Seed Audio 1.0 is a text-to-audio model from Bytedance that turns written prompts into clear, natural-sounding speech and spoken audio. In a text-to-audio workflow on RunComfy, you type what you want voiced and optionally guide the delivery with a preset voice, reference clips, or a single image. It is built for creators who want prompt-driven audio without recording sessions.
Seed Audio 1.0 works well for voiceover, narration, character lines, audio drama snippets, and multilingual reads. The preset voices and delivery controls let you steer pacing, loudness, and pitch to match a scene or brand. Because Seed Audio 1.0 accepts reference audio, it is also useful when you need a consistent target delivery across multiple clips.
With Seed Audio 1.0 you can attach up to three reference clips and cite them in the prompt by order as @Audio1, @Audio2, and @Audio3, which lets you mix or carry a target delivery into the read. Alternatively, you can provide a single reference image to inform the tone, but image and audio references cannot be combined in the same request. Each reference clip should stay short, within about 30 seconds and 10MB, for reliable results.
Content creators, product teams, and localization studios can use Seed Audio 1.0 for explainer voiceovers, app prompts, ad reads, and dubbed audio across languages. Developers can wrap Seed Audio 1.0 into pipelines that generate spoken audio on demand from scripts or campaign copy. The mix of preset voices and reference-driven delivery covers both quick drafts and more specific character work from one interface.
Seed Audio 1.0 takes a required prompt plus optional voice, reference audio, and image inputs, and exposes speed, volume, and pitch controls. Output can be returned as wav, mp3, pcm, or ogg_opus, with sample rates from 8 kHz up to 48 kHz. Exact limits such as clip size and supported formats can vary by provider settings, so check the RunComfy parameter panel before building around them.
Yes. You can prototype Seed Audio 1.0 in the RunComfy AI Playground Web UI by adjusting the prompt, voice, references, and delivery controls until the output matches your target. Once the setup is stable, call the same Seed Audio 1.0 model through the RunComfy API with identical parameters to automate generation from your backend or content pipeline. This keeps iteration in the browser and production runs in code, without changing model behavior.
Seed Audio 1.0 generations consume usd / credits from your RunComfy balance, and based on available provider information the model is billed at $0.075 per minute of generated audio. New users typically get a free trial usd amount to experiment, after which usage follows the Generation rules shown on the model page. For current rates and any mode-specific differences, refer to the Generation section of the Seed Audio 1.0 page on RunComfy.
