 "title": "Generate a voiceover with word timestamps from a script",
 "page_title": "How to generate a voiceover with word timestamps from a script with Video Talkcraft",
 "summary": "Use Fish Audio to produce narration audio and timing data from a JSON sentence list.",
 "who": "A creator with no recorded voice who wants a generated narration track that already has timing data for the video build.",
 "problem": "Narration audio and matching word timing usually come from separate tools, and the timing has to be re-aligned by hand.",
 "outcome": "A WAV narration file, a timestamps JSON file, and a timing file ready for the Remotion project.",
 "steps": [
  "Install the Python dependencies with `pip install requests python-dotenv`, and make sure ffmpeg is installed.",
  "Copy `.env.example` to `.env` and set `FISH_AUDIO_API_KEY`. Optionally set `FISH_AUDIO_REFERENCE_ID` to a voice ID from your voice library.",
  "Create `script.json` with a sentences list, for example `{\"sentences\": [\"First sentence.\", \"Second sentence.\"]}`. (inferred, check the README)",
  "Run `python3 scripts/tts_fishaudio.py script.json audio/full.wav audio/timestamps.json --timing-out remotion/src/timing.json` for sentence-by-sentence mode.",
  "Listen to the audio before building, because the README says a match result does not confirm pronunciation or word-level accuracy."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Use the video-talkcraft skill from https://github.com/Vincentwei1021/video-talkcraft to generate narration audio and word timestamps from <script.json> using Fish Audio. Expected output: audio/full.wav, audio/timestamps.json, and remotion/src/timing.json. Verify that the script and the aligned text match before continuing.",
