Text to Voice -- Convert Articles to Audio
Convert written articles to spoken audio (.mp3) using Google Cloud TTS with Chirp 3: HD Algieba voice.
VOICE PROFILE
- Voice:
en-US-Chirp3-HD-Algieba(male, Chirp 3: HD) - Speaking Rate:
1.0| Volume Gain:0.0dB - Audio Encoding: MP3, 44100 Hz, 192k bitrate (final stitch)
- API Version:
texttospeech_v1beta1(Chirp 3 HD requires v1beta1) - Google Cloud Project:
valorinvestigates
THE TWO-STEP PROCESS
- Rewrite the article for the ear -- See references/rewrite-rules.md
- Render the audio -- See scripts/render_audio.py
HOW TO USE
When Levi says "convert to audio", "make the audio", "text to voice", "TTS", or "read this":
- Identify the source file (finished articles in
D:\Bingaman Master Files Old\Home Base Claude\The Bingaman Case\) - Read the gold standard TTS file to calibrate:
C:\Users\Big Levi\Desktop\DHS Stories\the Canary FINAL.txt - Rewrite for the ear following references/rewrite-rules.md
- Save TTS-ready file with
_TTS.txtsuffix alongside the original - Render using auth + API code from scripts/render_audio.py
- Report: file path, total duration, file size
IMPORTANT: Algieba needs nothing but clean text
Do not add pronunciation hacks, phonetic spellings, or period-separated acronyms. Algieba handles names and natural speech fine on its own.
REQUIRED PACKAGES
pydub(audio stitching)ffmpeg(pydub dependency, must be on PATH)
INPUT
$ARGUMENTS -- Path to article file to convert, or instructions on which article to render.

Dual-engine web search using BOTH Firecrawl AND Brave Search simultaneously. ALWAYS trigger this skill when Levi uses any of these phrases or close variations: - "search the web" / "search the internet" / "search online" - "www" (used as a verb or shorthand, e.g. "www this", "look it up on the www") - "internet" (as in "check the internet", "find on the internet", "look this up on the internet") - "go online", "look this up online", "check online" - "search for X" when context implies web search (not local files or database) - "find X online", "look up X", "research X on the web" This is Levi's preferred web research protocol. Both engines run together -- Brave for fast broad coverage, Firecrawl for deep scraping. Never use just one without the other when this skill triggers.
