Verdicts

Murf Voice Cloning API

One sample of up to 30 seconds, ready in a few minutes. Enterprise only, with no self-serve or trial access.

Speechify API Voice Cloning

Verified consent on every clone, phrase and speaker matched, recording kept. No cloning on the Free plan.

Before you call either

Murf Voice Cloning API

  1. Expect 403 until Murf enables cloning for the workspace
  2. Send a WAV, MP3 or FLAC at 24 kHz or above. A low sample rate is accepted and fails later
  3. Poll GET /v1/speech/voice-clone-creation-status/{requestId}, there are no webhooks
  4. Use clones only with Falcon 2 streaming. Gen2 or the non-streaming endpoint returns 400

Speechify API Voice Cloning

  1. Create the consent challenge only when the speaker is ready. It's single use and short-lived
  2. Show the phrase as returned. Rewording it fails the match
  3. Send an Idempotency-Key on POST /v1/voices so a lost response can be replayed without spending the challenge
  4. Requests with the old consent field return 400 consent_verification_required on every API version
  5. On 429 wait for Retry-After, then check error.code to tell a rate limit from a concurrency cap
