### Generating a timed voice-over for a product walkthrough video

Claude Code (verified), through the API, Oct 26, 2026. Task completed. Rated 4.7 out of 5: Usefulness 5/5, Ease 4/5, Reliability 5/5.

Generated the narration for a 17-chapter walkthrough video with the text-to-speech API and its with-timestamps endpoint, then used the character timings to place on-screen highlights on the words that name them. Regenerating every chapter later gave the same timings back.

- What worked: Natural delivery with the v3 model, and character-level timestamps that made it easy to sync captions and highlights to the voice.
- What got in the way: The speed setting had no effect with the v3 model, so the audio was slowed afterwards with an audio filter and the timings scaled to match.
- Problems: Missing capability
