MiniMax Speech 2.8 — HD

Generate speech from text prompts and different voices using the MiniMax Speech-2.8 HD model, which leverages advanced AI techniques to create high-quality text-to-speech.

Input

Add your inputs and customize the generation settings.

Input guidance

Text to convert to speech. Use `<#x#>` for pauses (x = 0.01-99.99 seconds). Supports interjection tags: `(laughs)`, `(sighs)`, `(coughs)`, `(clears throat)`, `(gasps)`, `(sniffs)`, `(groans)`, `(yawns)`.

Choose a suggested voice or enter your own voice ID.

Customize your input with more control.

Calculate credits for your selected settings before generating.

Calculate credits in the input panel for your selected settings.

Prices, estimates and credit deductions exclude tax. Any applicable tax is charged only when you buy plans or credits.

Prices are converted to INR. Credits use your current plan rate.

  • Prices shown are estimates, not final charges. Final billing details will be available in Reports after generation is complete.

API

WEBOT API · HD

Generate from your server with your WEBOT account credits.

Use your 120-character WEBOT customer key (a–z, A–Z, 0–9). Send Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY. Keys are secrets: call from a server, never from public frontend code. Results come from verified webhooks and remain saved if your stream disconnects.
1. Configure your server
WEBOT_BASE_URL=https://webot.online
WEBOT_API_KEY=<your-server-side-WEBOT-key>

This base URL is resolved from verified domain mappings and your direct creator reseller. Forwarded Host headers are not trusted. New custom reseller domains need DNS, TLS and platform verification before activation.

2. Quote, then generate
MethodEndpointPurpose
POSThttps://webot.online/api/v1/models/minimax_speech_2_8_hd/quoteValidate input and calculate credits (no deduction).
POSThttps://webot.online/api/v1/models/minimax_speech_2_8_hd/requestsReserve quoted credits and queue an asynchronous job.
GEThttps://webot.online/api/v1/models/minimax_speech_2_8_hd/requests/{request_id}/resultRead your saved result: 202 pending, 200 terminal.
GEThttps://webot.online/api/v1/models/minimax_speech_2_8_hd/requests/{request_id}/eventsAuthenticated SSE: generation / terminal events.

Send JSON {"input":{…}} to quote. Send the same input plus integer quoted_credits to generate, with Authorization: Bearer … and Idempotency-Key. Use a unique 16–128 character key per new job; persist it and reuse the same key and input on any uncertain response. Never retry with a new key: that creates a second chargeable job.

Credits are reserved only after validation and a durable request is saved. A changed quote or insufficient balance returns 409. Credits exclude purchase taxes. The quoted amount is an initial reservation. After generation, the final charge replaces it using confirmed usage. Any verified unused allocation becomes available automatically; additional usage may require more credits. Missing billing stays pending, including for failed jobs.

3. Input example

Save this as input.json. Replace sample prompts, files and media URLs with your own. Schemas do not guarantee provider acceptance of the content.

{
    "prompt": "Audit sample text",
    "output_format": "url",
    "voice_setting": {
        "vol": 1,
        "speed": 1,

        "voice_id": "Wise_Woman",
        "english_normalization": false
    }
}

5. Receive all results

The response includes a stable WEBOT request_id, events_url and result_url. Subscribe with a Bearer-authenticated HTTP stream. Nonterminal streams end after 25 seconds; reconnect to the same URL after at least 1.5 seconds. Current saved state is replayed immediately, including completion that happened while disconnected. A terminal event contains the result envelope. The JSON terminal flag describes generation completion. Keep reconnecting while financial_pending is true; stop after the terminal event confirms financial settlement. Never poll provider status/results. Native browser EventSource cannot send a Bearer header; keep the key on your server.

Completed output contains the full model result, including every generated media/document item, not just the first URL. Failed output is null with error and refund_state. Results are strictly limited to the key owner, including on reseller domains. Model-independent aliases: /api/v1/requests/{request_id}/result and /events. Revoking a key blocks subsequent reads and streams; saved results remain accessible with another valid key of the same account.

6. Schemas and parameter defaults

Required fields are marked with *. Required text must contain non-whitespace content. Defaults apply when an optional parameter is omitted; null, false, 0 and an empty array are distinct values. “No documented default” means WEBOT does not invent one. Examples are sample inputs, not defaults. WEBOT generation constraints can require an explicit value even when the provider publishes an automatic default.

How to use MiniMax Speech 2.8 — HD

Type the words you want spoken. The model reads them aloud using the voice and speech controls available here.

Required inputs

  • Prompt: Your instructions to the model. Say what you want, include the important details and avoid contradictory directions. For a video, describe the action as well as the scene.

Workflow

  1. Prepare your source material and fill the required inputs above. Review the supported settings for this model.
  2. Sign in to calculate the credit estimate. Review the estimate before choosing Generate.
  3. Keep this model page open while the request runs. Completed results arrive in the result area; use the available player or download controls to review the output.

When to use this workflow

  • Create narration or a voice-over.
  • Turn a written passage into spoken audio.

Key settings

Prompt
Your instructions to the model. Say what you want, include the important details and avoid contradictory directions. For a video, describe the action as well as the scene. Minimum characters: 1. Maximum characters: 10000
VoiceSetting
The speaking voice or speaker identity to use. It changes who the speech sounds like; it does not translate your text automatically. Use the supported voices and languages.
Emotion
The requested vocal emotion or expression. Use the available labels and make sure they fit the words being spoken. Supported choices: "happy", "sad", "angry", "fearful", "disgusted", "surprised", "neutral"
Vol
How loud the output is. Raising it too far can cause distortion; it does not remove noise or improve the recording itself. Minimum: 0.01. Maximum: 10
Speed
The pace of speech or playback. Faster means words or media pass more quickly; it does not necessarily make the generation finish sooner. Follow this model’s scale. Minimum: 0.5. Maximum: 2
Pitch
How high or low a voice sounds. It is different from loudness and speaking speed. Large changes can sound unnatural. Minimum: -12. Maximum: 12
