[S2] Not yet, but I heard it saves a ton of time. [S1] It really does. I cut my workflow in half. [S2] Okay, I am definitely trying it today." }' ``` > **Install note:** The [install script](https://cli.inference.sh) only detects your OS/architecture, downloads the matching binary from `dist.inference.sh`, and verifies its SHA-256 checksum. No elevated permissions or background processes. [Manual install & verification](https://dist.inference.sh/cli/checksums.txt) available. ## Speaker Tags Dia TTS uses `[S1]` and `[S2]` to distinguish two speakers. | Tag | Role | Voice | |-----|------|-------| | `[S1]` | Speaker 1 | Automatically assigned voice A | | `[S2]` | Speaker 2 | Automatically assigned voice B | **Rules:** - Always start each speaker turn with the tag - Tags must be uppercase: `[S1]` not `[s1]` - Maximum 2 speakers per generation - Each speaker maintains consistent voice within a session ## Emotion & Expression Control Dia TTS interprets punctuation and non-speech cues for emotional delivery. ### Punctuation Effects | Punctuation | Effect | Example | |-------------|--------|---------| | `.` | Neutral, declarative, medium pause | "This is important." | | `!` | Emphasis, excitement, energy | "This is amazing!" | | `?` | Rising intonation, questioning | "Are you sure about that?" | | `...` | Hesitation, trailing off, long pause | "I thought it would work... but it didn't." | | `,` | Short breath pause | "First, we analyze. Then, we act." | | `—` or `--` | Interruption or pivot | "I was going to say — never mind." | ### Non-Speech Sounds Dia TTS supports parenthetical sound descriptions: ``` (laughs) — laughter (sighs) — exasperation or relief (clears throat) — attention-getting pause (whispers) — softer delivery (gasps) — surprise ``` ### Examples with Emotion ```bash # Excited conversation infsh app run falai/dia-tts --input '{ "prompt": "[S1] Guess what happened today! [S2] What? Tell me! [S1] We hit ten thousand users! [S2] (gasps) No way! That is incredible! [S1] I know... I still cannot believe it." }' # Serious/thoughtful dialogue infsh app run falai/dia-tts --input '{ "prompt": "[S1] We need to talk about the timeline. [S2] (sighs) I know. It is tight. [S1] Can we cut anything from the scope? [S2] Maybe... but it would mean dropping the analytics dashboard. [S1] That is a tough trade-off." }' # Teaching/explaining infsh app run falai/dia-tts --input '{ "prompt": "[S1] So how does it actually work? [S2] Great question. Think of it like a pipeline. Data comes in on one end, gets processed in the middle, and comes out transformed on the other side. [S1] Like an assembly line? [S2] Exactly! Each step adds something." }' ``` ## Pacing Control ### Pause Hierarchy | Technique | Pause Length | Use For | |-----------|-------------|---------| | Comma `,` | ~0.3 seconds | Between clauses, list items | | Period `.` | ~0.5 seconds | Between sentences | | Ellipsis `...` | ~1.0 seconds | Dramatic pause, thinking, hesitation | | New speaker tag | ~0.3 seconds | Natural turn-taking gap | ### Speed Control - **Shorter sentences** = faster perceived pace - **Longer sentences with commas** = measured, thoughtful pace - **Questions followed by answers** = engaging back-and-forth rhythm ```bash # Fast-paced, energetic infsh app run falai/dia-tts --input '{ "prompt": "[S1] Ready? [S2] Ready. [S1] Let us go! Three features. Five minutes. [S2] Hit it! [S1] Feature one: real-time sync." }' # Slow, contemplative infsh app run falai/dia-tts --input '{ "prompt": "[S1] I have been thinking about this for a while... and I think we need to change direction. [S2] What do you mean? [S1] The market has shifted. What worked last year... is not working now." }' ``` ## Conversation Structure Patterns ### Interview Format ```bash infsh app run falai/dia-tts --input '{ "prompt": "[S1] Welcome to the show. Today we have a special guest. Tell us about yourself. [S2] Thanks for having me! I am a product designer, and I have been building tools for creators for about ten years. [S1] What got you started in design? [S2] Honestly? I was terrible at coding but loved making things look good. (laughs) So design was the natural path." }' ``` ### Tutorial / Explainer ```bash infsh app run falai/dia-tts --input '{ "prompt": "[S1] Can you walk me through the setup process? [S2] Sure. Step one, install the CLI. It takes about thirty seconds. [S1] And then? [S2] Step two, run the login command. It will open your browser for authentication. [S1] That sounds simple. [S2] It is! Step three, you are ready to run your first app." }' ``` ### Debate / Discussion ```bash infsh app run falai/dia-tts --input '{ "prompt": "[S1] I think we should go with option A. It is faster to implement. [S2] But option B scales better long-term. [S1] Sure, but we need something shipping this quarter. [S2] Fair point... what if we do A now with a migration path to B? [S1] That could work. Let us prototype it." }' ``` ## Post-Production Tips ### Volume Normalization Both speakers should be at consistent volume. If one is louder: ```bash # Merge with balanced audio infsh app run infsh/video-audio-merger --input '{ "video": "talking-head.mp4", "audio": "dialogue.mp3", "audio_volume": 1.0 }' ``` ### Adding Background/Music ```bash # Merge dialogue with background music infsh app run infsh/media-merger --input '{ "media": ["dialogue.mp3", "background-music.mp3"] }' ``` ### Segmenting Long Conversations For conversations longer than ~30 seconds, generate in segments: ```bash # Segment 1: Introduction infsh app run falai/dia-tts --input '{ "prompt": "[S1] Welcome back to another episode..." }' # Segment 2: Main content infsh app run falai/dia-tts --input '{ "prompt": "[S1] So let us dive into today s topic..." }' # Segment 3: Wrap-up infsh app run falai/dia-tts --input '{ "prompt": "[S1] Great conversation today..." }' # Merge all segments infsh app run infsh/media-merger --input '{ "media": ["segment1.mp3", "segment2.mp3", "segment3.mp3"] }' ``` ## Script Writing Tips | Do | Don't | |----|-------| | Write how people talk | Write how people write | | Short sentences (< 15 words) | Long academic sentences | | Contractions ("can't", "won't") | Formal ("cannot", "will not") | | Natural fillers ("So,", "Well,") | Every sentence perfectly formed | | Vary sentence length | All sentences same length | | Include reactions ("Exactly!", "Hmm.") | One-sided monologues | | Read it aloud before generating | Assume it sounds right | ## Common Mistakes | Mistake | Problem | Fix | |---------|---------|-----| | Monologues longer than 3 sentences | Sounds like a lecture, not conversation | Break into exchanges | | No emotional variation | Flat, robotic delivery | Use punctuation and non-speech cues | | Missing speaker tags | Voices don't alternate | Start every turn with `[S1]` or `[S2]` | | Formal written language | Sounds unnatural spoken | Use contractions, short sentences | | No pauses between topics | Feels rushed | Use `...` or scene breaks | | All same energy level | Monotonous | Vary between high/low energy moments | ## Related Skills ```bash npx skills add inference-sh/skills@text-to-speech npx skills add inference-sh/skills@ai-podcast-creation npx skills add inference-sh/skills@ai-avatar-video ``` Browse all apps: `infsh app list`
