I need a model that can support about 100 concurrent users and doesn’t break the bank.
I am currently using Openai gpt-4o-mini-tts.

08/13/2025, 11:19 PMHey there! Could you share a bit more about what you’re looking for? For example:
• Which languages or accents would you like the TTS model to support?
• Do you have a budget range in mind for this?
• Are there any special features or integrations you’re hoping to include?

Budget would be anything less than $10/1M token or anything less than $0.015 per minute
I am building an ai agent to read and explain documents to its specific users

08/13/2025, 11:24 PMHere are some TTS options that support English and might be just what you're looking for:
• Groq: Has English TTS with a variety of voices like "Arista-PlayAI" and "Atlas-PlayAI."
• Speechify: Offers super fast and affordable text-to-speech using models like "simba-english."
• Deepgram: Delivers responsive, natural-sounding TTS with the "aura-asteria-en" model.
I wasn’t able to confirm if these fit within your budget of less than $10/1M tokens or $0.015 per minute, so I’d recommend checking their pricing details to make sure they work for you.
