- Turbo. It is built for low-latency output in real-time agents and IVR, where a delay is more damaging than a small quality difference.
- Does HD offer more than one voice?
- Yes, multiple voice options are available, which matters when narration and podcast content needs a consistent but distinct speaker.
- Is Turbo good enough for narration?
- For high-volume narration where cost and speed dominate, yes. For a flagship voiceover, HD is the tier that will hold up.
