  title: Listnr Text-to-Speech API
  description: >-
    The Listnr Text-to-Speech API converts SSML text or an article URL into
    MP3/WAV speech using Listnr's catalog of 1,000+ AI voices across 142+
    languages. Conversion can be synchronous (returns an audio URL directly) or
    asynchronous (returns a jobId that is polled for status). The API also lists
    available voices and reports async job status. All requests are authenticated
    with a personal API key generated in the Listnr dashboard
    (voices.listnr.tech) and passed in an x-listnr-token header. Never expose the
    API key in front-end code or the browser. Endpoints and parameters in this
    document are transcribed from Listnr's public API documentation at
    github.com/team-listnr/text-to-speech-api; request/response schemas are
    modeled from that documentation and should be verified against the live API.
