Voice Models Catalog
All 30+ voice models available via the Xantly Voice API, grouped by type (STT, TTS, Realtime, Audio LLM, Music) with pricing units and provider info.
Xantly exposes 33 voice models across 6 providers. Use the stt_model / tts_model parameters on the voice endpoints to pick a specific model, or let Xantly auto-route based on language and latency budget.
All models route through the same API key as chat, there is no separate voice subscription. Voice usage bills per-minute (provider pass-through) plus a per-minute platform fee. See voice-agents guide for the billing breakdown.

Auto-routing defaults
If you omit stt_model / tts_model, Xantly auto-routes:
- STT: English →
deepgram/nova-2, other languages →openai/whisper-1 - TTS:
openai/gpt-4o-mini-ttsby default, or ElevenLabs/Deepgram/Groq whenprovideris set on the request
Key rotation and fallback
All models that go through OpenRouter, NVIDIA, or Groq use round-robin key rotation across your configured API key pool (e.g. GROQ_API_KEY_1..6). On a per-key 402 / 429, requests automatically waterfall to the next key in the pool. See reliability guide for details.
