SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Converting text into natural-sounding speech or transcribing audio normally requires setting up Azure Speech credentials and learning SSML configuration. This Skill lets an AI agent call Microsoft's MAI Voice models through the Pixazo API gateway with a single stored API key, handling authentication, request formatting, and error recovery automatically. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Text-to-Speech Synthesis: Generate expressive speech with MAI-Voice-2 across 47 voices and 18 locales, with SSML emotion control via style and styledegree parameters. - Speech-to-Text Transcription: Transcribe audio across 43 languages using MAI-Transcribe-1.5 through the same gateway. - Managed Authentication: Detects the Pixazo API key from environment variables or a saved file, prompting the user only once and storing it securely. - Use Case: A content creator asks the agent to read a blog post aloud in an excited tone; the agent calls the text-to-speech endpoint and returns a playable audio URL. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to convert the text "Hello from Pixazo" into speech using MAI Voice 2 with an excited style.
