So I have a funny story about this ...

We hosted a dinner for people working on real-time AI stuff last December. @deepgramscott, founder of Deepgram, was there and early in the evening he told me, "Hey, those voice models we've been working on, we just shipped them!"

Later at the same dinner I talked to @natrugrats, VP of Product at Deepgram. I said, "Hey, Scott told me you just shipped voices. Congratulations, that's awesome." She got this look on her face that I recognize from @mark_backman, @trydaily's VP of Product. "Well ..."

So, congratulations to @DeepgramAI for shipping truly great, truly fast voice models in December (beta) and shipping them now (even better, even faster, general availability).

The wait is finally over! We're thrilled to present Aura text-to-speech to the world. 👋

TL;DR it checks all the boxes:
⚡️ Lightning-fast: <250 ms latency
🗣️ High-quality voices: natural tone, rhythm, emotion
🚀 Cost-effective for high-throughput use cases
