🚨 The first domain-specific TTS leaderboards are live. Today we're releasing Banking, Insurance, and Home Services leaderboards on VoiceArena US English - the first standing TTS benchmarks anywhere that rank models on the exact phrasing they'll be deployed to handle in production. Every other public TTS leaderboard pools all use cases into one score. A model that wins overall can still be the worst on a fraud alert or a claim filing. Three leaderboards live. Many more coming. 🧵👇
