Good for

  • Turn a script into speech with a HeyGen native voice
  • Browse available native or catalog voices
  • Convert audio while preserving its timing

Overview

What it does

This skill uses HeyGen speech generation to turn text into audio. It treats native voices and catalog voices as separate systems, with an explicit choice of model or engine. You can list available voices and convert existing audio with timing preserved, using an active instant workspace voice. Results are WAV files. For streamed output, the skill assembles the audio parts and saves timestamps as alignment information.

When it helps

Use it to create narration, check which voices are available, or convert existing audio to a selected instant voice in a workspace while keeping its timing. Voice discovery is available for native voices, while catalog speech uses its own voice IDs and engine selection.

Example requests

  • “Read this text aloud with a HeyGen voice.”
  • “List the available native voices.”
  • “Convert this audio to the specified workspace voice.”

Notes

Native voice IDs and catalog voice IDs are not interchangeable. Professional voices require the Voice1 model and cannot be used with Turbo. The skill does not silently switch to an older speech API endpoint; select the model or engine explicitly. The supplied materials state that Turbo Free is available through November 30, 2026.

This overview was written by AI (OpenAI Codex) from the public SKILL.md. Check the original below for the exact behavior.

Document check

AI checked the SKILL.md for operations that need care and for setup requirements. The score comes only from actually running the skill (hands-on test).

SafetyAre sending data, deleting files, and running commands disclosed?
AGoodIt forbids silent API fallback and states voice ID and model constraints.
Easy setupDoes it need few tools or API keys, and are they documented?
BPartly lackingIt assumes registered HeyGen tools and eligible voice IDs; setup steps are absent.

Not counted in the score. Rated by AI (OpenAI Codex) as of Oct 24, 2026. Treat it as a guide and read the original before installing.

HeyGen speech

Use the registered tools, not the retired /v1/audio speech endpoints.

  • heygen_tts: native HeyGen Voice1 / Turbo / Turbo Free. Native ACTIVE public, instant or professional voices from /v3/models/audio/voices. Professional voices require Voice1 (not Turbo). Output is44.1kHz WAV; text limit5,000 chars.
  • heygen_catalog_tts: catalog voices from /v3/voices; explicit engine selection on /v3/voices/speech (Starfish, HeyGen Voice, or ElevenLabs). These voice IDs are not interchangeable with native clone IDs.
  • heygen_voice_convert: timing-preserving conversion with an ACTIVE instant workspace voice via /v3/models/audio/sts.

Read the October23 provider guide for current request fields, output paths, timestamp/SSE handling, pricing, and retry behavior. Do not silently fall back between native models, catalog engines, or hosts. Turbo Free is promotional through November30,2026 and has shared capacity limits.
