# Audio Streaming Output

The Faseeh API supports streaming audio output for real-time text-to-speech generation. When `streaming: true` is set in your request, the API returns audio data in chunks as it's generated.

## Audio Format

Streaming responses return raw PCM audio data:

* **Format**: PCM (Pulse Code Modulation)
* **Sample Rate**: 24000 Hz
* **Channels**: Mono
* **Bit Depth**: 16-bit

## How It Works

When streaming is enabled:

1. The API starts generating audio immediately
2. Audio chunks are sent as they become available
3. You can begin playback before generation completes
4. Lower latency compared to non-streaming requests

## Example

```bash theme={null}
curl -X POST "https://api.faseeh.ai/api/v1/text-to-speech/faseeh-v1-preview" \
  -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "voice_id": "ar-najdi-male-2",
    "text": "مرحبا بك في فصيح",
    "streaming": true,
    "stability": 0.5,
    "speed": 1
  }' \
  --output audio.pcm
```

## Handling Streaming Responses

Process the streaming PCM data in your application:

* Save chunks to a buffer
* Play audio chunks as they arrive
* Convert PCM to your desired format (WAV, MP3, etc.) if needed
