Operator synthesizes an alert: POST https://api.deepgram.com/v1/speak?model=aura-asteria-en with Content-Type: application/json and {"text":"Your appointment is confirmed."}.

Send JSON body with {"text":...}. Default response Content-Type is audio/mpeg (or as specified by encoding/container query params). Read body as binary; do not parse as JSON. Add Authorization: Token <key>.

Operator picks model=aura-asteria-en for a US-English customer-service bot but also wants aura-luna-en for a different segment.

Pick the exact Aura voice id (e.g., aura-asteria-en, aura-luna-en, aura-stella-en). Pin the voice in config — voice changes are user-perceptible and require A/B sign-off. Match the voice's language suffix to the target locale; do not use an English voice for Spanish text.

03

Twilio Programmable Voice expects 8 kHz mulaw frames. Operator requests encoding=mulaw&sample_rate=8000 on /v1/speak.

Set encoding=mulaw&sample_rate=8000&container=none (or as documented) for raw frames to Twilio. For browser playback, default mp3 (audio/mpeg) is fine. Verify the output Content-Type matches what your sink expects — mismatches cause static or silent playback.
