Audio

Aura-2 is a multilingual text-to-speech model from Deepgram, using Deepgram's Aura-2 voice catalogue.

Its 90 voices cover English, Spanish, French, Japanese and more; each voice id ends with its language code, such as aura-2-thalia-en. Hormouz serves Aura-2 on two endpoints: the OpenAI-compatible /v1/audio/speech, which returns the audio in the same response, and /v1/predictions for background jobs. Set voice to one of the model's own voices, for example "aura-2-thalia-en", and response_format to mp3 or pcm.
