+## Batch synthesis latency and best practices
+
+When using batch synthesis for generating synthesized speech, it's important to consider the latency involved and follow best practices for achieving optimal results.
+
+### Latency in batch synthesis
+
+The latency in batch synthesis depends on various factors, including the complexity of the input text, the number of inputs in the batch, and the processing capabilities of the underlying hardware.
+
+The latency for batch synthesis is as follows (approximately):
+
+- The latency of 50% of the synthesized speech outputs is within 10-20 seconds.
+
+- The latency of 95% of the synthesized speech outputs is within 120 seconds.
+
+### Best practices
+
+When considering batch synthesis for your application, it's recommended to assess whether the latency meets your requirements. If the latency aligns with your desired performance, batch synthesis can be a suitable choice. However, if the latency does not meet your needs, you might consider using real-time API.
