Voice Tags

Voice tags are free-form labels attached to each voice, useful for filtering, grouping, and discovery. Tags are best for vocal style, voice quality, and use-case descriptors.

Tags are not where gender, age group, or categories go. Those are separate structured fields with fixed enums (gender, ageGroup, categories) — set them via UpdateVoice after cloning. Putting "female" or "adult" in tags will not populate those fields.

Understanding voice tags

Each voice includes a tags array with free-form labels such as:

Vocal style: energetic, calm, professional, friendly, warm
Voice quality: smooth, clear, expressive, conversational
Use-case hints: narrator, announcer, character

Structured metadata (set via UpdateVoice, not tags):

gender: male, female, neutral
ageGroup: young, middle_aged, elderly
categories: companions, developer_assistants, education_training, enterprise, healthcare, interactive_media

Adding voice tags

You can add custom tags to a voice when cloning it in the TTS Playground:

In the TTS Playground, click Create a Voice and select Clone.
Enter a name for your voice, then add tags — press Enter after each tag to add it to the list.
Upload or record your audio sample and complete the cloning flow. See Voice Cloning for the full walkthrough.
Your new voice will appear in your voice list with the assigned tags.

Using voice tags

Voice tags are returned in the List voices in a workspace endpoint response, so you can filter and select voices programmatically:
