Octave TTS FAQs

Find answers to common questions about Octave TTS.

What is Octave TTS and how does it differ from other TTS tools?

Octave TTS is a tool powered by Hume's Octave API, which is the first text-to-speech system that understands what it's saying. Unlike conventional TTS that merely "reads" words, Octave interprets context, meaning, and the intricate relationships between voice, performance, and content to create more natural and expressive speech.

Is Octave TTS affiliated with Hume AI?

No, OctaveTTS.com is not affiliated with Hume AI. We are a third-party service that utilizes Hume's Octave API to provide an accessible interface for users to experience this advanced TTS technology.

What languages does Octave TTS support?

Currently, Octave supports English and Spanish, with more languages planned for future releases. English has the most comprehensive support with the fullest range of voice capabilities.

How do I create the best voice descriptions?

Effective voice descriptions include details about demographics (age, gender, background), speaking style (pace, energy, formality), personality traits, professional roles, or emotional states. For example: "A middle-aged university professor with a gentle but authoritative voice, speaking deliberately with occasional moments of dry humor."

Can I save and reuse voices I create?

Yes! When you generate a voice you want to use again, you can save it to your personal voice library. The number of voices you can save depends on your subscription plan, with higher tiers allowing for more saved voices.

What is the difference between Voice Description and Acting Instructions?

Voice Description defines the base characteristics of the voice (who is speaking), while Acting Instructions guide how that voice performs a specific piece of text (how they are speaking). For example, you might have a "professional male news anchor" voice (description) that you want to speak "excitedly" for one segment and "solemnly" for another (acting instructions).
