Basque speech synthesis for production voice apps

Basque is spoken by more than 750 thousand people in Spain and around the world. If your voice agent, IVR, or narration product speaks to them, text-to-speech has to get the details right: phone numbers and codes read exactly as written, names pronounced the way Basque speakers expect, and text that mixes Basque with English spoken in one voice.

Soniox TTS generates Basque speech over a real-time WebSocket, starting audio from the first few words, or with a single REST request, through one multilingual API built for 60+ languages. Every voice speaks Basque, you can clone your own voice, mix languages in one sentence, and get character-level timestamps.

Exceptional quality in Basque

Hallucination-free Basque speech generation
