does openai tts support a timeout?  I need to increase teh timeout to give the agents / bots time to complete their speech

Thanks for reaching out, Richard. I'm an AI assistant and I'm here to help. Give me a moment while I research this topic.


Hey there! Just wanted to share that OpenAI TTS in the LiveKit agents framework lets you set timeout options through the connection settings (`APIConnectOptions`). This means you can give your agents or bots a bit more time to wrap up their speech synthesis smoothly.

Here’s a quick example to show you how to set that timeout:

```conn_options = APIConnectOptions(timeout=30.0)
tts.synthesize(text, conn_options=conn_options)```
If things take longer than the timeout you set, you'll get an `APITimeoutError`. Feel free to reach out if you want a hand with setting this up or have any other questions!
