    About this skill

    The problem

    Generating high-quality speech usually requires expensive cloud API subscriptions or complex local model hosting. Developers need a way to add vocal announcements, accessibility read-outs, or narration to their tools without managing API keys or heavy infrastructure.

    What it does

    • Converts text or local files into MP3 audio using neural voices.
    • Provides access to over 100 high-quality Microsoft Edge neural voices across multiple locales.
    • Adjusts speaking rate, pitch, and volume via simple percentage offsets.
    • Handles local audio playback on macOS and Linux systems for immediate feedback.
    • Automates voice selection and synthesis for system alerts or script narration.

    Frameworks & tools

    Uses edge-tts via Python, afplay (macOS), and aplay or ffplay (Linux).

    Why this beats prompting it yourself

    Standard LLM prompts often hallucinate TTS commands or fail to handle shell quoting for long scripts. This skill provides a structured workflow for voice discovery, parameter tuning, and reliable file delivery with proper media attachment handling.

    Use cases

    • Announce build completions or deployment statuses in the terminal.
    • Generate scratch-track narration for video or podcast drafts.
    • Create audio versions of long-form articles for accessibility.
    • Build interactive voice responses for local automation scripts.

    Known limitations

    Requires local installation of edge-tts via pip. Not recommended for commercial redistribution or complex SSML requirements.
