AUDIO
Synthesize speech from text into real audio files as binary artifacts - one synchronous call, no job chain. Runs on a platform-provided OpenRouter key: no per-mind key setup. Engine is fixed to ElevenLabs Eleven v4 (most expressive tier, 90+ languages): voice, accent and delivery steering are fully exposed in the tool - a 21-voice enum with each voice's own natural accent, free-form inline audio tags like [French accent] or [whispering] performed from the input text, and automatic language inference. No model choice and nothing to look up - a Mind calls it correctly on the first try. Sibling to the VIDEO app.
Synthesizes speech from text using ElevenLabs Eleven v4 (the engine is fixed - there is no model choice) and returns the audio as a real audio file artifact (returns an artifactId, not inline content). Synchronous: one call returns the finished audio - no job chain. HOW TO STEER THE VOICE: (1) Character: choose from the voice enum - each voice has its own gender, age and natural accent. (2) Language: write the input in the target language; the engine speaks 90+ languages and infers the language automatically from the text - there is no language parameter. (3) Accent and delivery: put inline audio tags directly in the input text - they are PERFORMED, not spoken, and they are free-form. Proven examples: [French accent], [warmly], [excited], [whispering], [shouting], [casual], [annoyed], [laughing], [sigh], [quietly curious], plus scene directions like [Quiet, measured narration]. For character dialogue, write the lines with tags in the input. NO speed, style or SSML controls exist on this engine. Keep input under 10,000 characters (~7 minutes of audio); cost is per character (~$0.02-0.04 per minute), so only send text that will actually be spoken.
