What it does

This skill leverages the OpenAI Audio API to convert written text into spoken audio. It can generate realistic-sounding voices for various applications like narrations, voiceovers, and accessibility reads. The included command-line interface (CLI) allows for both individual speech generation and batch processing of multiple text inputs.

When to use it

• Accessibility: Provide audible versions of written content for users with visual impairments or reading difficulties.
• Voiceover Creation: Generate voiceovers for videos, presentations, or e-learning materials.
• Audio Prompts: Create audio prompts for interactive applications or virtual assistants.
• Batch Audio Generation: Quickly convert a list of text snippets into corresponding audio files for various purposes.

Key capabilities

• Text-to-speech conversion using the OpenAI Audio API.
• Bundled CLI tool (scripts/text_to_speech) for easy use.
• Supports batch processing of multiple text inputs.
• Generates realistic-sounding speech.

Example prompts

• "Generate audio from this sentence: 'The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.'"
• "Create a voiceover for this paragraph about climate change."
• "Convert these five product descriptions into audio files and save them as .mp3s."

Tips & gotchas

• Ensure you have an OpenAI API key configured to utilize this skill. The quality of the generated speech depends on the selected voice and parameters available through the OpenAI Audio API.
