Video Voiceover TTS Synthesizer
Turns a timestamped narration.json into per-segment TTS audio that fits each time window, plus tts_meta.json placement metadata.

What it does
- Reads
narration.json(each entry withstart,end,narration) and synthesizes one WAV per segment. - Dynamically adapts speaking rate and loudness so each clip fits its output-timeline window.
- Produces
tts_segments/*.wavandtts_meta.jsonwith engine info, audio paths, timings,pause_after_ms, and partial/failure records. - Supports MiMo TTS (default
mimo-v2.5-tts), Fish Audio (s2.1-pro-free), or an explicitly selected self-hosted IndexTTS endpoint. - Strict cache rules: reuses a segment only when text, TTS settings, and WAV size/mtime all match, so edits regenerate only affected segments.
--preserve-approved-textblocks silent truncation of approved scripts and fails with per-segment evidence instead.
Who it's for
- Recap/commentary video creators automating narration in a scripted pipeline.
- Teams that already hold MiMo or Fish Audio API keys.
- Dubbing workflows needing deterministic lint/review gates before voice cloning.
Examples
python3 scripts/voiceover.py --work-dir work --narration work/narration.jsonto batch-generate all narration clips.- Set
TTS_PROVIDER=fish-audiowithFISH_API_KEYto fall back to Fish Audio voices when no MiMo key exists. - Run a locked, approved script with
--preserve-approved-textso overlong lines fail loudly with timing evidence rather than being auto-shortened.

↓ If it works for you, download the ZIP below and install it. Then it runs on its own — no pasting each time.
Install in the Claude app (no terminal)
- Download the ZIP with the button below.
- In Claude, open Settings → Capabilities and turn on 'Code execution and file creation'. (one time)
- Go to Customize → Skills → + → 'Upload a skill' and upload the ZIP.
Install in Claude Code
Let Claude do it — paste this into Claude Code
Install the skill I found on Claude Skill Mart. Copy the skills/video-voiceover folder from the GitHub repo zenstory-ai/video-recap-skills into my ~/.claude/skills/video-voiceover/. When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.
Install with a command instead
git clone https://github.com/zenstory-ai/video-recap-skills.git && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r video-recap-skills/skills/video-voiceover ~/.claude/skills/⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.
- Open a terminal in your working directory.
- Clone the repo:
git clone https://github.com/zenstory-ai/video-recap-skills.git - Create the skills folder:
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills - Copy the skill:
cp -r video-recap-skills/skills/video-voiceover ~/.claude/skills/ - Make sure Python 3 and audio tooling (e.g. ffmpeg) are installed.
- Export your provider credentials:
export MIMO_API_KEY=...orexport TTS_PROVIDER=fish-audio; export FISH_API_KEY=... - Restart Claude Code and ask it to "generate voiceover from this narration.json" to trigger the skill.
