That is substantially more expensive than TTS (text-to-speech) which already is quite expensive.
- qwertox 2y agoI agree. I'm wondering if it is possible to disable output streaming of audio and just get the text response event.
- colaco 2y agoIt seems so. The configuration of the session accepts a parameter (modalities) that could restrict the response only to text. See it in https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/realtime-client-events https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/realtime-clie....
- bcherry 2y agocorrect - you should also be able to save a lot by skipping their built-in VAD and doing turn detection (if you need it) locally to avoid paying for silent inputs.
- minimaxir 2y agoFair, it wouldn't work well for on-demand generation in an app, but for ad-hoc cases like a voice-over it's not a huge expense. If OpenAI decides to fully ignore ethics and dive deep into voice cloning, then all bets are off.
