Voice.ai Voices

✨ Features

• 9 Voice Personas - Carefully curated voices for different use cases
• 11 Languages - Multi-language synthesis with multilingual model
• Streaming Mode - Real-time audio output as it generates
• Voice Design - Customize with temperature and top_p parameters

⚙️ Configuration

Set your API key as an environment variable:

export VOICE_AI_API_KEY="your-api-key"

Get your API key: Voice.ai Dashboard

📦 Installation

No install step is required. This skill bundles a Node.js CLI and SDK (no external npm dependencies).

🧩 Key Files

• scripts/tts.js - CLI entrypoint
• voice-ai-tts-sdk.js - Node.js SDK used by the CLI
• voices.json - Voice definitions used by the CLI
• voice-ai-tts.yaml - API specification
• package.json - Skill metadata for tooling

Security Notes

See SECURITY.md for the full security and privacy overview.

This skill:

• Makes outbound HTTPS requests only to https://dev.voice.ai
• Reads local files: voices.json
• Writes audio output to the --output path (default output.mp3)
• Does not execute shell commands and does not modify system configuration files

🌐 API Endpoint

The SDK and spec use https://dev.voice.ai, which is the official Voice.ai production API domain.

🤖 OpenClaw Integration

OpenClaw can invoke the CLI script directly if your environment exposes VOICE_AI_API_KEY. Use the /tts commands as configured by your OpenClaw installation.

📝 Triggers

These chat commands work with OpenClaw:

Examples:

/tts Hello, welcome to Voice.ai!
/tts --voice oliver Good morning, everyone.
/tts --voice lilith --stream This is a long story that will stream as it generates...

🎙️ Available Voices

🌍 Supported Languages

Use the multilingual model for non-English languages:

const audio = await client.generateSpeech({
  text: 'Bonjour le monde!',
  voice_id: 'ellie-voice-id',
  model: 'voiceai-tts-multilingual-v1-latest',
  language: 'fr'
});

🎨 Voice Design

Customize voice output with these parameters:

Example:

const audio = await client.generateSpeech({
  text: 'This will sound very expressive!',
  voice_id: 'ellie-voice-id',
  temperature: 1.8,
  top_p: 0.9
});

📡 Streaming Mode

Generate audio with real-time streaming (recommended for long texts):

# Stream audio as it generates
node scripts/tts.js --text "This is a long story..." --voice ellie --stream

# Streaming with custom output
node scripts/tts.js --text "Chapter one..." --voice oliver --stream --output chapter1.mp3

SDK streaming:

const stream = await client.streamSpeech({
  text: 'Long text here...',
  voice_id: 'ellie-voice-id'
});

// Pipe to file
stream.pipe(fs.createWriteStream('output.mp3'));

// Or handle chunks
stream.on('data', chunk => {
  // Process audio chunk
});

🔊 Audio Formats

See voice-ai-tts-sdk.js for all format options.

💻 CLI Usage

💰 Cost & Usage

Voice.ai uses a credit-based system. Check your usage:

// The SDK tracks usage via API responses
const voices = await client.listVoices();
// Check response headers for rate limit info

Tips to reduce costs:

• Use streaming for long texts (more efficient)
• Cache generated audio when possible
• Use appropriate audio quality for your use case
