Inworld Instant Voice Cloning

by Inworld AI Model API in Voice cloning & custom voices

Hosted Local

Theai, Inc. dba Inworld AI · inworld.ai · status page · who's behind it

Inworld's Instant Voice Cloning API makes a reusable text-to-speech voice from 3 to 30 seconds of audio in one synchronous call, for Inworld's TTS-2 models. The same operation is in the Inworld CLI and its bundled MCP server.

Best for Teams already using Inworld TTS-2 that want clones from a short clip through one call, the CLI or MCP.

Assessment. One JSON call returns a usable voice ID from 3 to 30 seconds of audio, with no charge per clone and 100 custom voices on the free plan, behind keys that are read-only until write access is switched on. The API has no consent field, and Zero Data Retention excludes cloning samples.

From our research 15 facts checked against the vendor's pages
Surface listed
Inworld's Voice API cloning endpoints at https://api.inworld.ai, read from docs.inworld.ai, the pricing and terms pages on inworld.ai, the status page's GitHub issues and the published @inworld/cli 1.5.0 package on 6 November 2026. No account was created and no API call was made
Sample length
3 seconds minimum, 30 seconds used. The reference recommends 10 to 30 seconds. WAV or MP3 through the API, also webm in the Portal, 12 MB maximum
Instant or professional
Instant is synchronous and generally available. Professional Voice Cloning is Beta, needs 10 minutes of audio and trains asynchronously
Voice design
Yes, POST /voices/v1/voices:design from a text description, then :publish. Same rate limits as cloning
Consent and verification
The Portal asks the user to confirm rights to clone the voice. The API request has no consent or verification field. No watermarking found in the docs
Voice ownership
The docs say the creator stays owner of a voice shared to the Voice Library and grants Inworld a licence to host and distribute it. The Terms of Service (11 June 2025) have no clause specific to cloned voices or consent
Endpoints
POST /voices/v1/voices:clone, GET /voices/v1/voices, GET, PATCH and DELETE /voices/v1/voices/{voiceId}, GET /voices/v1/voices:customVoiceCapacity, and copy tokens to move a voice between workspaces, on https://api.inworld.ai
Models
Clones work on inworld-tts-2 and inworld-tts-2-flash
Rate limits
Voice cloning API requests a minute. On-Demand 2, Creator 3, Builder 5, Developer 10, Growth 20, Enterprise custom, per account across all keys
Credentials
Workspace API key sent as HTTP Basic. Voice write access is an opt-in toggle per key. Deleting a key revokes it and every token minted from it
Free tier
On-Demand plan is free with up to 70 minutes of TTS and 100 custom voices, and the docs say instant cloning is open to all users. Professional voice clones need a payment method on file
Data retention
Cloning samples are kept to build and support the voice. Zero Data Retention does not cover them. No retention period published in the docs
Regions
US by default. Isolated EU and India deployments for Enterprise, with voices and keys separate per region
SDKs and tools
@inworld/tts 1.1.1 (npm, MIT, 6 May 2026), inworld-tts (PyPI), @inworld/cli 1.5.0 with the inworld-mcp server (npm, MIT, Node.js 20 or later)
Custom voices
Cloned and designed voices share one limit per account. On-Demand 100, Creator 500, Builder 3,000, Developer 10,000, Growth 30,000, Enterprise custom, per the pricing page

Facts verified 6 November 2026 from vendor docs, repositories and package registries. JSON · Markdown

Strengths

  • Synchronous clone from 3 to 30 seconds of WAV or MP3 audio, with language auto-detection and optional background-noise removal
  • No charge per clone. The free On-Demand plan includes instant cloning and 100 custom voices, and speech is $25 per million characters on TTS-2
  • API keys are read-only by default. Cloning, updating and deleting voices need a write toggle that can be changed on an existing key
  • GET /voices/v1/voices filters by source = "IVC" with paging, and voices:customVoiceCapacity reports how many custom voices remain
  • llms.txt, llms-full.txt and a Markdown twin of every docs page, plus clone_voice in the MCP server in @inworld/cli 1.5.0 (29 October 2026)

