# Piper TTS — Local Voice Messages

Generate voice messages using [Piper](https://github.com/rhasspy/piper), a fast local TTS engine. Zero cloud calls, zero cost, zero API keys.

## Setup

If Piper is not installed, run the setup script:

```bash
scripts/setup-piper.sh
```

This installs `piper-tts` via pip and downloads a default voice (`en_US-kusal-medium`).

## Generating Voice Messages

Use `scripts/piper-speak.sh` to generate and deliver voice:

```bash
scripts/piper-speak.sh "<text>" [voice]
```

- `text`: The text to speak (required)
- `voice`: Piper voice name (default: `en_US-kusal-medium`)

The script outputs an MP3 path. Include it in your reply as:

```
[[audio_as_voice]]
MEDIA:<path-to-mp3>
```

This delivers the audio as a native voice message on supported channels (Telegram, Discord, etc.).

## Example Workflow

1. User asks: "Tell me a joke as audio"
2. Run: `scripts/piper-speak.sh "Why do programmers prefer dark mode? Because light attracts bugs!"`
3. Get MP3 path from output
4. Reply with `[[audio_as_voice]]` + `MEDIA:<path>`

## Available Voices

After setup, download additional voices:

```bash
scripts/setup-piper.sh --voice en_US-ryan-high
scripts/setup-piper.sh --voice en_GB-northern_english_male-medium
```

Popular voices:
- `en_US-kusal-medium` — Clear male voice (default, recommended)
- `en_US-ryan-high` — High quality US male
- `en_US-hfc_male-medium` — US male
- `en_GB-northern_english_male-medium` — British male
- Browse all: https://huggingface.co/rhasspy/piper-voices

## Important Notes

- **Speed**: Local generation is ~0.5-1s. Much faster than cloud TTS.
- **No API keys**: Works completely offline after setup.
- **Platform**: macOS (Apple Silicon + Intel), Linux. Requires Python 3.9+.
- **Do NOT** set `messages.tts.auto: "always"` in OpenClaw config — it makes every response slow. Keep TTS on-demand.
