What problem does it solve? Producing natural-sounding Mandarin voiceovers with accurate subtitle timing usually requires manual recording and caption alignment. This Skill generates speech audio via the Volcengine Doubao Speech 2.0 API and returns character-level timestamp metadata for building subtitles directly. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Mandarin and Multilingual TTS: Calls the Doubao Speech 2.0 async submit/query endpoints to produce narration audio with configurable voice, speech rate, and sample rate. - Timestamp Metadata for Subtitles: Returns sentences[].words[] timing data saved as JSON, enabling precise caption generation without estimating text length. - Sample-First Workflow: Guides generating a short approval sample before committing to a full paid narration, with troubleshooting for auth, quota, and voice permission errors. - Use Case: You are producing a Chinese explainer video. Generate a 10-second sample voiceover for approval, then render the full narration and build subtitles from the returned word-level timestamps. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to generate a Mandarin narration of your script using the Doubao TTS provider with timestamps enabled and save the audio to your project's assets folder.
