What is Minimax Speech 2.8?

Minimax Speech 2.8 is MiniMax AI's latest text-to-speech system offering two modes: HD for studio-quality output with maximum naturalness, and Turbo for ultra-fast generation. It also includes Voice Clone for replicating voices and Voice Design for creating custom voices.

What is the difference between HD and Turbo mode?

HD mode prioritizes audio quality and naturalness, delivering studio-grade speech output ideal for final production. Turbo mode is optimized for speed, generating speech near-instantly while maintaining good quality — perfect for real-time applications and rapid prototyping.

How does Voice Clone work?

Voice Clone takes a short audio sample of any voice and learns its unique characteristics including tone, pitch, accent, and speaking style. It can then generate new speech in that voice from any text input, producing output that closely matches the original speaker.

What languages does Minimax Speech support?

Minimax Speech supports multiple languages including English, Chinese (Mandarin), Japanese, Korean, and more. Each language features native-level pronunciation with natural intonation and prosody patterns.

Is Minimax Speech free to use?

You can try Minimax Speech with free trial credits on our platform. After that, flexible pay-as-you-go pricing is available with no subscription required. HD mode costs 15 credits and Turbo mode costs 8 credits per generation.