Weaknesses

  • No consent, verification or watermark field in the clone API. Only the Portal flow asks the user to confirm rights to the voice
  • Zero Data Retention does not cover cloning audio samples, and no retention period for them was found
  • No idempotency key on POST /voices/v1/voices:clone, and no error list for the Voice API
  • No OpenAPI file is linked from the docs, and the repositories named in the npm metadata of the CLI and Node SDK are not public
  • The MCP clone_voice description says about 5 seconds and 4 MB a sample, while the docs say 3 seconds and 12 MB

Before you call it notes for agents

  1. Create the key with write access (inworld workspace add-key --write). A default key gets code 7, insufficient access level, on voices:clone
  2. Send the complete Base64 credential as Authorization: Basic $INWORLD_API_KEY. Don't encode it again
  3. Send one 10 to 30 second WAV or MP3 clip as base64 in voiceSamples[].audioData. Audio past 30 seconds is cut
  4. Don't blind-retry a clone. There's no idempotency key, so list voices with filter=source="IVC" first, and back off with jitter on 429
  5. Set gender, ageGroup and categories with UpdateVoice afterwards. The clone call ignores them without an error
  6. The response echoes up to 15 seconds of processed audio as base64 in audioSamplesValidated. Drop it before passing the result to a model

A reading by a fixed set of rules, each answered with the vendor's own sentence. It isn't legal advice, a rule can miss a clause or misread one, and the document itself is what binds. How it's read and scored.

The Terms of Service (effective 11 June 2025, re-read 6 November 2026) are an agreement with Theai, Inc. dba Inworld AI under California law. They carry no clause on robots or automated access, and none specific to voice cloning.

inworld.ai's robots.txt carries Content-Signal: ai-train=no, search=yes, ai-input=no, recorded as a fact about the site. Since 30 October 2026 this is not a reason to hold, so this listing, held on 9 October for it, is graded.

status.inworld.ai draws incidents from GitHub issues in inworld-ai/inworld-issue-status, read through the GitHub API on 6 November.

inworld.ai/.well-known/security.txt returned 404 on 30 October per the inworld-tts check. The security page links a vulnerability report form.

Researched 6 November 2026 from public pages. Copied from the inworld-tts humans file (checked 30 October 2026), the same company, on 6 November 2026 without new research. Inworld's Realtime TTS-2 page, read 30 October 2026, quotes Kylan Gibbs as CEO of Inworld AI. Inworld's Series A release of 23 August 2022, as published by Intel Capital, names Ilya Gelfenbeyn, Michael Ermolenko and Kylan Gibbs as founders and Ilya Gelfenbeyn as CEO at the time. No about or team page was found in the inworld.ai sitemap, so the present roles of the other two founders aren't established and the roster may be incomplete. No personal accounts are linked from Inworld's pages, so none are listed. The 28 October 2026 Reasoning post is signed by the Inworld TTS team. The ultravox listing's humans file records Inworld's announcement of 30 September 2026 that it acquired Ultravox. Investors come from the Series A release as published by Intel Capital and from The SaaS News report of the August 2023 round led by Lightspeed. Business Wire and GlobeNewswire, which carry Inworld's own releases, answered robots.txt with 403 and weren't read, so the pre-seed and seed rounds aren't itemised, and Meta is listed without a round. TechCrunch's report of 2 August 2023, read 6 November 2026, says Lightspeed invested more than $50 million in the latest tranche, "bringing Inworld’s total raised to more than $100 million at a $500 million post-money valuation", and mentions investments from Disney as part of the 2022 Disney Accelerator; that gives the valuation, the total raised and Disney below. The same report's grant from Epic isn't equity and isn't listed. No later round was found. On 6 November 2026 the ownership and investors were aligned with inworld-realtime, sourced to GamesBeat, since techcrunch.com's robots.txt disallows ClaudeBot. Shown for information, not part of the grade yet. People's accounts link to their own profiles; check them before you rely on one.

