## Description

DashScope (Alibaba Cloud Bailian / 阿里云百炼) integration, image generation (qwen-image-2.0-pro), text-to-speech (qwen3-tts-flash), and ASR with word-level timestamps (qwen3-asr-flash-filetrans). Use when generating images via Qwen-Image, narrating via Qwen-TTS, or transcribing with word-level timestamps via Qwen-ASR.

# DashScope

Requires `DASHSCOPE_API_KEY` in `.env`. Get one at https://dashscope.aliyun.com/.

## Current API

**CRITICAL:** DashScope's `/compatible-mode/v1/` only supports `/chat/completions` and `/embeddings`. Image generation, TTS, and ASR all use **DashScope-native endpoints**, not OpenAI-compatible paths.

All three tools use `Authorization: Bearer $DASHSCOPE_API_KEY`.

### Image Generation

```text
POST https://dashscope.aliyuncs.com/api/v1/services/aigc/multimodal-generation/generation
```

- Model: `qwen-image-2.0-pro` (default), `qwen-image-max`, `wan2.7-image`, `z-image-turbo`
- Body: `{model, input: {messages: [{role: "user", content: [{text: "prompt"}]}]}, parameters: {size: "W*H", n, prompt_extend, watermark}}`
- **Size format uses asterisk:** `"1024*1024"` not `"1024x1024"`
- Response: `output.choices[0].message.content[0].image` (URL, valid ~24h), must download separately

### Text-to-Speech

```text
POST https://dashscope.aliyuncs.com/api/v1/services/aigc/multimodal-generation/generation
```

Same endpoint as image gen, different body.

- Model: `qwen3-tts-flash` (default), `qwen3-tts-instruct-flash`, `qwen-tts-2025-05-22`
- Body: `{model, input: {text, voice: "Cherry", language_type: "Auto"}}`
- Response: `output.audio.url` (WAV, valid ~24h), must download separately

### ASR with Word-Level Timestamps

```text
POST https://dashscope.aliyuncs.com/api/v1/services/audio/asr/transcription
Header: X-DashScope-Async: enable
```

- Model: `qwen3-asr-flash-filetrans` (NOT `qwen3-asr-flash`, the sync version has no word timestamps)
- Body: `{model, input: {file_url: "https://public-url/audio.mp3"}, parameters: {enable_words: true, language_hints: ["zh","en"]}}`
- Returns `task_id` → poll `GET /api/v1/tasks/{task_id}` until `SUCCEEDED` → download `output.result.transcription_url` → JSON with `transcripts[].sentences[].words[]`
- Timestamps in `begin_time`/`end_time` are in **milliseconds**, the tool normalizes to seconds
