Gemini 3.8 Flash TTS and Gemini 3.8 Flash-Lite TTS are our most expressive audio generation models yet. Generate custom character voices and direct scene dialogue across Google AI Studio, Gemini API, Gemini Enterprise, Gemini Notebook, and Google Vids.

Google just launched new AI tools that let you create and customize realistic voices from scratch. You can direct these voices to sound exactly how you want, from their accent to their emotional tone. It’s perfect for making audiobooks, games, or podcasts that sound like real people talking. Plus, they added safety features to make sure these voices are used responsibly.

These models enable creators, developers, and enterprises to create richer, more expressive audio experiences, while enabling improved user experiences in products like Gemini Notebook and Google Vids .
