Rime's speech synthesis API is now available over a websocket connection.
We're thrilled to announce the launch of Rime's WebSocket API, designed to provide developers with a seamless and efficient way to integrate real-time speech synthesis into their applications. This new feature underscores our commitment to delivering fast, lifelike voice AI experiences tailored to your specific needs.
Why WebSockets?
WebSockets offer a persistent, full-duplex communication channel over a single TCP connection, enabling real-time data exchange between clients and servers. By leveraging WebSockets, Rime's API allows for instantaneous transmission of text and reception of synthesized audio, ensuring minimal latency and a more interactive user experience.
Key Benefits:
- Real-Time Interaction: Send text inputs and receive audio outputs in real-time, facilitating dynamic conversational applications.
- Reduced Latency: The persistent connection minimizes the overhead of establishing new HTTP requests, resulting in faster response times.
- Efficient Data Handling: Streamlined communication ensures efficient handling of data, making it ideal for applications requiring rapid and continuous data exchange.
Getting Started
Integrating Rime's WebSocket API into your application is straightforward. Here's a quick overview to help you get started:
- Establish a Connection:
Initiate a WebSocket connection to Rime's server, specifying your desired parameters such asspeaker,modelId, andaudioFormat. - Send Text Messages:
Transmit plain text messages over the established connection. The API buffers input until it encounters punctuation marks like.,,,?, or!to ensure natural prosody in the synthesized speech. - Receive Audio Streams:
The API responds with raw audio bytes in your specified format, ready for playback or further processing in your application.
For detailed instructions, including supported commands and variable parameters, please refer to our WebSocket API documentation.
