text-to-speech

name	text-to-speech
user-invocable	true
argument-hint	["text to speak"]
description	Turn text into spoken audio on TITLES (titles.xyz) — narration, voiceover, TTS. Use when the user says: "text to speech", "read this aloud", "voiceover for X", "narrate this", "TTS", "make this a voice clip", "say this in a voice". Speaks the text verbatim; optional voice, language, and speed. Returns an audio track on the canvas plus a downloadable file. Runs on the TITLES MCP — if TITLES tools are missing, connect mcp.titles.xyz/mcp first (see titles-setup). NOT for: music or singing (generate-music), or adding sound to a video clip (generate-video / animate-image with audio).

text-to-speech

Literal text → spoken audio.

Get connected

Check the tool list for TITLES tools (names contain titles_). If missing, hand off to the titles-setup skill and stop — never fall back to a non-TITLES tool.

Speak

The text is spoken verbatim, so pass exactly what the user wants said — given a description instead of a script, draft the wording and confirm it before spending (they're paying to hear their words, not your paraphrase). If they want a particular voice or delivery, match a voice model with titles_search_models({ operator: "txt2SpeechNode" }) and pass its model_id; otherwise the one call titles_generate_speech lets the server pick a default voice.

You can't hear the result — hand over the listen link and let the user judge.

The connected server is authoritative for everything else — exact inputs, model resolution, cost approval (price_confirmation_required → max_price_usd), session/canvas handling, sourcing output_ids, and bringing outside images in (titles_create_upload) all follow the tool's own description and the server instructions, not anything memorized here. titles_help has the current catalog.

Deliver the file

Besides the session_url the server points you at, hand over the actual file via titles_download_asset — host-adaptive: on a shell host (Claude Code / Codex) curl it to disk and give the path; on a chat host (claude.ai / mobile) give the short-lived link to click, re-fetching cheaply if it expires.
