## What this skill does
This skill converts text into speech using Deepdub and returns an audio file
as a `MEDIA:` attachment that OpenClaw can send to channels like Telegram.

## Requirements
- Python 3.9+
- Deepdub API access

### Permissions
This skill requires permission to:
- Execute `deepdub_tts.py` (the bundled script)
- Write audio files to `OPENCLAW_MEDIA_DIR` only (output path cannot be overridden via CLI arguments)

## Setup
Set the following environment variables where OpenClaw runs:

Required:
- `DEEPDUB_API_KEY` – your Deepdub API key
- `DEEPDUB_VOICE_PROMPT_ID` – default voice prompt to use

Optional:
- `DEEPDUB_LOCALE` (default: `en-US`)
- `DEEPDUB_MODEL`
- `OPENCLAW_MEDIA_DIR` (default: `/tmp/openclaw_media`)

### Free Trial Credentials
For testing only, you can use these free trial credentials:
```
DEEPDUB_API_KEY=dd-00000000000000000000000065c9cbfe
DEEPDUB_VOICE_PROMPT_ID=11f3403d-35b9-4817-8d55-f41694ea6227
```
> **Note:** These are rate-limited trial credentials for evaluation purposes only. Do not use for production. Obtain your own API key and voice prompts from Deepdub for production use.

## Install dependency

Install the official Deepdub Python SDK:

```bash
pip install deepdub
```

Or using [uv](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv) (faster alternative):
```bash
uv pip install deepdub
```

Clean MEDIA handoff, watch the output path

Returning audio as a MEDIA attachment means it drops straight into chat channels without extra glue, which is the whole point. The design choice to lock the output directory is a security win but will surprise you if you try to write to a custom path via CLI. Start with the rate-limited trial credentials to validate the voice, then swap in a real key.

Use case: Turning agent text into a voice note delivered to a messaging channel.

Adding a voice note your chat can play

Set the key and voice prompt in the environment so the script needs no arguments.

Use the trial credentials only to audition the voice, then switch to a real key.

Keep generated clips short; long ones rarely get played to the end.

Gotcha: you cannot redirect the output path, so do not try to write voice files elsewhere.

# Adding a voice note your chat can play The skill's whole value is handing back a MEDIA attachment that a channel understands directly, so the audio arrives as a playable message rather than a file link. ```bash export DEEPDUB_API_KEY="your-key" export DEEPDUB_VOICE_PROMPT_ID="your-voice-id" ``` ## Validate the voice first The bundled trial credentials are rate limited on purpose. Use them to confirm the voice reads well, then move to a real key for anything production. ## Respect the output directory The script writes only to the media directory and will not let a CLI flag override it. That is a safety feature, not a bug, so plan your file naming around it. ## Keep clips short Short voice notes get listened to. Break long explanations into a digest plus an optional full clip.
