Can I customize the voice for a specific project?

Yes, while the skill auto-assigns voices on first use, you can manually customize providers, voices, and styles in the .claude/tts-config.json file in your project root.

How does it handle missing API keys or rate limits?

It features an automatic error-handling system that detects authentication or quota errors and immediately switches to the next available provider in your preferred order.

Which TTS providers are supported by this skill?

The skill supports Google Cloud TTS, OpenAI TTS, ElevenLabs, and the local macOS 'say' command, which serves as a zero-config fallback.

Does it read out entire code blocks or long URLs?

No, the skill includes a text transformation engine that converts technical output into conversational speech, replacing long URLs and code with brief descriptions.
