What is Fish Audio?
Fish Audio is an AI voice generation platform for text-to-speech, voice cloning and speech-to-text. It hosts more than 2,000,000 user-uploaded voices, supports 30+ languages, runs its own S2.1 Pro model, and can clone a voice from about a 15-second clip, with emotion tags and developer APIs.
Creators often need a specific voice, accent or emotion that standard TTS catalogs do not have. Fish Audio solves this with a huge community library plus fast cloning: upload a short sample and reuse that voice across projects. Emotion tags such as whispering, excitement, sadness and laughter give you control over delivery without re-recording. The same models are available through Text-to-Speech, Speech-to-Text and Voice Agent APIs for building products.
