What are Legacy voices?

  • Updated

We have recently made improvements to our Default (previously Premade) voices by giving them new fine-tunings on our Turbo v2.5, Multilingual v2 and Turbo v2 models, based on extended recordings with the voice actors.  These changes enhance stability and accuracy in replicating the original voices.

This was not possible for some of our previous Premade voices, so to ensure continuity for users, we have made these voices available as Legacy voices.  These are indicated by (Legacy) after the voice's name.

Legacy voices will not appear in voice selection menus by default, but you can find them by using 'Search for a voice', and they will appear in the 'Recently Used' if you have used them previously.  You can also find them in My Voices, either by searching in the search bar, or selecting 'Default' in My Voices and scrolling down.  Once you've found the voice, click it in the list to open the detailed view, then select 'Use voice'.

To get the voice_id for Legacy voices when sending GET requests to /v1/voices, you need to use the show_legacy flag.  Please see the API Reference for full details.
