## The brief

Google introduced Gemini 3.8 Flash TTS for detailed voice direction and Flash-Lite TTS for higher-volume speech generation. Both are rolling out through the Gemini API and AI Studio, while enterprise API access is described as coming later. Voice replication requires a matching consent recording and has regional restrictions; Google says generated audio carries SynthID watermarks. Voice remixing remains a forthcoming feature.
