PlayHT
Low-latency voice built for agents that have to answer immediately.
FreemiumFrom $39/mo
Overview
PlayHT has optimised hard for latency, which makes it a common choice for conversational voice agents where a pause of half a second reads as a broken system. Its models generate the first audio in a few hundred milliseconds, fast enough for natural turn-taking on a phone call.
Voice quality is good rather than category-leading, and that is the deliberate trade. For narration where nothing is waiting on the render, other tools sound better; for a live agent, latency is the feature that matters most.
