What Hume AI (Octave) is
What sets it apart TTS paired with an expression-measurement and real-time voice (EVI) stack
Octave is Hume AI's text-to-speech API, part of a platform that also includes a real-time voice interface (EVI, the Empathic Voice Interface), an Expression Measurement API, and evaluation tooling for voice AI teams. The TTS product converts text to speech with voice cloning available across all tiers, and is billed by characters of generated audio (roughly mapped to minutes, where about 10,000 characters is 10 minutes). It fits developers and product teams building conversational or narration features who want an API rather than a standalone editor.
