Working with Grok TTS.
Grok TTS turns text into natural speech with five named voices — eve, ara, rex, sal and leo — and detects the language automatically across more than twenty. Inline speech tags control pauses, laughter and whispering, so delivery is directed inside the script.
When to choose Grok TTS
Choose Grok TTS when the read needs personality and you want to mark laughter or a whisper directly in the text. Google's TTS is the alternative with pacing and emphasis tags; MiniMax Speech splits on latency.
