Voice a papercut reel and time it to the picture. Three paths, local Qwen3-TTS, your own recording or another TTS, or a placeholder voice. Covers delivery rules, voice.json, captions and scene timing. Use for "set up the voice", "re-voice this", "time the script".

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Papercut voice

Every later stage needs two things in the narration folder: `voice/final_narrator/<id>.wav` (one WAV per script line) and `timing_narrator.js` (a start and end for every word). This skill produces them by one of three paths, then builds the captions and the scene plan. The full reference for the scripts is `library/voice/README.md`.

## Preflight

- Library: `$PAPERCUT_LIB`, else the `PAPERCUT_LIB=` line in `~/.config/papercut-explainer/config.env`, else ask once. Export it, and `. "$PAPERCUT_LIB/env.sh"` loads `ASR_PY`, `QWEN_TTS_PY` and the other config values into the shell.
- A scaffolded project (`papercut-build`, step 1) with `narration/script.json` and `papercut/episode.json` holding `scenes`. `new_episode.sh` copies `build_timing.py` into `narration/`.
- If the user already has a TTS installed, use it as it is and don't rebuild it (path B, or A if it is Qwen3-TTS). Ask once which one and where it runs. Otherwise ask which path, and say what it needs:

| Path | Needs | Install mode |
|---|---|---|
| A. Local Qwen3-TTS | the voice venv from `library/voice/setup_tts.sh` (model download 2.3-4.2 GB) | Full |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add 0xs4n4tg/papercut-explainer/papercut-voice@sha256:9a5333d955bf4a49

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261013.1bd2785, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
