Every utterance leaves a receipt. Every voice-print consent is signed.
A voice merchant on the Visa CLI mints one hive-vcr-1 receipt per synthesis. Voice-print consent class, source-script hash, and likeness-rights are co-signed before the waveform returns.
The fields the operator co-signs before this call returns.
Every field below is co-signed by the operator with ML-DSA-65 and countersigned by Hive. Absence is not a default. Absence is a verification failure. The merchant cannot return the call's result without the receipt; the receipt cannot exist without these fields.
Voice / TTS · attestation fields
Three places this category needs a receipt yesterday.
Voice-clone compliance
When a brand licenses a celebrity voice, the per-utterance receipt is the per-use proof the talent's agency can verify quarterly without trusting the brand or the synthesis vendor.
IVR and customer-service
A regulated IVR system proves what was said and when, in a form the regulator accepts without subpoenaing the vendor.
Accessibility narration
Public-sector accessibility narration carries the consent and rights class in the receipt. The procurement file is the receipt log.
One endpoint. One envelope. No Hive dependency in your inference path.
A voice / tts operator adopts hive-vcr-1 by appending the receipt envelope to the response and exposing a public verification key. Hive's countersignature is a sidecar; it does not sit on the critical path. If Hive disappears, the operator's receipts remain verifiable against the operator's own key.
