An SSE event may contain multiple data: lines. Combine all data: lines in the event before parsing JSON. Base64-decode and concatenate audio chunks in event order. The final frame has output.finish_reason=stop and returns the complete audio URL.

Request body

Parameter	Type	Required	Default	Description
`model`	`string`	Required	—	The speech synthesis model ID. See Non-real-time speech synthesis for models and regions.
`input`	`object`	Required	—	The input parameters.
`input.text`	`string`	Required	—	Text to synthesize. Set `enable_ssml=true` for SSML input. LaTeX input requires no additional setting. See SSML and LaTeX for supported models, tags, and syntax.
`input.voice`	`string`	Required	—	The voice ID. For system voices, see the voice list. Create a custom voice with voice cloning or voice design, then synthesize with its bound target model.
`input.format`	`string`	Optional	`mp3`	Audio encoding. Valid values: `mp3`, `pcm`, `wav`, and `opus`.
`input.sample_rate`	`integer`	Optional	22050	Audio sample rate in Hz. Valid values: 8000, 12000, 16000, 22050, 24000, 44100, and 48000. With `format=opus`, only 8000, 12000, 16000, 24000, and 48000 are supported.
`input.volume`	`integer`	Optional	50	Volume. Range: [0, 100].
`input.rate`	`float`	Optional	1.0	Speaking rate. Range: [0.5, 2.0].
`input.bit_rate`	`integer`	Optional	32	Audio bitrate in kbps. Range: [6, 510]. Applies only when `format=opus`.
`input.pitch`	`float`	Optional	1.0	Pitch. Range: [0.5, 2.0].
`input.enable_ssml`	`boolean`	Optional	—	Whether to enable SSML. See Usage limits for model, voice, and interface restrictions.
`input.word_timestamp_enabled`	`boolean`	Optional	`false`	Whether to return word-level timestamps. Streaming output only. Cloned voices are supported. See the voice list for supported system voices.
`input.seed`	`integer`	Optional	0	Random seed. Range: [0, 65535]. With the same model version, text, voice, and other parameters, the same seed reproduces the same synthesis result.
`input.language_hints`	`array[string]`	Optional	—	The target synthesis language. Only the first array element is processed. This is independent of the source language of a cloning sample. Set it for unexpected pronunciation of numbers, abbreviations, symbols, or less common languages. Language codes are listed below. For the cloning source language, see the voice cloning API.
`input.instruction`	`string`	Optional	—	An instruction controlling dialect, emotion, or role. See Instruction control for model and voice support and usage.
`input.enable_aigc_tag`	`boolean`	Optional	`false`	Whether to embed an invisible AIGC identifier in WAV, MP3, or Opus audio.
`input.aigc_propagator`	`string`	Optional	QwenCloud account ID	The `ContentPropagator` field of the identifier, identifying the distributor. Applies only with `enable_aigc_tag=true`.
`input.aigc_propagate_id`	`string`	Optional	Request ID of this request	The `PropagateID` field of the identifier, identifying this distribution operation. Applies only with `enable_aigc_tag=true`.
`input.hot_fix`	`object`	Optional	—	Text hotfix configuration. `pronunciation` customizes pronunciation for specified words. `replace` replaces specified text before synthesis.

`output.finish_reason`	`string`	The stop reason. `null` means synthesis is in progress; `stop` means synthesis is complete.
`output.type`	`string`	Returned only for streaming output. `sentence-begin` marks the start of a sentence; `sentence-synthesis` marks an audio chunk, with multiple chunks possible per sentence; `sentence-end` marks the end and includes usage. Audio chunks and data frames correspond one to one. Append chunks to the same file in order.
`output.original_text`	`string`	A sentence segmented from the input text. May be absent for the final sentence.
`output.sentence`	`object`	Sentence information.
`output.sentence.index`	`integer`	The sentence index, starting at 0.
`output.sentence.words`	`array`	Words in the sentence and their timestamps.
`output.sentence.words[].text`	`string`	A word or character.
`output.sentence.words[].begin_index`	`integer`	The start position in the sentence, starting at 0.
`output.sentence.words[].end_index`	`integer`	The end position in the sentence, starting at 1.
`output.sentence.words[].begin_time`	`integer`	The audio start timestamp of the word, in milliseconds.
`output.sentence.words[].end_time`	`integer`	The audio end timestamp of the word, in milliseconds.
`output.audio`	`object`	The synthesized audio.
`output.audio.data`	`string`	A Base64 audio chunk for streaming output. Empty for non-streaming output.
`output.audio.url`	`string`	The complete audio file URL, valid for 24 hours.
`output.audio.id`	`string`	The synthesized audio identifier.
`output.audio.expires_at`	`integer`	The expiry timestamp of `url`.
`usage`	`object`	Usage information. Note: `qwen-audio-3.1-tts-flash` is billed by input and output tokens. `qwen-audio-3.1-tts-plus`, `qwen-audio-3.0-tts-plus`, and `qwen-audio-3.0-tts-flash` are billed by character.
`usage.input_tokens`	`integer`	Input tokens. Applies only to qwen-audio-3.1-tts-plus, qwen-audio-3.1-tts-flash.
