Verdicts

Deepgram Text-to-Speech (Aura-2, Flux TTS)

OpenAPI 3.1 and AsyncAPI files, llms.txt and Markdown pages. Requests can be kept for training unless each one sets mip_opt_out=true.

Resemble AI Text-to-Speech API

OpenAPI file in JSON and YAML, llms.txt and Markdown pages. Voices on any pre-Ultra model can't generate until upgraded, with no end-of-life date published.

Before you call either

Deepgram Text-to-Speech (Aura-2, Flux TTS)

  1. Set mip_opt_out=true on every request if the text mustn't be kept for training.
  2. Split Aura-2 REST text under 2,000 characters or expect a 413.
  3. Pass model on /v2/speak, where it's required.
  4. Strip SSML before sending, since it's removed with an INPUT_MARKUP_STRIPPED warning.
  5. Back off exponentially on 429 and keep traffic in one project.

Resemble AI Text-to-Speech API

  1. Check the voice's model before synthesis, since voices on pre-Ultra models fail until upgraded.
  2. Keep each synchronous request under 2,000 characters.
  3. Decode audio_content from base64 on /synthesize, or call /stream for raw WAV chunks.
  4. Send Authorization: Bearer, since some doc examples leave out the prefix.
  5. Log the request ID with every failure, since the error body has no code.
