Text-to-Speech Comes of Age: Deepgram Launches Conversation-Native Speech
Blog post from Deepgram
Deepgram announced Flux TTS, a conversation-native text-to-speech model for enterprise voice agents that is designed to preserve conversational context, handle interruptions, and generate responsive speech with reported latency as low as 80 milliseconds. Integrated with Deepgram’s Flux speech-to-text service and Voice Agent API, the model enables organizations to combine speech recognition, agent reasoning, and speech synthesis through one platform, reducing the complexity of coordinating separate vendors and systems. Flux TTS is intended for production uses such as account management, scheduling, ordering, sales, and technical support, with features aimed at consistent tone across turns, accurate delivery of alphanumeric and specialized information, and cloud or on-premises deployment options for compliance and data-residency needs. IBM’s watsonx Orchestrate and voice-agent evaluation company Coval cited the model’s potential for improving consistency and reliability in complex interactions. Flux TTS is generally available, with a free developer offer through September 12, 2026, followed by standard pricing.
