No consent or speaker verification in the clone API.\n\n**PlayHT Voice Cloning API.** The API reference is still readable at docs.play.ht, useful for mapping old integrations. Shut down, api.play.ht doesn't resolve.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Cartesia Voice Cloning API + MCP\n\n1. Send `Cartesia-Version` on every call. The clone endpoint lists it as a required header\n2. Pass the speaker's recorded `language`. A clone is built from one language, add others with the accents API\n3. Keep IVC uploads under 16 MB\n4. Don't blind-retry `POST /voices/clone`. The SDK retries 429 and 5xx twice and there's no idempotency key, so check the voice list first\n5. Poll a Pro clone fine-tune until it finishes before using the voice ID\n\n### PlayHT Voice Cloning API\n\n1. Don't call `api.play.ht`. The host doesn't resolve\n2. Ignore docs.play.ht for new work. It documents an API that no longer exists\n3. Re-create voices with another vendor from the original recordings, the clones can't be recovered\n\n## Other comparisons with Cartesia Voice Cloning API + MCP or PlayHT Voice Cloning API\n\n- [Cartesia Voice Cloning API + MCP vs ElevenLabs Voice Cloning and Voice Design API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/cartesia-voice-cloning-vs-elevenlabs-voice-cloning.md)\n- [Cartesia Voice Cloning API + MCP vs Fish Audio Voice Cloning API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/cartesia-voice-cloning-vs-fish-audio-voice-cloning.md)\n- [Cartesia Voice Cloning API + MCP vs Hume Octave Voice Design and Cloning + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/cartesia-voice-cloning-vs-hume-voice-cloning.md)\n- [Cartesia Voice Cloning API + MCP vs Murf Voice Cloning API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/cartesia-voice-cloning-vs-murf-voice-cloning.md)\n- [Cartesia Voice Cloning API + MCP vs Resemble AI Voice Cloning API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/cartesia-voice-cloning-vs-resemble-ai-voice-cloning.md)\n- [Cartesia Voice Cloning API + MCP vs Soniox Voice Cloning](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/cartesia-voice-cloning-vs-soniox-voice-cloning.md)\n- [Cartesia Voice Cloning API + MCP vs Speechify API Voice Cloning](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/cartesia-voice-cloning-vs-speechify-voice-cloning.md)\n- [Cartesia Voice Cloning API + MCP vs Ultravox Voice Cloning](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/cartesia-voice-cloning-vs-ultravox-voice-cloning.md)\n- [ElevenLabs Voice Cloning and Voice Design API vs PlayHT Voice Cloning API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/elevenlabs-voice-cloning-vs-playht-voice-cloning.md)\n- [Fish Audio Voice Cloning API vs PlayHT Voice Cloning API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/fish-audio-voice-cloning-vs-playht-voice-cloning.md)\n- [Hume Octave Voice Design and Cloning + MCP vs PlayHT Voice Cloning API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/hume-voice-cloning-vs-playht-voice-cloning.md)\n- [Murf Voice Cloning API vs PlayHT Voice Cloning API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/murf-voice-cloning-vs-playht-voice-cloning.md)\n- [PlayHT Voice Cloning API vs Resemble AI Voice Cloning API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/playht-voice-cloning-vs-resemble-ai-voice-cloning.md)\n- [PlayHT Voice Cloning API vs Soniox Voice Cloning](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/playht-voice-cloning-vs-soniox-voice-cloning.md)\n- [PlayHT Voice Cloning API vs Speechify API Voice Cloning](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/playht-voice-cloning-vs-speechify-voice-cloning.md)\n- [PlayHT Voice Cloning API vs Ultravox Voice Cloning](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/playht-voice-cloning-vs-ultravox-voice-cloning.md)\n",
