Piper TTS — Local Voice Messages

Generate voice messages using Piper, a fast local TTS engine. Zero cloud calls, zero cost, zero API keys.

Setup

If Piper is not installed, run the setup script: 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: 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

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

Available Voices

After setup, download additional voices: 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.

Category context

Messaging, meetings, inboxes, CRM, and teammate communication surfaces.
