Welcome to the Vox platform! This guide will help you generate your first hyper-realistic audio using the Vox API.
Prerequisites
Sign Up & Get API Key
- Visit tts.timepay.ai and sign up for an account.
- Navigate to the API Keys tab.
- Create a new API Key and copy it immediately.
Set Environment Variable
It is best practice to keep your key secure. Export it in your terminal:export TIMEPAY_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"
Generate Speech
Since Vox is designed for flexibility, you can interact with the API using any standard HTTP client.
Note on Streaming: The endpoint streams audio data in chunks to ensure ultra-low latency. The examples below demonstrate how to capture this stream and save it to a file.
curl -X POST "https://api.tts.timepay.ai/api/v1/get_speech" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY_HERE" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"text": "Hello world! This is Vox speaking.",
"voice_id": "khvTFYgvagfvagvfuavdf",
"language": "en",
"addWavHeader": true,
"speed":1.0,
"sample_rate": 24000
}' \
--output output.wav
