Google: Gemini 3.1 Flash TTS Preview

google/gemini-3.1-flash-tts-preview

Gemini 3.1 Flash TTS Preview is a text-to-speech model from Google, and a substantial generational step up from Gemini 2.5 Flash TTS. It takes text input and produces audio output across 70+ languages — nearly 3× the language coverage of its predecessor.

The headline addition is a system of 200+ inline audio tags (e.g. [whispers], [laughs], [excited]) that let developers steer delivery, emotion, and pacing mid-sentence, alongside a "director's chair" workflow in Google AI Studio for defining per-character Audio Profiles and scene-level context. It supports up to two speakers with independent voice and style configuration per speaker, outputs PCM audio at 24 kHz / 16-bit mono, and automatically watermarks all output with SynthID. Context window is 32k tokens.

Providers

This model is hosted by one provider. OpenRouter forwards every request to it directly — no routing decisions to make.

Performance

Throughput is how fast the model writes (tokens per second — higher is better). Latency is total round-trip time (lower is better). TTFT is time-to-first-token — how long before you see anything appear (lower is better).

Benchmarks

Scores on standardized evaluations. Higher percentages are better — and rank percentile shows where this model lands among all models on OpenRouter.

Apps

Public apps that send the most traffic to this model. Good signal for what real production workloads look like — and a hint at which use cases this model is best suited for.

Activity

Token volume and request traffic to this model over time.

Uptime

Percent of requests that succeeded over the last 30 days. OpenRouter monitors every provider continuously and automatically retries on the next-best provider when one returns an error.

Quick Start

Drop-in code to call this model. OpenRouter's API is OpenAI-compatible — most SDKs work by just swapping the base URL. The only thing that changes between models is the model slug below.
