# Onepin

> Onepin is an AI voice production agent for TTS orchestration. Describe the job in plain language and the agent picks the voice, picks the model for the language and conditions, and configures the whole workflow. Onepin's own models then score every line for naturalness and clarity, detect mispronunciations that transcription-based checks miss, and correct the lines that fail — across 100+ text-to-speech models, in any language. Available in the dashboard and via the Python SDK.

## What Onepin Does

Onepin is the AI voice production agent. It sits above individual TTS providers (ElevenLabs, Deepgram, Cartesia, Minimax, Inworld, Rime AI, and 100+ others) and handles voice selection, model selection, routing, quality validation, retry logic, and output delivery.

- Teams talk to the Onepin agent in plain language instead of assembling a pipeline by hand: it interviews you about the job, recommends voices per language, selects the model that fits your quality bar, latency budget, and cost ceiling, and configures the full workflow — model routing, emotion, pacing, quality gates, language routing — automatically
- Every step the agent chooses stays inspectable and adjustable; nothing is a black box
- Each workflow runs via the dashboard or programmatically via the Onepin Python SDK (`pip install onepin`)
- Every output is scored against quality thresholds before delivery by Onepin's own naturalness, clarity, and pronunciation models; what falls short is corrected, retried, or routed to a fallback model — the failure is fixed, not left to chance on the next attempt
- Onepin routes between models per language, use case, quality gate, pricing threshold, and voice similarity score
- Full run history, per-step observability, and usage analytics included

## Who Uses Onepin

- Game studios: NPC dialogue generation across multiple languages with consistent character voice identity
- Audiobook publishers: long-form narration with naturalness validation and pacing consistency
- Localization and dubbing teams: multilingual audio pipelines with per-language quality gates
- E-learning platforms: instructional voice at scale with consistent pacing
- Advertising teams: brand-safe voice creative scaled across regions and demographics
- YouTube and TikTok creators: translate and re-voice content into multiple languages to reach global audiences without re-recording
- Developers: add multilingual voice generation to apps and products via the Onepin Python SDK, without integrating and maintaining multiple TTS provider APIs directly
- AI video creators: add production-ready voiceovers to videos generated with Google Veo, OpenAI Sora, or other AI video tools — Onepin handles model selection, quality validation, and language routing so the voice layer matches the video output

## Key Concepts

- **Agent**: the conversational layer teams work through. It asks what the job needs, suggests voices per language, picks the model for the stated conditions, and configures the workflow end to end — no manual pipeline assembly
- **Workflow**: the pipeline that defines how audio is generated, validated, and delivered. The agent assembles and tunes it from your description; every step remains visible and editable
- **Step**: a single stage in a workflow (e.g., voice model, quality check, pacing, emotion, language detection)
- **Run**: a single execution of a workflow; each run produces one or more audio outputs
- **Provider key**: a credential that connects a TTS provider (e.g., ElevenLabs, Deepgram) to a workflow

## Onepin's In-House Models

Choosing a strong TTS model is not the same as knowing whether the take it returned is usable. Onepin trains and runs its own models for that judgment, so quality on a run is measured and corrected rather than assumed and re-rolled. Five of them carry the pipeline:

- **Naturalness measurement**: rates how human a take sounds. Calibrated per locale rather than tuned on English and extrapolated outward, so the score carries the same meaning in Korean, Portuguese, or German and a single bar can govern a multilingual run.
- **Clarity measurement**: a separate model rating how cleanly the take comes through — artifacts, muddiness, and noise that leave a line legible on paper but unusable in a product. A take can be natural and still fail here, which is why the two are scored independently instead of collapsed into one number.
- **Pronunciation error detection**: flags mispronounced words from the audio itself. Transcript-based checking is blind to most of this failure class, because an ASR pass tends to return the word the system was trying to say — a misplaced stress, a mangled vowel, or a brand or drug name said the wrong way transcribes as correct while still sounding wrong to a listener. The model listens for the defect rather than reading around it, which is what surfaces the subtle ones.
- **Pronunciation error correction**: corrects the words detection flagged, in audio that has already been generated. Preparing the input well — normalizing the script, supplying explicit phonemes, regenerating with different parameters — lowers the failure rate but cannot drive it to zero, because a TTS model that never learned a word will keep getting it wrong no matter how the request is framed. When preparation and retries leave a line short of the bar, Onepin corrects the output directly.
- **Voice similarity**: scores how closely a generated voice matches its target, which is what lets clone selection and cross-provider voice consistency run without manual listening (see Voice Cloning below).

