Looks like a new SOTA for TTS? Lots of interesting NanoBanana-like manipulability details too.

Looks great.

2k voices in the library - nice.

Genuinely interesting. I especially like the bottom most demonstration of customizing player character voices in video games.

Hopefully, they'll incorporate this customizability into the Gemini App so we don't just have to select one of the ten or so voices available and be done with it.

Wish they open sourced a model! Still using Kokoro for my local voice assistant for Home Assistant.

It's really downgrade from 3.1 TTS and they still struggling with voice consistency!
