Voices
Listen to every voice before you pick one for your product. Each sample below reads the same expressive line, “वाह, यह तो कमाल है! Sarvam AI के साथ अपनी भाषा में बात करना अब बहुत आसान हो गया है।” (“Wow, this is amazing! Talking in your own language with Sarvam AI has become so easy now.”), so you can compare voices directly and hear how each one handles natural emotion and prosody. Use the speaker parameter to select any of these in your API calls; see How to change the speaker voice for code samples.
