🎙️ TTS-Skill — Multi-Engine Text-to-Speech

TTS-Skill provides a single entrypoint for generating speech using multiple backends, with consistent output naming and progress feedback for long-running jobs.

Engines

• qwen3-tts: local voice cloning with a reference audio + transcript
• edge-tts: online voices with speed/pitch/style controls
• openai-tts: OpenAI speech generation via API

Command Syntax

/tts-skill [engine] [text] --voice [voice-keyword] [other options]

If you use the Python entrypoint:

python tts-skill.py [engine] [text] --voice [voice-keyword]

Text Input

Pass text as a positional argument, or use --text-file / -f to read from a file.

Example:

python tts-skill.py qwen3-tts --text-file "input\\text.txt" --voice 寒冰射手

Notes:

• --text-file supports relative and absolute paths; relative paths are resolved from your current working directory
• If both positional text and --text-file are provided, --text-file takes priority
• UTF-8 is recommended (UTF-8 BOM is supported); on decode error it falls back to GBK

You can also call engine scripts directly:

python engines/qwen3-tts-cli.py --text-file "input\\text.txt" --voice 寒冰射手
python engines/edge-tts-cli.py --text-file "input\\text.txt" --voice xiaoxiao
python engines/openai-tts-cli.py --text-file "input\\text.txt" --voice alloy

Local Voice Assets (Qwen3-TTS)

To add a clone voice, put a matching pair of files in assets/:

assets/Lei.wav
assets/Lei.txt

Supported audio formats: .wav, .mp3, .m4a, .flac.

Then:

python tts-skill.py qwen3-tts "测试文本" --voice Lei

Output

If --output is not provided:

• Output directory: output/
• Filename pattern: YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS_<first-6-chars>.<ext>

Progress & Timing (Qwen3-TTS)

Qwen3-TTS jobs print a live progress bar with ETA. After completion, tts-skill.py prints:

• total runtime
• total chars and Chinese chars
• average seconds per Chinese character (or per char if no Chinese)
