and a higher-quality Pro tier.
Is Kling v1 still worth using?
For its avatar and speech endpoints, yes. For general video quality, later Kling families produce noticeably better motion.
