Voices, an open-source text-to-speech project, was designed for applications running on Java 17 or newer. The library requires no external APIs or manually installed software. Audio files can be generated for various languages based on dictionaries or OpenVoice. Henry Coles, creator of Voices and Pitest and head of mutation testing at Arcmutate, introduced Voices on Bluesky in September 2025 and the latest version, released in late October 2025, is 0.0.8.

Generate Speech is the first time Adobe has added text-to-speech capabilities to Firefly, leveraging its own Firefly models, as well as models from ElevenLabs. At launch, Adobe says it'll support 15 languages with Generate Speech, and you'll be able to add emotion tags. These tags aren't universal, so you can add different tags to different parts of a line to change the inflection. Generate Soundtrack and Generate Speech are rolling out shortly to Firefly.

To evaluate the generation quality of singing vocals, we utilize the Mean Opinion Score (MOS) to gauge the naturalness of the synthesized vocal.

OpenAI released a new version of their reasoning model, o3, along with a reduction in API pricing for existing models by up to 80%.
