Perplexity

Convert long documents into audiobook quality narration.

Need to read an entire article or a manual? Use `synthesize_long_text` when your text passes the 1024 character limit. This tool handles massive chunks of writing, making it perfect for generating audiobooks and lengthy documentation files. It's better than stitching together smaller pieces; this function processes huge volumes of text in one go, giving you consistent results across every chapter.

Build your own branded voice with the MCP Server.

Want a unique sound that isn't generic? Start by calling `create_custom_voice`. You supply 10-50 high-quality audio recordings from one speaker, and we train a custom model over 1 to 3 days. Once it’s ready, you use the resulting voice type in other synthesis calls. This lets your AI client speak with a recognizable brand identity—it's powerful for professional content creators or internal training materials.

Control every nuance of speech using SSML.

Don’t just let the text run out. Use `synthesize_ssml` to add precise timing and intonation control via tags like `<break>` or `<emphasis>`. This means your narration sounds natural, not robotic. It's ideal for scripts where a pause after a comma feels wrong, or if you need a specific word emphasized. You get granular control over the final audio output.
