Fish Audio

Fish Audio is an open voice platform with millions of community voices, instant voice cloning, and the open-source Fish Speech TTS engine.

Overview

Fish Audio runs one of the largest open voice libraries, where users share, discover, and use millions of cloned and original voices for text-to-speech. Its Fish Speech engine delivers fast, natural synthesis in multiple languages, and voice cloning takes just seconds of reference audio to create a usable voice. The platform spans a web studio, API, and open-source model releases.

The community model library means anyone can browse voices by language, style, and character — from narrators to game characters — and use them immediately. Creators can publish their own voices, set usage terms, and track adoption, building a true voice marketplace rather than a closed voice bank.

The open-source Fish Speech engine deserves separate credit: teams can self-host it, audit the models, and build custom deployments while still using Fish Audio’s hosted marketplace for voice discovery. Community voice publishing gives creators a way to earn from voices others use.

Pricing

Fish Audio is freemium: basic TTS and limited cloning are free, while paid credit packs and subscriptions unlock higher volumes, commercial licensing, priority processing, and full API access. Credit pricing undercuts most competitors, and developers can meter API usage precisely so costs track product growth rather than fixed seats.

Who Is It For

Fish Audio serves developers, game studios, and content creators who need diverse voices and fast cloning at low cost.

It is ideal for teams that want both hosted convenience and open-source deployment options.

Interactive fiction and game studios browse the voice library to cast characters without commissioning voice actors for every role.
