The Voice skill provides enhanced text-to-speech functionality using edge-tts, allowing you to convert text to spoken audio with multiple playback options.
Before using this skill, you need to install the required dependency:
pip3 install edge-tts
Or use the skill's install action:
await skill.execute({ action: 'install' });
Speak text directly without storing to file:
const result = await skill.execute({ action: 'speak', // New improved action text: 'Hello, how are you today?' }); // Audio is played directly and temporary file is cleaned up automatically
Convert text to speech with default settings:
const result = await skill.execute({ action: 'tts', text: 'Hello, how are you today?' }); // Returns a MEDIA link to the audio file
With direct playback:
const result = await skill.execute({ action: 'tts', text: 'Hello, how are you today?', playImmediately: true // Plays the audio immediately after generation });
With custom options:
const result = await skill.execute({ action: 'tts', text: 'This is a sample of voice customization.', options: { voice: 'zh-CN-XiaoxiaoNeural', rate: '+10%', volume: '-5%', pitch: '+10Hz' } });
Play an existing audio file:
const result = await skill.execute({ action: 'play', filePath: '/path/to/audio/file.mp3' });
Get a list of available voices:
const result = await skill.execute({ action: 'voices' });
Clean up temporary audio files older than 1 hour (default):
const result = await skill.execute({ action: 'cleanup' });
Or specify a custom age threshold:
const result = await skill.execute({ action: 'cleanup', options: { hoursOld: 2 // Clean files older than 2 hours } });
The following options are available for text-to-speech:
