What Vidu documents about speech
Vidu (platform.vidu.com) documents native audio on Q3 covering speech, sound effects and music, switched on by default in the API, with a mode that returns speech alone. From 1 source page, read 2026-09-12; no maker pays to be listed.
| Field | What the vendor documents |
|---|---|
| Audio source | Q3 generates speech, effects and music natively, on by default |
| Languages | Not documented |
| Voice source | Not documented |
| Per-character binding | Not documented |
| Lip-sync | Not documented |
Inclusion rule. Fields are the same five for every model here; a field the vendor does not document is recorded as not documented rather than inferred from generated output. Order. Fixed field order, identical on every model page.
1A default that decides what most output sounds like
Audio being on by default is a small sentence with a large effect. Every call made without reading the parameter list returns a clip with sound, which means the baseline output of this model is a finished soundscape rather than a silent picture waiting for post. A team measuring the model against a silent competitor is not comparing like with like.
The speech-only mode is the counterpart and the more useful one for drama: it separates the line from the effects and music, so dialogue can be kept while the bed is replaced. No other model in this register documents that separation.

2Everything about the voice itself is unstated
Four of the five fields this register keeps are empty here. No language list or count, no statement about where a voice comes from, no way described to hold a voice to a character, and nothing on lip-sync. The API reference describes what is produced and not who is speaking.
For a single clip that is enough. For a series it leaves the central question open, because a cast that is re-drawn on every call is not a cast. This site records the gap rather than filling it from listening tests, which would be an opinion about output rather than a published fact.
3This entry, one column at a time
Each of these stays inside a single field: what Vidu puts there, what the wording settles, and what it leaves for a take to answer.
- Audio source — with the picture, speech available on its own.
4Read against another entry
Each of these puts Vidu beside one other entry on a column where the two land at opposite grades of answer.
- Vidu and sync-3 — on audio source.
- LTX Studio and Vidu — on per-character binding.
5Where this model sits against the rest
| Model | Audio source |
|---|---|
| D-ID | A text script read aloud, or an audio url supplied |
| HeyGen | A text to speech endpoint, apart from the picture |
| Kling AI | Generated with the picture, VIDEO 3.0 |
| LTX Studio | Generated jointly with the picture, plus audio-to-video |
| Luma Ray | Not documented; the video reference does not mention sound |
| MiniMax | Native speech, generated with the picture |
| PixVerse | Uploaded audio, or text read by a chosen voice; the two are not mixed |
| Runway | Not documented where voices are defined |
| SceneMixer | Generated with the picture, in the language set for the project |
| Sora 2 | Generated with the picture; video and audio are both listed as output |
| sync-3 | Supplied, or read from text on the call |
| Synthesia | Synthesised from the script, or an uploaded recording |
| Veo | Generated with the video rather than added afterwards |
| Vidu | Q3 generates speech, effects and music natively, on by default |
| Wan 3.0 | On by default; false returns a file with no audio track |
| Wan2.2-S2V | Supplied; the card describes the model as audio-driven |
Inclusion rule. Models whose vendor documents something about generated speech. A model with nothing published on the point is still listed, with the cell marked hollow. Order. Alphabetical by model name.
