Murf AI Launches Falcon, the Text-to-Speech API That Outperforms ElevenLabs with 55ms Model Latency Across 35+ Languages

The World’s Fastest and Most Efficient Text-to-Speech API

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Murf AI, a trusted leader in ethical, enterprise-grade voice solutions, today announced the launch of Murf Falcon, the world’s fastest and most efficient text-to-speech API. Murf Falcon empowers developers, startups, and enterprises to build seamless, high-performance voice agents without compromise. Featuring an ultra-low model latency of 55ms, support for 35+ languages, data residency across 11 regions and performance that outpaces ElevenLabs, Deepgram, and Cartesia in production environments, Falcon sets a new benchmark for Text-to-Speech API.

“Developers often face trade-offs between responsiveness, naturalness, and cost when working with low-latency text-to-speech systems,” said Ankur Edkie, Co-founder and CEO of Murf AI. “With Murf Falcon, those tradeoffs are gone. Falcon was designed with a lightweight architecture, custom-built for voice agents. It uses a compute-efficient proprietary neural architecture that outperforms much larger systems in context awareness, while delivering the speed benefits of a smaller model. It is ultra-fast, precise and efficient.”

Murf Falcon outperforms other text-to-speech models on:

• Latency: Delivering ultra-low 55ms model latency and the fastest time-to-first-audio of 130ms across multiple geographies, Falcon shatters previous benchmarks by leveraging edge deployment across 11 geographic regions, significantly reducing network hop times.
• Extensive Multilingual Support: With 35+ languages powered by Murf’s proprietary MultiNative Technology, Falcon beats alternative streaming text-to-speech APIs from ElevenLabs and Deepgram on language coverage.
• MultiNative Technology: Murf Falcon offers best-in-class code-mixing capabilities, seamlessly speaking multiple languages in a single sentence for highly natural and realistic interactions.
• Voice Quality: Falcon voices outperform other models on voice quality metrics. With conversational prosody that handles disfluencies effortlessly, and 99.38% pronunciation accuracy, they deliver natural, precise speech.
• Cost Efficiency: Priced at 1 cent/ minute, Murf Falcon is the most cost-efficient TTS API with no trade-off on latency or quality.
• Enterprise-Ready Deployment: Offers data residency in 11 geographic regions, with cloud and on-premise deployment for global compliance.

From global e-commerce platforms enhancing multilingual customer interactions to healthcare providers scaling patient-facing virtual assistants, Murf Falcon’s text-to-speech API powers streaming, natural-sounding voice output that’s faster, smarter, and more reliable. It’s a text-to-speech API you can trust, backed by Murf AI’s commitment to data privacy, transparency, and ethical AI.
