What The Speechify and LiveKit Partnership Means
With this integration, LiveKit developers now have access to Speechify’s advanced AI voice technology directly within the LiveKit Agents SDK, giving them the ability to create voice-driven bots that sound natural, expressive, and human-like. Speechify’s TTS offering supports over 60 languages and dialects and includes more than 1,000 high-quality voices—spanning everything from casual and friendly tones to professional and persuasive delivery.

Their new Agents feature is specifically designed for building voice-based bots that interact with users in real time. Now hrough the Speechify integration, those bots can speak in clear, emotionally engaging human voices.
