# Model Studio Qwen TTS

## Validation

```bash
mkdir -p output/alicloud-ai-audio-tts
python -m py_compile skills/ai/audio/alicloud-ai-audio-tts/scripts/generate_tts.py && echo "py_compile_ok" > output/alicloud-ai-audio-tts/validate.txt
```

Pass criteria: command exits 0 and `output/alicloud-ai-audio-tts/validate.txt` is generated.

## Output And Evidence

- Save generated audio links, sample audio files, and request payloads to `output/alicloud-ai-audio-tts/`.
- Keep one validation log per execution.

## Critical model names

Use one of the recommended models:
- `qwen3-tts-flash`
- `qwen3-tts-instruct-flash`
- `qwen3-tts-instruct-flash-2026-01-26`

## Prerequisites

- Install SDK (recommended in a venv to avoid PEP 668 limits):

```bash
python3 -m venv .venv
. .venv/bin/activate
python -m pip install dashscope
```
- Set `DASHSCOPE_API_KEY` in your environment, or add `dashscope_api_key` to `~/.alibabacloud/credentials` (env takes precedence).

## Normalized interface (tts.generate)

### Request
- `text` (string, required)
- `voice` (string, required)
- `language_type` (string, optional; default `Auto`)
- `instruction` (string, optional; recommended for instruct models)
- `stream` (bool, optional; default false)

### Response
- `audio_url` (string, when stream=false)
- `audio_base64_pcm` (string, when stream=true)
- `sample_rate` (int, 24000)
- `format` (string, wav or pcm depending on mode)

## Quick start (Python + DashScope SDK)

```python
import os
import dashscope

# Prefer env var for auth: export DASHSCOPE_API_KEY=...
# Or use ~/.alibabacloud/credentials with dashscope_api_key under [default].
# Beijing region; for Singapore use: https://dashscope-intl.aliyuncs.com/api/v1
dashscope.base_http_api_url = "https://dashscope.aliyuncs.com/api/v1"

text = "Hello, this is a short voice line."
response = dashscope.MultiModalConversation.call(
    model="qwen3-tts-instruct-flash",
    api_key=os.getenv("DASHSCOPE_API_KEY"),
    text=text,
    voice...
