Namespace Tracon · Assembly Tracon.Abstractions.dll
One character's position in the generated audio.
```csharp
public sealed record SpeechAlignment : IEquatable
```
- Inheritance
- object ← SpeechAlignment
- Implements
- IEquatable<SpeechAlignment>
- Inherited Members
- object.GetType(), object.ToString(), object.Equals(object?), object.Equals(object?, object?), object.ReferenceEquals(object?, object?), object.GetHashCode()
## Remarks
Character-level, not word-level: this is the granularity ElevenLabs' `.../with-timestamps`
endpoint reports (verified against its published OpenAPI document, 2026-08-19).
Grouping characters into words or producing a subtitle format (SRT/VTT) is left
to the consumer: the raw form is enough.
