# Telegram TTS Extension
Automatic text-to-speech for chat responses using ElevenLabs.
## Features
- **`speak` Tool**: Converts text to speech and sends as voice message
- **RPC Methods**: Control TTS via Gateway (`tts.status`, `tts.enable`, `tts.disable`, `tts.convert`)
- **User Preferences**: Persistent TTS state via JSON file
- **Multi-channel**: Works with Telegram and other channels
## Requirements
- ElevenLabs API key
- `sag` CLI tool (ElevenLabs TTS wrapper)
## Installation
The extension is bundled with Clawdbot. Enable it in your config:
```json
{
"plugins": {
"entries": {
"telegram-tts": {
"enabled": true,
"elevenlabs": {
"apiKey": "your-api-key"
}
}
}
}
}
```
Or set the API key via environment variable:
```bash
export ELEVENLABS_API_KEY=your-api-key
```
## Configuration
| Option | Type | Default | Description |
|--------|------|---------|-------------|
| `enabled` | boolean | `false` | Enable the plugin |
| `provider` | string | `"elevenlabs"` | TTS provider |
| `elevenlabs.apiKey` | string | - | ElevenLabs API key |
| `elevenlabs.voiceId` | string | `"pMsXgVXv3BLzUgSXRplE"` | Voice ID |
| `elevenlabs.modelId` | string | `"eleven_multilingual_v2"` | Model ID |
| `prefsPath` | string | `~/clawd/.user-preferences.json` | User preferences file |
| `maxTextLength` | number | `4000` | Max characters for TTS |
## Usage
### Agent Tool
The agent can use the `speak` tool to send voice messages:
```
User: Send me a voice message saying hello
Agent: [calls speak({ text: "Hello! How can I help you today?" })]
```
### RPC Methods
```bash
# Check TTS status
clawdbot gateway call tts.status
# Enable/disable TTS
clawdbot gateway call tts.enable
clawdbot gateway call tts.disable
# Convert text to audio
clawdbot gateway call tts.convert '{"text": "Hello world"}'
```
### Telegram Commands
Add custom commands to toggle TTS mode:
```json
{
"channels": {
"telegram": {
"customCommands": [
{"command": "tts_on", "description": "Enable voice responses"},
{"command": "tts_off", "description": "Disable voice responses"}
]
}
}
}
```
Then add handling instructions to your agent workspace (CLAUDE.md or TOOLS.md).
## Dependencies
This extension requires the `sag` CLI tool. On Linux, you can create a Python wrapper:
```python
#!/usr/bin/env python3
# ~/.local/bin/sag
from elevenlabs.client import ElevenLabs
import sys, os, tempfile
client = ElevenLabs(api_key=os.environ["ELEVENLABS_API_KEY"])
audio = client.text_to_speech.convert(
voice_id=os.environ.get("ELEVENLABS_VOICE_ID", "pMsXgVXv3BLzUgSXRplE"),
model_id="eleven_multilingual_v2",
text=sys.argv[1]
)
with tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile(suffix=".mp3", delete=False) as f:
for chunk in audio:
f.write(chunk)
print(f.name)
```
