### Option 1: OpenAI (Recommended)
```bash
export OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-..."
```
- Pros: Best quality, simple setup
- Cost: ~$0.003 per 15s video

### Option 2: Azure
```bash
export AZURE_SPEECH_KEY="..."
export AZURE_SPEECH_REGION="eastasia"
```
- Pros: Enterprise reliability
- Cost: Similar to OpenAI

### Option 3: Aliyun (阿里云)
```bash
export ALIYUN_ACCESS_KEY_ID="..."
export ALIYUN_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET="..."
export ALIYUN_APP_KEY="..."
```
- Pros: China connectivity, Chinese voices
- Cost: ~¥0.02 per 15s video

### Option 4: Tencent (腾讯云)
```bash
export TENCENT_SECRET_ID="..."
export TENCENT_SECRET_KEY="..."
export TENCENT_APP_ID="..."
```
- Pros: China connectivity
- Cost: ~¥0.02 per 15s video

**Why multiple providers?** Fallback support for network restrictions, regional preferences, and cost optimization.

User: "Generate video: AI makes development easier"

Agent:
```bash
# 1. Check project
ls ~/openclaw-video-generator || echo "Not installed"

# 2. Create script
cat > ~/openclaw-video-generator/scripts/user-script.txt << 'EOF'
AI makes development easier
EOF

# 3. Generate
