This is the second sentence. And this is the third. ``` ### Usage Statistics ```bash # Show usage stats and cost estimates python3 scripts/tts.py --stats # Reset statistics python3 scripts/tts.py --reset-stats ``` --- ## 🎵 Sound Effects (SFX) Generate AI-powered sound effects from text descriptions: ```bash # Generate a sound effect python3 scripts/sfx.py --prompt "Thunder rumbling in the distance" # With specific duration (0.5-22 seconds) python3 scripts/sfx.py --prompt "Cat meowing" --duration 3 --output cat.mp3 # Adjust prompt influence (0.0-1.0) python3 scripts/sfx.py --prompt "Footsteps on gravel" --influence 0.5 # Batch SFX generation python3 scripts/sfx.py --batch sounds.json --output-dir ./sfx # Show prompt examples python3 scripts/sfx.py --examples ``` **Example prompts:** - "Thunder rumbling in the distance" - "Cat purring contentedly" - "Typing on a mechanical keyboard" - "Spaceship engine humming" - "Coffee shop background chatter" --- ## 🎨 Voice Design Create custom voices from text descriptions: ```bash # Basic voice design python3 scripts/voice-design.py --gender female --age middle_aged --accent american \ --description "A warm, motherly voice" # With custom preview text python3 scripts/voice-design.py --gender male --age young --accent british \ --text "Welcome to the adventure!" --output preview.mp3 # Save to your ElevenLabs library python3 scripts/voice-design.py --gender female --age young --accent american \ --description "Energetic podcast host" --save "MyHost" # List all design options python3 scripts/voice-design.py --options ``` **Voice Design Options:** | Option | Values | |--------|--------| | Gender | male, female, neutral | | Age | young, middle_aged, old | | Accent | american, british, african, australian, indian, latin, middle_eastern, scandinavian, eastern_european | | Accent Strength | 0.3-2.0 (subtle to strong) | --- ## 📖 Pronunciation Dictionary Customize how words are pronounced: Edit `pronunciations.json`: ```json { "rules": [ { "word": "OpenClaw", "replacement": "Open Claw", "comment": "Pronounce as two words" }, { "word": "API", "replacement": "A P I", "comment": "Spell out acronym" } ] } ``` Usage: ```bash # Pronunciations are applied automatically python3 scripts/tts.py --text "The OpenClaw API is great" --voice rachel # Disable pronunciations python3 scripts/tts.py --text "The API is great" --voice rachel --no-pronunciations ``` --- ## 💰 Cost Tracking The skill tracks your character usage and estimates costs: ```bash python3 scripts/tts.py --stats ``` **Output:** ``` 📊 ElevenLabs Usage Statistics Total Characters: 15,230 Total Requests: 42 Since: 2024-01-15 💰 Estimated Costs: Starter $4.57 ($0.30/1k chars) Creator $3.66 ($0.24/1k chars) Pro $2.74 ($0.18/1k chars) Scale $1.68 ($0.11/1k chars) ``` --- ## 🤖 OpenClaw TTS Integration ### Using with OpenClaw's Built-in TTS OpenClaw has built-in TTS support that can use ElevenLabs. Configure in `~/.openclaw/openclaw.json`: ```json { "tts": { "enabled": true, "provider": "elevenlabs", "elevenlabs": { "apiKey": "your-api-key-here", "voice": "rachel", "model": "eleven_multilingual_v2" } } } ``` ### Triggering TTS in Chat In OpenClaw conversations: - Use `/tts on` to enable automatic TTS - Use the `tts` tool directly for one-off speech - Request "read this aloud" or "speak this" ### Using Skill Scripts from OpenClaw ```bash # OpenClaw can run these scripts directly exec python3 /path/to/skills/elevenlabs-voices/scripts/tts.py --text "Hello" --voice rachel ``` --- ## ⚙ Configuration The scripts look for API key in this order: 1. `ELEVEN_API_KEY` or `ELEVENLABS_API_KEY` environment variable 2. Skill-local `.env` file (in the skill directory) **Create .env file:** ```bash echo 'ELEVEN_API_KEY=your-key-here' > .env ``` > **Note:** The skill no longer reads from `~/.openclaw/openclaw.json`. Use environment variables or the skill-local `.env` file. --- ## 🎛 Voice Settings Each voice has tuned settings for optimal output: | Setting | Range | Description | |---------|-------|-------------| | stability | 0.0-1.0 | Higher = consistent, lower = expressive | | similarity_boost | 0.0-1.0 | How closely to match original voice | | style | 0.0-1.0 | Exaggeration of speaking style | --- ## 📝 Triggers - "use {voice_name} voice" - "speak as {persona}" - "list voices" - "voice settings" - "generate sound effect" - "design a voice" --- ## 📁 Files ``` elevenlabs-voices/ ├── SKILL.md # This documentation ├── README.md # Quick start guide ├── config.json # Your local config (created by setup, in .gitignore) ├── voices.json # Voice definitions & settings ├── pronunciations.json # Custom pronunciation rules ├── examples.md # Detailed usage examples ├── scripts/ │ ├── setup.py # Interactive setup wizard │ ├── tts.py # Main TTS script │ ├── sfx.py # Sound effects generator │ └── voice-design.py # Voice design tool └── references/ └── voice-guide.md # Voice selection guide ``` --- ## 🔗 Links - [ElevenLabs](https://elevenlabs.io) - [API Documentation](https://docs.elevenlabs.io) - [Voice Library](https://elevenlabs.io/voice-library) - [Sound Effects API](https://elevenlabs.io/docs/api-reference/sound-generation) - [Voice Design API](https://elevenlabs.io/docs/api-reference/voice-generation) --- ## 📋 Changelog ### v2.1.0 - Added interactive setup wizard (`scripts/setup.py`) - Onboarding guides through API key, voice, language, quality, and budget settings - Config stored locally in `config.json` (added to `.gitignore`) - Professional, privacy-focused setup experience ### v2.0.0 - Added 32 language support with `--lang` parameter - Added streaming mode with `--stream` flag - Added sound effects generation (`sfx.py`) - Added batch processing with `--batch` flag - Added cost tracking with `--stats` flag - Added voice design tool (`voice-design.py`) - Added pronunciation dictionary support - Added OpenClaw TTS integration documentation - Improved error handling and progress output
