OpenAI audio

Use this skill when a user wants OpenAI audio production or understanding in a bounded request: generated narration, spoken product demos, podcast or interview transcription, subtitle timing, translation to English, audio QA, or adding audio input/output to an existing chat workflow.

Do not use this as the primary guide for continuous low-latency speech-to-speech agents, live interpreting, SIP/WebRTC sessions, or voice activity detection. Those belong to the separate realtime voice skill. This skill may still explain the boundary: request-based audio APIs fit files, scripts, and bounded requests; realtime sessions fit open connections with live audio events.
