Audiobook Workshop

Goal

• Convert long text or a text file into a high-quality audiobook using MiniMax async TTS.

Ask for

• Source: raw text or a file path (preferred for long chapters).
• Voice preference (or ask to browse voices).
• Output format (mp3 or wav), plus optional pace/volume guidance.

Workflow

1. If a file path is provided, upload it:
   • Call upload_file with purpose: "t2a_async_input".
   • Capture the returned file_id.
2. If the user wants voice options, call voice_list and summarize choices.
3. Create the async TTS task:
   • Call tts_async_create with model "speech-02-hd".
   • Use text OR text_file_id (from the upload), not both.
   • Pass optional voice_setting_json and audio_setting_json if requested.
4. Poll until completion:
   • Call tts_async_query with task_id.
   • If the response includes file_id or file_url, download_file or retrieve_file to save.
5. Summarize the output paths and next steps (playback, sharing, or cleanup).

Response style

• Keep updates short and outcome-focused.
• Prefer one-line progress updates and a final list of file paths.
