# Chatterbox · Text to Speech · Multilingual API

> Maandishi-hadi-usemi ya lugha nyingi yanayoshughulikia lugha 23, yakiwa na kikomo cha herufi 300 kwa ombi

Hutengeneza usemi katika lugha nyingi, zikiwemo English, French, German, Spanish, Hindi, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese na Korean. Maandishi yana kikomo cha herufi 300. `voice` huweka lugha, au URL maalum ya sauti pamoja na `custom_audio_language`. `exaggeration` ni kati ya 0.25 na 2, na `cfg_scale` inaweza kuwekwa kuwa 0 kwa uhamishaji wa lugha ili kupunguza kubaki kwa lafudhi.

## 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 | Maandishi ya usanisi wa usemi, yenye kikomo cha herufi 300 na yanayounga mkono lugha 23. Lugha zinazopatikana ni pamoja na Kiingereza na Kifaransa; Kijerumani, Kihispania, Kiitaliano na Kireno; Kihindi na Kiarabu; Kichina, Kijapani na Kikorea, miongoni mwa nyingine. |
| `voice` |  | string | no | `english` |  | Msimbo wa lugha ya usanisi; matumizi maalum yanahitaji URL ya sauti pamoja na uteuzi wa custom_audio_language. |
| `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` | Mpangilio wa lugha unaotumika tu wakati sauti imetolewa kama URL maalum; vinginevyo hupuuzwa. Bainisha lugha inayozungumzwa katika sauti hiyo maalum. |
| `exaggeration` |  | number | no | `0.5` | 0.25 – 2 | Usemi na ukali wa hisia ikilinganishwa na mpangilio wa kawaida wa 0.5. Kuongeza thamani huongeza uelezaji ndani ya kiwango cha 0.25–2.0, ingawa mipangilio iliyokithiri inaweza kusababisha kutokuwa thabiti. |
| `temperature` |  | number | no | `0.8` | 0.05 – 2 | Rekebisha utofauti wa mifumo ya usemi kwa kuweka nasibu ya uzalishaji kati ya 0.05 na 2.0; kuongeza thamani huleta utofauti zaidi. |
| `cfg_scale` |  | number | no | `0.5` | 0 – 1 | Uzito wa mwongozo wa uzalishaji kwa usanidi/ kasi. Kwa uhamishaji wa lugha, 0.0 husaidia kupunguza urithi wa lafudhi; kiwango kamili ni 0.0–1.0. |
| `seed` |  | integer \| null | no |  |  | Mbegu ya uzalishaji yenye mienendo miwili: 0 huchagua uzalishaji nasibu, huku nambari maalum ikifanya matokeo yaweze kurudiwa. |

## 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.
