What is Grok Voice TTS 1.0?

What Grok Voice TTS 1.0 is for

Convert text into spoken audio with a single API call. The API supports a rich set of expressive voices, inline speech tags for fine-grained delivery control, and output formats from high-fidelity MP3 to telephony-optimized μ-law. The registry places it in the xAI catalog with a release date of 2026-07-31. This profile describes its documented interface and how to evaluate it for the intended task.

Inputs and request limits

The recorded inputs are text, with audio output. The registry lists a 15,000-token context window and up to 15,000 output tokens. Additional capability flags are not established by this record. These are specifications, not a measured quality or speed ranking. A host can impose its own request limits and support a different subset of features.

Deployment and cost

Grok Voice TTS 1.0 is recorded as a hosted model without downloadable weights. Confirm the current model ID and access conditions on the chosen API. A registry listing alone does not establish that an account or region has access.

No independently checked token rate is added from a hosting alias. Use the route’s current price and billing unit when comparing cost, including output, reasoning, cache behavior and retries where applicable.

What to test

Listen to examples in the target languages and with difficult names or numbers. Check pronunciation, voice consistency and the playback format. For streaming, measure the time to first playable audio. Verify whether the provider bills by characters, duration or another audio unit.

Evidence and related models

This is a registry-sourced profile. A model-specific publisher document has not yet been confirmed; access and specifications should be checked before an integration decision. SyncDev has not independently benchmarked Grok Voice TTS 1.0.
