Voices that sound like people\, not narrators.
Rime trains on conversational speech rather than audiobook recordings\, so its voices carry the hesitations\, filler and uneven rhythm of real talking — aimed squarely at phone agents.
This matters more than it sounds: a polished narrator voice on a customer service call signals "robot" instantly\, while a slightly imperfect conversational one does not. Combined with low latency it is a deliberate fit for voice agents rather than narration.
