inworld

Guidance for using the Inworld text-to-speech API, a service that turns written text into spoken audio. It covers voice cloning, speech controls, pronunciation, and timing data for matching speech with animation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to generate spoken audio, clone a voice from a short recording, control emotion or pronunciation, and align speech with lip movements.
Why use it?
It helps developers integrate speech generation without having to discover the API's request format and timing concepts themselves.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade B, and why

inworld scanned grade B with 2 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Sends data to an external URLmediumData exfiltration

A POST to an outside endpoint may be telemetry or may be exfiltration; either way the mod talks to somewhere, and you should know where.

API Reference api.md

When to Use

  • Text-to-speech audio generation
  • Voice cloning from 5-15 seconds of audio
  • Emotion-controlled speech ([happy], [sad], etc.)
  • Word/phoneme timestamps for lip sync
  • Custom pronunciation with IPA

Models

Model ID Latency Price
TTS-2 inworld-tts-2 latest see pricing
TTS 1.5 Max inworld-tts-1.5-max legacy legacy
TTS 1.5 Mini inworld-tts-1.5-mini legacy legacy

Minimal Example

import requests, base64, os

response = requests.post(
    "https://api.inworld.ai/tts/v1/voice",
    headers={"Authorization": f"Basic {os.getenv('INWORLD_API_KEY')}"},
    json={"text": "Hello!", "voiceId": "Ashley", "modelId": "inworld-tts-1.5-max"}
)
audio = base64.b64decode(response.json()['audioContent'])

Key Features

  • 15 languages — en, zh, ja, ko, ru, it, es, pt, fr, de, pl, nl, hi, he, ar
  • Instant cloning — 5-15 seconds audio, no training
  • Audio markups[happy], [laughing], [sigh] (English only)
  • Timestamps — word, phoneme, viseme timing for lip sync
  • Streaming/voice:stream endpoint
  • TTS-2 steering — natural-language bracketed directions such as [say excitedly] or [whisper in a hushed style]
  • Delivery modeSTABLE, BALANCED, CREATIVE trade consistency for emotional range
  • Cross-lingual synthesis — reuse one voice across multiple languages; voice localization improves native-sounding output

What ships with it

5 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

inworld is a skill published in the GitHub repository itechmeat/llm-code (22 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 66 tokens to every session and 861 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 2 findings (sends data to an external url, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
