Fish Audio models now available on Vercel AI Gateway for free
Fish Audio 's audio models are now available on AI Gateway. To celebrate the launch, every Fish Audio model is free on AI Gateway for the next 30 days, through September 18. Capability Regular Through September 18 Text-to-speech $15.00 per million characters Free Speech-to-text $0.36 per hour of audio Free Four models from Fish Audio are available, including their latest text-to-speech model: fish-audio/s2.1-pro (text-to-speech): Built for low-latency streaming; clones a voice from a reference recording. fish-audio/transcribe-1 (transcription): Returns the text along with the duration of the audio and timestamped segments, down to individual words. fish-audio/s2-pro (text-to-speech): Covers around eighty languages and takes inline tags, plain-language directions written into the text itself, so you can change how a single word or phrase is delivered instead of setting one style for the whole request. fish-audio/s1 (text-to-speech): Reads text that can carry markers for emotion, tone, and sound effects. How to use models during the offer period Using the standard model name (i.e., fish-audio/s2.1-pro ) is free, but will automatically begin billing when the offer period ends. To ensure you aren't billed after the free period, add the -free suffix to the standard name, and the model will stop serving when the offer ends (i.e., fish-audio/s2.1-pro-free ). Speech and transcription ship in the current AI SDK 7 release. Text-to-speech Generate spoken audio from text with generateSpeech and write the result: Speech-to-text Transcribe recordings into text with transcribe . The audio can be a buffer, a base64 string, or a URL: Each segment carries the text and its start and end time in seconds, down to individual words. Playground You can also try the Fish Audio models without writing any code. Open the models list , click into a model, and send text or audio to hear or read the result in your browser.
