## Voice Format

```
Soniox.tts-rt-v2.<VoiceId>
```

Example: `Soniox.tts-rt-v2.Emma`

## Models

| Model       | Description                                               |
| ----------- | --------------------------------------------------------- |
| `tts-rt-v2` | Real-time model. **Default** and the only model accepted. |

## Voices

Around 200 voices under `tts-rt-v2`; every voice speaks all supported languages. Browse the full catalog via the [Voices API](https://developers.telnyx.com/api-reference/text-to-speech-commands/list-available-voices); samples are on the [Soniox provider page](/docs/voice/tts/providers/soniox).

## Language

Set `voice_settings.language` on the init frame, or the `language` query parameter, to the two-letter ISO 639-1 code of the text, for example `en`, `it`, or `pt`. The default is `en`. The [Soniox provider page](/docs/voice/tts/providers/soniox#language) lists the supported languages.

## Voice Settings

| Field            | Type    | Default | Description                            |
| ---------------- | ------- | ------- | -------------------------------------- |
| `language`       | string  | `en`    | Two-letter ISO 639-1 code of the text. |
| `speed`          | float   | `1.0`   | Speaking rate, `0.7` to `1.3`.         |
| `reduce_silence` | boolean | `false` | Shortens the pauses between words.     |
