# Chatterbox · Text to Speech · Multilingual API

> Meertalige text-to-speech voor 23 talen, beperkt tot 300 tekens per request

Synthetiseert spraak in veel talen, waaronder Engels, Frans, Duits, Spaans, Hindi, Arabisch, Chinees, Japans en Koreaans. De tekst is beperkt tot 300 tekens. `voice` stelt de taal in, of gebruik een aangepaste audio-URL samen met `custom_audio_language`. `exaggeration` loopt van 0.25 tot 2 en `cfg_scale` kan op 0 worden ingesteld voor language transfer om overdracht van het accent te verminderen.

- Price: $0.025 / 1000 characters (cheapest run $0.025 (25 API credits))
- Run: `POST https://api.doitong.com/v1/run/chatterbox/text-to-speech/multilingual`

## Pricing

Price: **$0.025 / 1000 characters**. Billed per character of `text` (the price is per 1000 characters).

The full example input below costs $0.002 = 2 API credits (50 characters × 25 API credits / 1000 characters).

Prices are the upstream price in USD, paid from the API balance in API credits (1000 API credits = 1 USD). `POST https://api.doitong.com/v1/quote/chatterbox/text-to-speech/multilingual` with the same JSON body returns the exact price for that input; the quote is exactly what a run charges. Invalid input is never charged and failed or canceled requests are refunded automatically.

## Input parameters

| Parameter | Canonical name | Type | Required | Default | Allowed values / range | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `text` |  | string | yes |  | ≤ 300 characters | Tekst voor spraaksynthese, beperkt tot 300 tekens en met ondersteuning voor 23 talen. Beschikbare talen zijn onder andere Engels en Frans; Duits, Spaans, Italiaans en Portugees; Hindi en Arabisch; Chinees, Japans en Koreaans. |
| `voice` |  | string | no | `english` |  | Taalcode voor synthese; voor aangepast gebruik zijn zowel een audio-URL als een selectie voor custom_audio_language vereist. |
| `custom_audio_language` |  | enum (string) \| null | no |  | `english`, `arabic`, `danish`, `german`, `greek`, `spanish`, `finnish`, `french`, `hebrew`, `hindi`, `italian`, `japanese`, `korean`, `malay`, `dutch`, `norwegian`, `polish`, `portuguese`, `russian`, `swedish`, `swahili`, `turkish`, `chinese` | Taalinstelling die alleen geldt wanneer de stem als aangepaste URL wordt aangeleverd; anders wordt deze genegeerd. Geef de taal op die in die aangepaste audio wordt gesproken. |
| `exaggeration` |  | number | no | `0.5` | 0.25 – 2 | Spraakexpressie en emotionele intensiteit ten opzichte van de neutrale instelling 0.5. Een hogere waarde voegt expressiviteit toe binnen het bereik 0.25–2.0, hoewel extreme instellingen instabiliteit kunnen veroorzaken. |
| `temperature` |  | number | no | `0.8` | 0.05 – 2 | Pas de variatie in spraakpatronen aan door de generatiewillekeur in te stellen tussen 0.05 en 2.0; een hogere waarde produceert meer variatie. |
| `cfg_scale` |  | number | no | `0.5` | 0 – 1 | Gewicht voor generatiebegeleiding van configuratie/tempo. Voor taaloverdracht helpt 0.0 om accentovername te beperken; het volledige bereik is 0.0–1.0. |
| `seed` |  | integer \| null | no |  |  | Generatieseed met twee gedragingen: 0 selecteert een willekeurige generatie, terwijl een specifiek getal reproduceerbare uitvoer oplevert. |

## Example input

Required parameters only:

```json
{
  "text": "Hello from Doitong. This is a short test sentence."
}
```

A fuller example:

```json
{
  "text": "Hello from Doitong. This is a short test sentence."
}
```

## Run it

Set `DOITONG_API_KEY` to a key from https://doitong.com/developers/dashboard#keys. `?wait=20` returns the finished request in the same call when it is ready within 20 seconds; otherwise poll `GET /requests/{id}` (it also accepts `?wait=`), or pass `webhook_url`.

### curl

```bash
# Run the model; wait up to 20 s for the finished result in the same call
curl -X POST "https://api.doitong.com/v1/run/chatterbox/text-to-speech/multilingual?wait=20" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DOITONG_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "text": "Hello from Doitong. This is a short test sentence."
  }'

# Still "queued" or "running"? Poll with the id from the response:
curl "https://api.doitong.com/v1/requests/REQUEST_ID?wait=20" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DOITONG_API_KEY"
```

### JavaScript

```javascript
const API = "https://api.doitong.com/v1";
const headers = {
  "Authorization": "Bearer " + process.env.DOITONG_API_KEY,
  "Content-Type": "application/json",
};

// Run the model; wait up to 20 s for the finished result in the same call
let res = await fetch(API + "/run/chatterbox/text-to-speech/multilingual?wait=20", {
  method: "POST",
  headers,
  body: JSON.stringify({
    "text": "Hello from Doitong. This is a short test sentence."
  }),
});
let request = await res.json();
if (!res.ok) throw new Error(request.error.code + ": " + request.error.message);

// Not finished yet: long-poll until it is
while (request.status === "queued" || request.status === "running") {
  res = await fetch(API + "/requests/" + request.id + "?wait=20", { headers });
  request = await res.json();
}
if (request.status !== "succeeded") throw new Error(JSON.stringify(request.error));
console.log(request.outputs.map((o) => o.url), request.cost.credits + " API credits ($" + request.cost.usd + ")");
```

### Python

```python
import os
import requests

API = "https://api.doitong.com/v1"
headers = {"Authorization": "Bearer " + os.environ["DOITONG_API_KEY"]}

payload = {
    "text": "Hello from Doitong. This is a short test sentence.",
}

# Run the model; wait up to 20 s for the finished result in the same call
r = requests.post(API + "/run/chatterbox/text-to-speech/multilingual", params={"wait": 20}, json=payload, headers=headers)
request = r.json()
if not r.ok:
    raise RuntimeError(request["error"]["code"] + ": " + request["error"]["message"])

# Not finished yet: long-poll until it is
while request["status"] in ("queued", "running"):
    request = requests.get(API + "/requests/" + request["id"], params={"wait": 20}, headers=headers).json()
if request["status"] != "succeeded":
    raise RuntimeError(request["error"])
print([o["url"] for o in request["outputs"]], request["cost"]["credits"], "API credits", "$" + request["cost"]["usd"])
```

### MCP

The MCP server at `https://api.doitong.com/v1/mcp` exposes the tools `search_models`, `get_model`, `quote`, `run`, `get_request`, `cancel_request`, `list_requests`, `create_upload` and `get_account`. A `run` call for this model:

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "run",
    "arguments": {
      "model_id": "chatterbox/text-to-speech/multilingual",
      "input": {
        "text": "Hello from Doitong. This is a short test sentence."
      },
      "wait_seconds": 20
    }
  }
}
```

## Response

Every call returns a request object. `status` is one of `queued`, `running`, `succeeded`, `failed`, `canceled`. `outputs` lists the generated files with URLs on our storage (kept forever, or 7 days with `?storage=temporary`; `storage` says which); `output` is the model's own result object with the same URLs.
