> `Simba` names the model family, not the brand. Model ids: `simba-3.2` (English, recommended) and `simba-3.0` (English, German, Spanish, French, Italian and Portuguese; the default). `simba-english` and `simba-multilingual` are retired: a new workspace that sends either gets `400 model_retired`. `SimbaVoice` / `simbavoice.ai` are retired.

# Get started

## Docs

- [Quickstart](https://docs.speechify.ai/build/guides/get-started/quickstart.md): Make your first SpeechifyAI Build TTS call: get an API key, install the Python or TypeScript SDK, generate speech, and choose a voice.
- [Text-to-Speech Quickstart](https://docs.speechify.ai/build/text-to-speech-quickstart.md): Text-to-speech quickstart: get an API key, install the SDK, call POST /v1/audio/speech, and save a playable audio file in a few minutes.
- [Text-to-Speech API](https://docs.speechify.ai/build/text-to-speech-api.md): The SpeechifyAI text-to-speech API: authenticate, call POST /v1/audio/speech with the Python, TypeScript, or HTTP SDK, and get natural audio back fast.
- [Streaming TTS Guide](https://docs.speechify.ai/build/streaming-tts-guide.md): Streaming text-to-speech guide: call POST /v1/audio/stream to receive audio chunks in real time, begin playback early, and handle up to 20,000 characters.
- [Voice Cloning Quickstart](https://docs.speechify.ai/build/voice-cloning-quickstart.md): Voice cloning quickstart: record a short sample, have the speaker read a consent phrase, POST both to /v1/voices, and synthesize speech in the cloned voice. Verified consent is required.
- [Authentication](https://docs.speechify.ai/build/guides/get-started/authentication.md): Authenticate Speechify API requests with a Bearer API key. Get and rotate keys in the console, store them securely, and use a server-side proxy for frontends.
- [Service accounts](https://docs.speechify.ai/build/guides/get-started/service-accounts.md): Service accounts are machine identities that hold a scope ceiling and own one or more API keys. Rotate keys with zero downtime and mint short-lived, least-privilege keys for agents.
- [Enterprise SSO](https://docs.speechify.ai/build/guides/get-started/enterprise-sso.md): Set up enterprise SAML or OIDC single sign-on for a Speechify workspace through the WorkOS Admin Portal. Owners and admins connect an identity provider once; members then sign in with their work email.
- [Official SDKs](https://docs.speechify.ai/build/guides/get-started/official-sdks.md): Install and use the official Speechify API SDKs for Python and TypeScript, or call the REST API directly. Both SDKs read SPEECHIFY_API_KEY automatically.
- [Connect the docs MCP server](https://docs.speechify.ai/build/guides/get-started/connect-mcp.md): Install the Speechify docs MCP server (https://docs.speechify.ai/_mcp/server) in Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, or Claude Desktop. It answers questions about the Speechify API, SDKs, and docs with citations to the page it found.
- [Testing Safely](https://docs.speechify.ai/build/guides/get-started/testing-safely.md): Test the Speechify API safely without a sandbox: create a dedicated development workspace, fund a prepaid balance, and cap what a test key may spend.
