Google releases Gemini 3.8 Flash and Flash‑Lite text‑to‑speech models
Google introduced two new Gemini 3.8 text‑to‑speech models—Flash TTS for highly expressive, character-driven voice design and Flash‑Lite TTS for cost‑efficient, high‑volume use—available across Google AI Studio, Gemini API/Enterprise, Gemini Notebook, and Google Vids. The models claim large voice coverage (2,000+ production voices, 100+ languages/dialects), generative voice creation from prompts, 30‑second voice replication with consent verification, SynthID watermarking and C2PA credentials, and features for long‑form and multi‑speaker scene staging.
