Chinese Text to Speech API

Add natural Chinese voice generation to your product with a single HTTP request. Send Chinese text, get back lifelike MP3 audio — no SDK required, works with any language or framework.

Mandarin Chinese has over 1.1 billion speakers and is written with logographic characters, so natural text to speech has to handle tone and phrasing correctly. LyreWave reads Simplified Chinese with natural pitch and pacing.

Quick example

Convert Chinese text to speech in one request:

curl -X POST https://lyrewave.com/api/v1/text-to-speech/CwhRBWXzGAHq8TQ4Fs17 \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"text":"欢迎使用 LyreWave,一站式 AI 语音工作室。","model_id":"premium"}' \

The text field above is real Chinese: “欢迎使用 LyreWave,一站式 AI 语音工作室。
