Questions
What do I send to turn text into speech?
Send text in one POST to https://api.percify.io/v3/playground/v1/run. You get an audio file of the text spoken aloud.
What does it cost?
With Speech-02-Turbo it is $0.125 each (5 credits each). The picks on this page range from $0.05 each to $0.25 each. The estimate call returns the exact price of your input before you run it, and a run that fails is refunded.
Which model should I use?
Budget: Qwen3 TTS Flash ($0.05 each). Balanced: Speech-02-Turbo ($0.125 each). Premium: ElevenLabs Eleven V3 ($0.25 each). Switching is one string in the request: the model id.
Can an AI agent do this for me?
Yes. Connect your agent to the MCP server at https://mcp.percify.io/mcp and ask for it in plain words. The agent calls the generate tool with the same model id and input shown on this page, and the call spends the same credits.
