Judge this line on the year, not the last dot: visits are 25% below a year ago, and 43% below the January 2025 high. One site winning or losing a ranking can swing a single month a lot.

Most searched by name, US

Ordered by US searches for the brand name in September 2026. A measured order, not a ranking.

Rising next to the term on Google Trends: “sarvam ai text to speech”, “text to speech google ai studio” and “ai studio text to speech”.

Miles explains

Name searches are the number I trust most. They are down 23%, and nobody types a site’s name by accident, so this shows fewer people coming back on purpose.
