# TTS Playground

> Explore TTS models and test voices

The TTS Playground makes it easy to try out Inworld's TTS capabilities through an interactive playground. It can be used to find the perfect voice for your project, test different text inputs, adjust voice settings, and experiment with audio markup tags.

## Get Started

<Steps titleSize="h3">
  <Step title="Go to Inworld Portal" iconType="light">
    In [Portal](https://platform.inworld.ai/), select **TTS Playground** from the left-hand side panel.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter text">
    Enter the text you want to convert to speech. If you need some ideas, you can select one of the suggestion chips at the bottom of the screen. Note that character limits in TTS playground depend on your plan, see the [Pricing page](https://inworld.ai/pricing) for details. You can also use our API to generate longer content, see [Long Text Input](/tts/capabilities/long-text-input).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select a voice">
    On the right-hand side, click on the voice dropdown to browse available voices. You can filter by language or search by name, and click the play button next to each voice to hear how the voice sounds. Select a voice.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Generate speech">
    Click the "Generate" button on the bottom right. The audio will automatically start playing once it's been generated. You can also download the clip to save it.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Advanced Features

For greater control over the generated audio, you can try out the following:

1. **Try a different model** - Select a different model from the right-hand side panel to see how it compares. See [Models](/tts/tts-models) for more information about each model.
2. **Adjust configurations** - Use the sliders on the right-hand side panel to adjust Temperature and Talking Speed. See [here](/tts/capabilities/generating-audio#additional-configurations) for more information.
3. **Add pauses** - Try adding SSML break tags like `<break time="1s" />` to insert pauses in your speech. See [Pause Controls](/tts/capabilities/pause-controls) for more information.

## Create a Voice

In the TTS Playground, click **+ Create a Voice** to design a new voice from a text description or clone one from audio:

* **[Voice Design](/tts/voice-design)** — Describe the voice you want in text (age, accent, tone, etc.) and get AI-generated voice candidates
* **[Voice Cloning](/tts/voice-cloning)** — Clone a voice from 5–15 seconds of audio samples
