Design and replicate voices with Gemini 3.8 Flash TTS

Google Developers (Google I/O) · Oct 21, 2026 · Product Launches

Gemini TTS now replicates any voice from 20 seconds of audio and designs new voices from text descriptions

“So that was my voice that I just replicated here in Google AI Studio from just 20 seconds of audio.”

Google unveiled voice design and voice replication as major upgrades to Gemini TTS, demonstrated live at Google I/O. Voice design lets developers generate custom voices from natural-language descriptions (e.g., accent, age, energy level), while voice replication clones a speaker from just 20 seconds of audio. The capabilities extend to multi-speaker dialog generation and are fully accessible via the Gemini API, lowering the barrier to production-quality synthetic speech significantly.
