keryx voice gen

Description

Synthesize voice-over narration. Two modes:

  • Standalone: --text "…" narrates a single line to an mp3 (--out, default vo.mp3).
  • Take mode: --takes N --workspace <slug> generates N candidate takes for a storyboard line (--line) into the workspace, for review with voice pick.

The voice id and all clone settings default to the resolved reel theme's voice and can be overridden per-run. The full ElevenLabs knob set is exposed: --stability, --similarity, --style (expression/exaggeration; higher drifts the accent), and --speed (0.7 slow … 1.2 fast). A storyboard card may also carry a per-line voice override for any of these.

For multi-author reels, a registered voice clone (config voices.<name>) can narrate specific lines: set the card's voice.speaker to that name and it becomes the line's base voice (overriding the reel theme's voice). Register a co-author's clone as another voices entry.
