# Generate Audio

Generate audio directly using the Runway API. Supports text-to-speech, sound effects, voice isolation, dubbing, and speech-to-speech voice conversion.

**IMPORTANT:** Run scripts from the user's working directory so output files are saved where the user expects.

## Usage

```bash
uv run scripts/generate_audio.py --type tts --text "Hello world" --filename "greeting.mp3" [--voice-id ID] [--api-key KEY]
```

## Preflight

1. `command -v uv` must succeed
2. `RUNWAYML_API_SECRET` must be set, or pass `--api-key`
