+The api will automaticly do text normalization on input text which may incorrectly remove or change some phrases. This can be disabled by adding `"normalization_options":{"normalize": false}` to your request json:
+```python
+import requests
+
+response = requests.post(
+    "http://localhost:8880/v1/audio/speech",
+    json={
+        "input": "Hello world!",

+        {

+    },
+    stream=True

+
+for chunk in response.iter_content(chunk_size=1024):
