# deAPI Audio

Text-to-speech, voice cloning, voice design, and audio transcription via deAPI decentralized GPU network.

Scripts

| Script | Use when... |

|--------|-------------|

| `scripts/text-to-speech.sh` | User wants to convert text to spoken audio |

| `scripts/voice-clone.sh` | User wants to clone/replicate a voice from a sample audio file |

| `scripts/voice-design.sh` | User wants to generate speech with a voice described in natural language |

| `scripts/speech-to-text.sh` | User wants to transcribe an audio file (AAC, MP3, OGG, WAV, WebM, FLAC, max 10MB) |

Your config

! cat ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/config.json 2>/dev/null || echo "NOT_CONFIGURED"

If the config above is NOT_CONFIGURED, ask the user:

Then write the answer to ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/config.json as `{ "api_key": "their_key" }`.

Alternatively, the user can set the `DEAPI_API_KEY` environment variable directly, which takes priority over config.json.
