Today, we’re launching Bland Speech v3 - The world's first Human Speech Engine. In @designarena’s Audio Realism benchmark, Speech v3 is the top model, outranking Elevenlabs, Grok, Cartesia, and OpenAI. Trained on over 100 million real, human conversations: businesses, developers, and creators can now create any audio they can imagine. To showcase this, we used 5 seconds of old footage to help James, a 49 year old father who recently suffered a stroke, get his voice back.
