google-cloud-speech

google-cloud-speech is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from calesthio/generative-media-skills. It costs 84 tokens per session (5,311 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to Google Cloud speech services for converting audio to text and text to speech. It covers transcripts, captions, synthetic voices, live caption planning, and consented custom voices.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for transcripts, SRT or WebVTT captions, narration, educational voiceovers, IVR prompts, dialogue prototypes, and localized voice tracks.
Why use it?
It helps teams choose Google Cloud speech services while considering governance, regions, existing GCP systems, consent, and production quality checks.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

google-cloud-speech scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Google Cloud Speech for media production

Use Google Cloud Speech as a provider option when the job is fundamentally about speech audio:

  • Transcribe existing audio/video into scripts, searchable text, edits, subtitles, captions, or speaker notes.
  • Generate SRT/WebVTT captions from long media.
  • Plan live captions or real-time transcript features.
  • Create synthetic narration, dialogue prototypes, educational voiceovers, IVR-style prompts, or localized voice tracks.
  • Use Google voice families such as Chirp 3 HD, Gemini-TTS, Studio, Neural2, WaveNet, or Standard when the production brief values Google Cloud governance, scale, regional controls, or existing GCP infrastructure.
  • Create a consented custom voice only when official access, voice-owner consent, and rights review are present.

Do not use this skill as a generic audio-editing, music, denoise, DAW, mixing, or video-localization skill. Google Cloud Speech can produce transcripts and voice assets, but production finishing still needs editing, loudness normalization, sync, QC, and often translation tools outside the Speech APIs.

Volatile facts below were verified against official Google Cloud documentation on 2026-07-10. Re-check model IDs, launch stages, regional endpoints, quotas, and prices before committing spend or compliance claims.

API boundary

Google exposes related but separate services:

  • Cloud Speech-to-Text (STT): recognition/transcription from audio to text. For new media workflows, prefer API V2 unless an existing integration requires V1. V2 adds recognizer resources, regionalized service patterns, customer-managed encryption key support for resources and batch transcription, and audio auto-detect.
  • Cloud Text-to-Speech (TTS): speech synthesis from plain text, SSML, markup, or model-specific prompted text into playable audio.
  • Gemini-TTS appears in current Cloud Text-to-Speech documentation as a newer TTS family with text-prompted style control; some routes may involve Vertex AI permissions or endpoints. Verify the exact API route in the current docs before implementation.
  • Instant Custom Voice is a Cloud TTS feature for creating a voice cloning key from consent and reference audio, but access is restricted to allow-listed users.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
