Sonic 3.5 is now available on sonic-3-latest. We'd love for you to try it and tell us what you think.

Why you should try it

  • More natural speech, pacing, and emotional expression, especially noticeable on expressive, conversational, and support-style transcripts.
  • Cleaner audio quality across all languages and voices.
  • Better alphanumeric read-out — confirmation codes, order numbers, phone numbers, IDs, and emails sound meaningfully more natural, in all supported languages.
  • Step-change multilingual performance, particularly Hebrew, Japanese, Spanish, Hindi, German, Korean, and French.
  • English heteronyms — tricky English heteronyms like "read," "bass," and "bow" now pronounce correctly in context.

How to try it

  1. Point your API call or Playground request to the model ID sonic-3-latest.
