Get API key from https://waves.smallest.ai → click "API Key" in left panel 2. Set `SMALLEST_API_KEY` in your environment: ```bash export SMALLEST_API_KEY="your_key_here" ``` ## Defaults - Default female voice: `sophia` (American English) - Default male voice: `robert` (American English) - Default language: `en` - Default speed: `1.0` - Default sample rate: `24000` ## Voice Selection Rules Follow these rules to select the voice: 1. If user explicitly names a voice (e.g. "use advika"), use that voice. 2. If user asks for a **male** voice, use the configured `defaultVoiceMale`. 3. If user asks for a **female** voice, use the configured `defaultVoiceFemale`. 4. If no gender preference, use `defaultVoiceFemale` (sophia by default). 5. For **Hindi** content: use `advika` (female) or `vivaan` (male). 6. For **Spanish** content: use `camilla` (female) or `carlos` (male). 7. For **Tamil** content: use `anitha` (female) or `raju` (male). Always pass the configured `defaultLanguage`, `defaultSpeed`, and `defaultSampleRate` as `--lang`, `--speed`, and `--rate` flags unless the user overrides them. ## Text-to-Speech Generate speech audio from text using Lightning v3.1 model. ### Shell (preferred — zero dependencies) ```bash {baseDir}/scripts/tts.sh "Text to speak" --voice sophia --rate 24000 --speed 1.0 --lang en ``` ### Python (requires `pip install smallestai` or just `requests`) ```bash python3 {baseDir}/scripts/tts.py "Text to speak" --voice sophia --speed 1.0 --lang en --out speech.wav ``` ### Voices | Voice | Gender | Accent | Best For | |-----------|--------|-----------------|-----------------------------| | sophia | Female | American | General use (default) | | robert | Male | American | Professional, reports (default) | | advika | Female | Indian | Hindi content, code-switch | | vivaan | Male | Indian | Bilingual English/Hindi | | camilla | Female | Mexican/Latin | Spanish content | | zara | Female | American | Conversational | | melody | Female | American | Storytelling, greetings | | arjun | Male | Indian | English/Hindi bilingual | | stella | Female | American | Expressive, warm | 80+ more voices available. List all with: `{baseDir}/scripts/voices.sh` ### Options - `--voice <id>`: Voice identifier (default: sophia) - `--rate <hz>`: Sample rate — 8000 | 16000 | 24000 | 44100 (default: 24000) - `--speed <n>`: Playback speed 0.5–2.0 (default: 1.0) - `--lang <code>`: Language code (default: en). See `{baseDir}/references/languages.md` - `--out <path>`: Output file (default: auto-named `media/tts_<timestamp>.wav`) ### Output Scripts print `MEDIA: <filepath>` on success. OpenClaw sends this as an audio attachment. ### Multilingual Supports 30+ languages. Pass `--lang` with ISO code: ```bash {baseDir}/scripts/tts.sh "नमस्ते, कैसे हैं आप?" --voice advika --lang hi {baseDir}/scripts/tts.sh "Bonjour le monde" --voice sophia --lang fr {baseDir}/scripts/tts.sh "Hola, buenos días" --voice camilla --lang es ``` Code-switching (mixing languages) works automatically — no flag needed: ```bash {baseDir}/scripts/tts.sh "Hey, मुझे meeting remind कर दो" --voice advika --lang hi ``` ## Speech-to-Text Transcribe audio files using Pulse model. Supports WAV, MP3, OGG, FLAC. ### Shell ```bash {baseDir}/scripts/stt.sh /path/to/audio.wav {baseDir}/scripts/stt.sh /path/to/audio.wav --diarize --timestamps --emotions ``` ### Python ```bash python3 {baseDir}/scripts/stt.py /path/to/audio.wav --diarize --timestamps --lang en ``` ### Options - `--lang <code>`: Language (default: en) - `--diarize`: Identify different speakers - `--timestamps`: Word-level timing - `--emotions`: Detect emotional tone ### Output Returns JSON with `transcription` field. With `--diarize`, includes speaker labels per word. ## When to Use Trigger this skill when the user: - Asks to "say", "speak", "read aloud", or "generate speech/audio" - Wants a "voice message", "voice note", or "audio file" - Asks to "transcribe", "convert speech/audio to text" - Mentions "Smallest AI", "Lightning TTS", or "Pulse STT" - Needs fast or low-latency speech generation - Wants Hindi, Spanish, multilingual, or code-switched voice output - Asks to compare TTS providers or benchmark latency ## Error Handling - Missing API key → tell user to set `SMALLEST_API_KEY` - HTTP 401 → invalid or expired API key - HTTP 429 → rate limited, wait and retry - HTTP 400 → check text length (max ~5000 chars per request). Split long text into chunks. - Empty audio → verify voice_id is valid ## Limits - Max text per request: ~5000 characters - For longer text: split into sentences, synthesize each, concatenate with sox or ffmpeg - Free tier: 30 minutes/month of TTS - Basic ($5/mo): 3 hours of TTS + 1 voice clone
