Seed Audio 1.0

Seed Audio 1.0 combines a language model for semantic control with a diffusion model for acoustic generation. It covers speech, sound effects and ambient audio.

Technical guide

The API supports timing control and optional word timestamps. For image-conditioned voice generation, the text prompt contains the words to synthesize. Audio-reference mode instead supports a description of the desired sound.Seed Audio 1.0 HTTP API

Practical use

Practical guidance. For a sound scene, describe each sound and its timing. For narration, specify the exact words and listen for omissions. These are different acceptance checks even though the same model produces both.
