Skill that generates spoken audio from text using OpenAI's text-to-speech API.
About
This skill wraps OpenAI's text-to-speech API to generate spoken audio from text with built-in voice options. Developers use it to produce narrated explainers, lecture audio, and quick voiceover tracks without managing voice synthesis infrastructure. The skill integrates into agent workflows via trigger phrases (openai speech, tts openai, narrated audio, voice over) and can be invoked directly by name. Installation requires accessing the upstream OpenAI skills repository and adding the bundle to an agent's skills directory.
