# Welcome to LMNT
> Our text-to-speech and voice cloning API gives you the tools to build lifelike AI experiences
At LMNT, we're building next-level speech models that are fast, affordable, and
easy-to-use. With our API, you can **create voice clones** with just 5 seconds
of audio and **generate lifelike speech** in real-time. Our goal is to help you
add that human *element* to your applications with ease.
**Ready to start building with AI?** Give your tools full context on our API to get more accurate code generation.

**In a rush and looking for traditional SDKs?** We have those too. Refer to our
REST API if you're building your application in another programming language.
**Have time?** The best way to get started is going through our [Getting
Started](/getting-started/environment-setup) guide, which will help you setup
your machine and run through some sample code examples for text-to-speech and
streaming.
For more advanced information, you can then explore our
[Guides](/guides/latency-optimizing). We have guides for optimizing latency
(helpful for building real-time applications), optimizing quality, prompting
LLMs for natural speech, and getting timestamps.
