GOOGLE LAUNCHES GEMINI 3.1 TEXT-TO-SPEECH WITH 70+ LANGUAGES

Gemini 3.1 Flash TTS represents an upgrade in expressive capabilities for Google's speech synthesis technology. The model generates speech that matches natural conversation patterns across a broad range of languages and dialects. Key features include audio tags that allow developers and users to specify speaking parameters at a granular level—adjusting how quickly text is read, the emotional tone conveyed, and stylistic elements. This level of control enables more customized voice outputs for different use cases, from customer service applications to content creation. The 70+ language support expands accessibility for global applications. The technology integrates with Google's Gemini platform, making it available to developers building voice-enabled applications. The release signals Google's continued investment in making AI-generated speech more natural and controllable, competing in a space where voice synthesis quality and flexibility have become increasingly important for enterprise and consumer applications.
