About

Text To Dialogue

1. Calling the API#

Install the client#

The client provides a convenient way to interact with the model API.

npm install --save @fal-ai/client

Migrate to @fal-ai/client

The @fal-ai/serverless-client package has been deprecated in favor of @fal-ai/client. Please check the migration guide for more information.

Setup your API Key#

Set FAL_KEY as an environment variable in your runtime.

export FAL_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"

Submit a request#

The client API handles the API submit protocol. It will handle the request status updates and return the result when the request is completed.

import { fal } from "@fal-ai/client";

const result = await fal.subscribe("fal-ai/elevenlabs/text-to-dialogue/eleven-v3", {
  input: {
    inputs: [{
      text: "[applause] Thank you all for coming tonight! Today we have a very special guest with us.",
      voice: "Aria"
    }, {
      text: "[gulps] ... [strong canadian accent] [excited] Hello everyone! Thank you all for having me tonight on this special day.",
      voice: "Charlotte"
    }]
  },
  logs: true,
  onQueueUpdate: (update) => {
    if (update.status === "IN_PROGRESS") {
      update.logs.map((log) => log.message).forEach(console.log);
    }
  },
});
console.log(result.data);
console.log(result.requestId);

Streaming#

This model supports streaming requests. You can stream data directly to the model and get the result in real-time.

import { fal } from "@fal-ai/client";

const stream = await fal.stream("fal-ai/elevenlabs/text-to-dialogue/eleven-v3", {
  input: {
    inputs: [{
      text: "[applause] Thank you all for coming tonight! Today we have a very special guest with us.",
      voice: "Aria"
    }, {
      text: "[gulps] ... [strong canadian accent] [excited] Hello everyone! Thank you all for having me tonight on this special day.",
      voice: "Charlotte"
    }]
  }
});

for await (const event of stream) {
  console.log(event);
}

const result = await stream.done();

2. Authentication#

The API uses an API Key for authentication. It is recommended you set the FAL_KEY environment variable in your runtime when possible.

API Key#

In case your app is running in an environment where you cannot set environment variables, you can set the API Key manually as a client configuration.

import { fal } from "@fal-ai/client";

fal.config({
  credentials: "YOUR_FAL_KEY"
});

Protect your API Key

When running code on the client-side (e.g. in a browser, mobile app or GUI applications), make sure to not expose your FAL_KEY. Instead, use a server-side proxy to make requests to the API. For more information, check out our server-side integration guide.

3. Queue#

Long-running requests

For long-running requests, such as training jobs or models with slower inference times, it is recommended to check the Queue status and rely on Webhooks instead of blocking while waiting for the result.

Submit a request#

The client API provides a convenient way to submit requests to the model.

import { fal } from "@fal-ai/client";

const { request_id } = await fal.queue.submit("fal-ai/elevenlabs/text-to-dialogue/eleven-v3", {
  input: {
    inputs: [{
      text: "[applause] Thank you all for coming tonight! Today we have a very special guest with us.",
      voice: "Aria"
    }, {
      text: "[gulps] ... [strong canadian accent] [excited] Hello everyone! Thank you all for having me tonight on this special day.",
      voice: "Charlotte"
    }]
  },
  webhookUrl: "https://optional.webhook.url/for/results",
});

Fetch request status#

You can fetch the status of a request to check if it is completed or still in progress.

import { fal } from "@fal-ai/client";

const status = await fal.queue.status("fal-ai/elevenlabs/text-to-dialogue/eleven-v3", {
  requestId: "764cabcf-b745-4b3e-ae38-1200304cf45b",
  logs: true,
});

Get the result#

Once the request is completed, you can fetch the result. See the Output Schema for the expected result format.

import { fal } from "@fal-ai/client";

const result = await fal.queue.result("fal-ai/elevenlabs/text-to-dialogue/eleven-v3", {
  requestId: "764cabcf-b745-4b3e-ae38-1200304cf45b"
});
console.log(result.data);
console.log(result.requestId);

4. Files#

Some attributes in the API accept file URLs as input. Whenever that's the case you can pass your own URL or a Base64 data URI.

Data URI (base64)#

You can pass a Base64 data URI as a file input. The API will handle the file decoding for you. Keep in mind that for large files, this alternative although convenient can impact the request performance.

Hosted files (URL)#

You can also pass your own URLs as long as they are publicly accessible. Be aware that some hosts might block cross-site requests, rate-limit, or consider the request as a bot.

Uploading files#

We provide a convenient file storage that allows you to upload files and use them in your requests. You can upload files using the client API and use the returned URL in your requests.

import { fal } from "@fal-ai/client";

const file = new File(["Hello, World!"], "hello.txt", { type: "text/plain" });
const url = await fal.storage.upload(file);

Auto uploads

The client will auto-upload the file for you if you pass a binary object (e.g. File, Data).

Read more about file handling in our file upload guide.

5. Schema#

Input#

inputs list<DialogueBlock>* required

A list of dialogue inputs, each containing text and a voice ID which will be converted into speech.

stability float

Determines how stable the voice is and the randomness between each generation. Lower values introduce broader emotional range for the voice. Higher values can result in a monotonous voice with limited emotion.

use_speaker_boost boolean

This setting boosts the similarity to the original speaker. Using this setting requires a slightly higher computational load, which in turn increases latency.

pronunciation_dictionary_locators list<PronunciationDictionaryLocator>

A list of pronunciation dictionary locators (id, version_id) to be applied to the text. They will be applied in order. You may have up to 3 locators per request

seed integer

Random seed for reproducibility.

{
  "inputs": [
    {
      "text": "[applause] Thank you all for coming tonight! Today we have a very special guest with us.",
      "voice": "Aria"
    },
    {
      "text": "[gulps] ... [strong canadian accent] [excited] Hello everyone! Thank you all for having me tonight on this special day.",