Notable

  • Inworld's pricing page lists instant voice cloning and voice design on every plan, including the free On-Demand plan with 100 custom voices, and no charge per clone source
  • The 30-second prompt limit applies to voices cloned on or after 15 August 2026. Older clones keep a 15-second prompt until re-cloned source
  • Zero Data Retention lists Voice Cloning audio samples as not eligible, and is an Enterprise add-on source
  • The MCP server in @inworld/cli 1.5.0 (29 October 2026) registers 40 tools, clone_voice, design_voice and publish_voice among them, and sets no readOnlyHint or destructiveHint on any source
  • The MCP clone_voice description still says about 5 seconds and 4 MB a sample, while the docs say 3 seconds and 12 MB source
  • status.inworld.ai is drawn from GitHub issues in inworld-ai/inworld-issue-status, with five components and none for cloning source
  • Professional Voice Cloning (10 minutes of audio or more, asynchronous training) is marked Beta and is not graded here source

Graded on the REST API, the surface an agent would call. Status page at status.inworld.ai, drawn from GitHub issues, with five components and none for cloning (20). Read through the GitHub API on 6 November, the 90 days from 8 August hold two incidents, 29 minutes of elevated TTS latency on 25 August and 26 minutes of elevated TTS 2.1 errors from a network fault at one GPU site on 28 October, both minor (20). Cloning limits are published per plan, 2 to 20 requests a minute (15). A 429 is documented with exponential backoff and jitter code, and since the 9 October check the rate-limits page says limits over a minute can carry Retry-After. No idempotency key or safe-retry guidance for clone creation (10 of 15, was 9). The pricing page, now read, names an SLA on Enterprise only with no terms or figure, as on inworld-tts (0). Instant cloning carries no Preview or Beta mark (10). 20+20+15+10+0+10 = 75.

Schema & documentationchecked 6 November 2026 13%16.2 10.4
No OpenAPI file is linked from the docs or llms.txt, re-read on 6 November. The MCP server has typed inputs on all 40 tools, which earns part of the line (10 of 25). llms.txt, llms-full.txt and Markdown twins (10). The guides say when to use instant cloning, Professional Voice Cloning or Voice Design, and the reference warns which fields are ignored (15 of 20). Required fields and base64 audio are typed, and a new languageCode string is validated against the catalogue with INVALID_ARGUMENT, while size and length limits sit in prose and the MCP tool still states different ones (10 of 15). Examples in curl, Python, JavaScript and the CLI, with one error response shown and no error list for the Voice API (9 of 15). A /v1/ path and dated TTS release notes, newest 11 September, with no changelog for the Voice API itself (10 of 15). 10+10+15+10+9+10 = 64.
Agent ergonomicschecked 6 November 2026 13%16.2 10.4
The clone response echoes up to 15 seconds of processed audio as base64 with no way to leave it out. The MCP tool returns a compact result, but the server loads 40 tools with no toolsets, registering only those the credentials can call (13 of 25). Voice lists take an AIP-160 filter, pageSize, pageToken and orderBy, including source = "IVC", and a capacity endpoint reports used and maximum custom voices (20). Errors are a numeric code, a message and details, and the one example reads clearly, but no list is documented for the Voice API (12 of 20). No idempotency key, no MCP annotations in the 1.5.0 package, and the SDKs retry 5xx and network errors twice by default (4 of 20). Two required fields, language auto-detection, and official Python and Node.js SDKs (15). 13+20+12+4+15 = 64.
Security & authchecked 6 November 2026 14%17.5 9.6
Graded for voice cloning as the other listings in this category were, with consent and misuse controls in place of the read-only line and training and retention of voice data in place of the prompt-injection line. Revocable workspace keys that are read-only for the Voice API until a write toggle is set, Realtime-only keys and single-use tokens, sent in a header (25 of 30). The API has no consent or verification field and no watermark was found. Only the Portal asks the user to confirm rights, and the Terms (11 June 2025), now read, have no clause on cloned voices. The write toggle keeps a default key from cloning (6 of 20). The Terms say Inworld won't train generally available models on non-public Materials except feedback and trust and safety content, while the Privacy Notice lists training among its uses. Zero Data Retention excludes cloning samples and no retention period for them is published (7 of 15, was 4). Usage is attributed per key in the dashboard and an experimental usage records endpoint exists from the Builder plan. No audit log found (7 of 15). GDPR and SOC 2 Type II are stated on every plan on the pricing page, and the security page links a vulnerability report form. No security.txt (404 per the 30 October inworld-tts check) and no bug bounty found (10 of 20, was 8). 25+6+7+7+10 = 55.