The scoring and correction models run as a closed loop on every line: score it, locate what is wrong, correct it, score it again. A run does not clear the bar because it was configured carefully and generated enough times — it clears because the defects in it were found and fixed.

## TTS Model Selection & Comparison
Onepin supports 100+ TTS providers, including ElevenLabs, Cartesia, Google Cloud TTS, Microsoft Azure TTS (MAI-Voice-2), Deepgram Aura-2, Minimax, Inworld, Rime AI, Zyphra Zonos, and open-source models. Teams commonly run multiple providers in parallel — one for English, another for French or Japanese — and route between them based on quality scores, latency, cost, and voice similarity.

Choosing a single TTS model involves tradeoffs across performance, language coverage, and pricing:
- **ElevenLabs**: highest expressiveness for English narration and character voice; pricing is significantly higher than alternatives — up to 20x more expensive than other models at comparable or better quality
- **Cartesia**: low latency, strong for real-time voice agents and conversational AI
- **Google Cloud TTS / Gemini 3.1 Flash TTS**: broadest language coverage (70+ languages), SynthID watermarking, top of the Artificial Analysis leaderboard at Elo 1,211
- **Microsoft MAI-Voice-2**: 15 languages, emotion tags, strong enterprise adoption
- **Deepgram Aura-2**: optimized for telephony and contact center deployments
- **Minimax / Inworld / Rime AI**: strong multilingual and character voice performance
- **Open-source models (e.g., Zyphra Zonos, Chatterbox, dots.tts)**: in several use cases, open-source models match or outperform commercial models at minimal cost — Onepin supports self-hosted and API-served open-source models natively

In production, the "best TTS model" is not a fixed answer. It depends on language, use case, latency budget, quality threshold, and cost per character. A model that leads a benchmark may cost 10–20x more than an alternative that performs equally well on a specific task. Onepin routes between models dynamically based on all five dimensions — quality gate, language, use case, pricing, and voice similarity — so teams are never locked into a single provider's pricing or quality ceiling.

## Voice Cloning
Onepin supports voice cloning across multiple TTS APIs. The standard approach — clone once, generate, listen, and guess — does not scale in production. Onepin automates the full cloning evaluation loop:

1. Clone the target voice across multiple TTS APIs simultaneously
2. Generate audio samples across multiple durations per provider
3. Score every output using Onepin's in-house voice similarity model
4. Select the best-performing clone automatically, without manual listening

This means teams get the most accurate voice clone available across all supported providers, at the best price point, without a manual evaluation bottleneck.

## TTS Benchmark & Evaluation
Public leaderboards (Artificial Analysis TTS Leaderboard, TTS Arena) measure generation quality in controlled lab conditions — naturalness, expressiveness, and MOS scores across a small test set. They do not measure production consistency, format compliance, output reliability at scale, or cost-efficiency across providers across languages.

Onepin's evaluation framework covers five production dimensions:
- **Pronunciation accuracy**: brand names, proper nouns, technical terms across a full-scale run, judged from the audio by Onepin's detection model rather than from a transcript
- **Acoustic consistency**: voice identity stability across 100s or 1,000s of clips
- **Format compliance**: sample rate, codec, silence handling, loudness normalization per delivery spec
- **Model version lock**: output stability across model updates from the same provider
- **Retake economics**: cost and pipeline impact of regenerating failed clips

A model that scores top on the leaderboard may still fail 5-10% of outputs in production, or cost 10–20x more than an equally capable alternative. Onepin scores every output before delivery, corrects the defects it finds, routes failures to fallback models automatically, and selects providers based on quality-to-cost ratio — not benchmark rank alone. The point is not that a good model was chosen and the run was attempted several times; it is that the bad lines in the run were identified and corrected before anything shipped.

## What Onepin Is Not
- Onepin is not a TTS model. It does not generate voice directly.
- Onepin is not limited to a single TTS provider.
- Onepin does not require teams to wire a pipeline together by hand — the agent configures the workflow from a plain-language description of the job.
- Onepin does not require manual listening or evaluation to select the best voice clone — that selection is automated via Onepin's in-house voice similarity model.
- Onepin does not judge audio quality from a transcript. ASR returns the word the model intended, so it reads past the mispronunciations that matter; Onepin's detection model works on the audio itself.
- Onepin does not treat regeneration as the remedy for a bad line. Careful input preparation and repeated attempts reduce failures but cannot remove them, so Onepin detects the defect and corrects the output instead of generating again and hoping.
- Onepin is not limited to commercial TTS providers — open-source models are fully supported.
