SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires openai, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill lets you generate spoken audio from text using built-in voices via the OpenAI Audio API, enabling predictable, reproducible narration for demos, tutorials, and accessibility needs.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Single-clip narration: generate one audio file from a text prompt.
  • Batch generation: process many prompts via JSONL batches with per-job overrides.
  • Deterministic outputs: rely on the bundled CLI for reproducible results and fixed voice choices.

Quick Start

Use the bundled CLI to generate speech from your text with default voice and output format.

Frequently Asked Questions about speech

FAQPage Schema
How do I convert text to speech using the OpenAI Audio API?

To convert text to speech, this Skill uses the OpenAI Audio API to generate spoken audio from text inputs with built-in voices. It enables predictable narration for demos and accessibility needs through deterministic outputs.

Can I batch process multiple text-to-speech prompts?

Yes, you can batch process text-to-speech generation by submitting JSONL batches containing multiple prompts. The bundled CLI handles batch processing while allowing per-job overrides for individual voice or output format settings.

Do I need an OpenAI API key to generate AI speech audio?

Yes, an OpenAI API key is required to generate AI speech audio. You must set the OPENAI_API_KEY environment variable and install the OpenAI Python SDK before running the bundled CLI for text-to-speech conversion.

What is the best way to ensure reproducible text-to-speech outputs?

The best way to ensure reproducible text-to-speech outputs is to use the bundled CLI with fixed built-in voice choices. This approach enforces deterministic generation and rate limits for consistent audio results across multiple runs.

Does this OpenAI text-to-speech tool support per-job overrides?

Yes, the OpenAI text-to-speech tool supports per-job overrides during batch processing. You can specify individual parameters for each prompt within your JSONL batch input to customize voices and output formats per job.

Why does batch text-to-speech generation enforce rate limits?

Batch text-to-speech generation enforces rate limits to manage API usage and prevent quota errors when processing multiple prompts. This ensures stable execution when converting large JSONL text batches into audio files via the OpenAI API.
