## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability gedx402-aura-1-text-to-speech-e5bd7fce
```

Example prompt: Can you turn this text into spoken audio using the Aura-1 voice model: 'Welcome to our platform, we are glad to have you here.'

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need TTS synthesis without registering for an API key, want to pay per-call using USDC on Base, Polygon, Arbitrum, World, or Solana, or when integrating into an x402-compatible payment workflow. Prefer this over traditional TTS APIs for crypto-native or API-key-free agentic workflows using the Aura-1 model.

## Known failure modes

- Payment failure if USDC balance is insufficient or unsupported chain is used
- Empty or missing text parameter returns an error
- Invalid voice ID may fall back to default or return an error
- Network timeout on slow synthesis for long text
- Base64 output may be large for lengthy text inputs
