# Media · Generate · List available TTS voices

GET https://api.simplified.com/api/v1/voices

List voices available to the current workspace, filtered by language.

`language_code` is the ONLY required parameter — use an exact BCP-47 locale
(`en-US`, `en-GB`, `fr-FR`, `hi-IN`, `ja-JP`). Combine with `is_premium=true`
for a short, high-quality shortlist.

The optional filters (`gender`, `provider`, `engine`, `is_premium`,
`language_name`, `search`) all default to an empty string `""`, which
means "no filter — return everything". Leave them at `""` unless the user
explicitly asked to filter. Do NOT substitute `0`/`false` for "no filter":
`0` is a REAL value (gender 0 = Male, provider 0 = Google, engine 0 =
Neural), so sending it silently narrows the list. The empty-string default
is the ONLY correct "unset" value.

Response:

* `voices[]`: `id` (uuid), `voice_name`, `language_code`, `avatar`,
  `voice_sample`, `gender` (0=Male, 1=Female, 3=Neutral), `is_premium`,
  `description`, `supports_instructions` (bool — `true` if the voice honors
  the `instructions` style/pace hint on generateAudio). Use `id` as
  `voice_id` in generateAudio. To re-resolve a single known `voice_id`
  (e.g. from a saved preference) without re-listing, use `getVoice`.
* `languages[]`: distinct `{language_code, language_name}` pairs.

To resolve a known `voice_name` (e.g. from an avatar roster) to its `id`, pass
`voice_name` + `language_code` — that pair is unique, and the `id` differs per
locale, so the name must be re-resolved whenever the language changes. Always
check the entry you use actually has that `voice_name` rather than trusting
`voices[0]` — see the `voice_name` parameter.

## Authentication

- `Authorization` header (required) (prefixed with ` Api-Key   `) — Header authentication of the form `Api-Key  <token>`
- `Authorization` header (bearer token, required) — Bearer authentication of the form `Bearer <token>`, where token is your auth token.

## Request

### Query parameters

- `language_code` (string, required) — BCP-47 locale, exact match (e.g. `en-US`, `fr-FR`). Always required — narrows the list significantly.
- `language_name` (string, optional) — Display name, exact match (e.g. `English (US)`). Use when you only have the display name.
- `voice_name` (ApiV1VoicesGetParametersVoiceName, optional, default: ) — Exact voice name, case-sensitive (e.g. `Leda`, `Puck`). NOT unique on its own — a Chirp name exists once per locale (`Leda` x 53), and each locale has its own distinct `id`. Always pair with `language_code` to land a single voice. Use when you hold a name from a curated roster and need its `id` for generateAudio. ALWAYS confirm the returned entry's `voice_name` equals the name you asked for before using its `id`: deployments that predate this filter ignore the parameter and return the whole locale, so trusting `voices[0]` blindly can hand you a different voice — and a wrong-gender one.
- `search` (string, optional) — Substring match across `language_code` and `language_name` only — it does NOT search voice names. `search=Orus` returns nothing; to find a voice by name use the `voice_name` parameter. Use this for genuinely vague locale requests ("any English voice" → `search=en`).
- `is_premium` (ApiV1VoicesGetParametersIsPremium, optional, default: ) — Filter to premium (`true`) or standard (`false`) voices. Leave as the default empty string "" to return BOTH tiers. Only set `true`/`false` when the user explicitly asks for premium or standard.
- `provider` (ApiV1VoicesGetParametersProvider, optional, default: ) — Filter by TTS provider: 0=Google, 2=ElevenLabs, 3=OpenAI, 4=Microsoft, 5=Google Chirp 3 HD, 6=Gemini Flash TTS. Leave as the default empty string "" to include ALL providers. `0` is a real value (Google), NOT 'any' — only send an integer when the user explicitly names a provider.
- `gender` (ApiV1VoicesGetParametersGender, optional, default: ) — Filter by voice gender: 0=Male, 1=Female, 3=Neutral. Leave as the default empty string "" to return ALL genders. `0` is a real value (Male), NOT 'any' — only send an integer when the user explicitly asks for a gender.
- `engine` (ApiV1VoicesGetParametersEngine, optional, default: ) — Filter by synthesis engine: 0=Neural (higher quality), 1=Standard. Leave as the default empty string "" to return ALL engines. `0` is a real value (Neural), NOT 'any' — only send an integer when the user explicitly asks to restrict by engine.
