Bakbak — Conversational Text-to-Speech for Indian Languages
Bakbak offers a pay-as-you-go Indic text-to-speech API for real-time voice agents, with voice samples spanning 13 languages.
Field notes
Bakbak presents text-to-speech as infrastructure for live conversations rather than long-form narration or dubbing. The homepage includes a generation demo with a 300-character counter, selectable voices, and language cards covering Indian English plus multiple Indic languages. Its examples target customer service, appointments, order tracking, agriculture, and lead qualification, while the visible pay-as-you-go rate is ₹0.39 per 1,000 characters.
