About
GPT-4o Mini TTS is OpenAI's instructable text-to-speech model built on GPT-4o mini, released March 20, 2025. Supports natural language instructions to control tone, style, pacing, and emotion (instructable TTS) — the model follows conversational prompts to adjust delivery rather than relying on static voice presets. OpenAI's recommended cost-efficient TTS for production. Input: text tokens + instructions at $0.60/1M tokens. Output: audio tokens at $12.00/1M tokens. Accepts up to 2,000 input tokens. API ID: gpt-4o-mini-tts.