The pricing page, unread on 9 October and read on 6 November, publishes per-character rates for speech from a clone, $25 per million characters on TTS-2 and $15 on TTS-2 Flash on the free plan, and no charge for creating a clone (20, was 10). The On-Demand plan is free with 100 custom voices and instant cloning, and no card is asked for (20). inworld login opens a browser and signup is a human flow. The CLI mints keys only after that (0). 0+20+20+0 = 40.

Dated TTS release notes on 9 August and 11 September 2026, and none for the 28 October model update or for the Voice API (10). inworld-tts-1 was discontinued on 15 June 2026 with requests routed to newer models, and clones made before 15 August keep a 15-second prompt, with no notice period stated (5 of 10).

  1. Graded 61.9 C methodology v0.7

Fix list 18 items, the biggest gain first

Everything this grade says the listing lacks, from the reasons above, the checklist, the provenance checks, the deductions, what we couldn't check and what the review panel asked for, with the steps, ready to paste into a coding agent working on Inworld Instant Voice Cloning. A fix counts at the next check, once it's public.

What we couldn't check

  • Changed since the 9 October draft (held then only for Content-Signal ai-input=no). The pricing page and terms were read, no charge per clone and 100 free custom voices were confirmed, the 429 guidance now mentions Retry-After, @inworld/cli moved from 1.3.1 to 1.5.0 with the same 40 tools, one more minor incident (28 October), and the slug is inworld-voice-cloning in place of inworld-instant-voice-cloning, matching cartesia-voice-cloning and the other listings in the category.
  • unchecked: whether cloning samples are used to train models. The Terms rule out training on non-public Materials with two exceptions, and the docs don't say how that applies to samples
  • unchecked: the trust centre for the SOC 2 report and any sub-processor list
  • The repositories named in npm metadata (inworld-ai/inworld-cli, inworld-ai/inworld-tts-node) are not public, so the MCP tool definitions were read from the published 1.5.0 package and not run
  • Whether the API size limit for a sample is 12 MB as the Portal guide says or 4 MB as the MCP tool says
  • inworld.ai/terms is the version effective 11 June 2025, while ultravox.ai carries Inworld AI Terms effective 1 October 2026 after Inworld took over Ultravox (per the inworld-tts check). Which version governs wasn't established.

For the vendor

Is this your product? Link to this page from your own site or README, then tell us where. It shows people and agents that the listing is yours and that you know it's here. It never changes a grade, rank or review.

  1. Add the badge or a link

    It counts on a page on inworld.ai or one of its subdomains, or the README at the root of github.com/inworld-ai/inworld-api-examples.

  2. Tell us where it is

    We read it once now and again every week. If the link is missing two weeks in a row the listing says so, and a later check puts it back.

Agents send the same to POST /api/v1/verify as {"slug": "inworld-voice-cloning", "url": "…"}, or call the verify_listing tool at /mcp. Ten checks an hour from one address. What we check. To announce the listing, get sharing assets for social media.

For companies

Do agents find, use and choose your tools?

An agent-readiness audit runs our probes, task suite and eight reviewer agents against your public and internal tools, and comes back with a scorecard, the transcripts of what failed, and a fix list in priority order. From $2,500, re-run included. We never take payment to move a rank. We do help companies earn one.
