Hi @STStreamZ,

Welcome to Google Cloud Community!

Aoede, Charon, Fenrir, Kore, Leda, Orus, Puck, and Zephyr are Generally Available (GA) as listed on this documentation.

Was this helpful? If so, please accept this answer as “Solution”. If you need additional assistance, reply here within 2 business days and I’ll be happy to help.

Thanks for the reply NorieRam. That particular page does not show GA status. It indicates available voices. All available voices are listed there regardless of release status.

For example Chirp HD Text to Speech and Polyglot Text to Speech voices are in "Preview" release status and are not "GA" at this time. These pages show release status for Chirp HD and Polyglot:

• https://cloud.google.com/text-to-speech/pricing?hl=en
• https://cloud.google.com/speech-to-text/docs/release-notes

Those pages do not show release status for Aoede, Charon, Fenrir, Kore, Leda, Orus, Puck, and Zephyr. They have not been announced as Preview or GA anywhere.

Documentation was published for set of voices six day ago.

• https://cloud.google.com/text-to-speech/docs/chirp3-hd

It's good to see that. At this time for Chirp 3 there is not indication of release status, or pricing.

I appreciate the documentation update. Release status solved!

The voices named are Chirp3. Current release status is "Preview". See:
