Generate audio narration of blog posts using Google Gemini TTS. Supports summary narration, full article read-aloud, and two-speaker podcast/dialogue mode with 30 voice options. Outputs MP3 with HTML5 audio embed code. Works standalone via /blog audio or internally from blog-write. Falls back gracefully when API key is not configured. Use when user says "blog audio", "narrate blog", "audio version", "text to speech", "tts", "podcast mode", "read aloud", "audio narration", "voice", "narration…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Blog Audio: Gemini TTS Narration for Blog Posts
Generate professional audio narration of blog content using Google's Gemini TTS.
Three modes: summary (200-300 word spoken overview), full article read-aloud,
or two-speaker podcast dialogue. 30 voices, 80+ languages, HTML5 embed output.
## Quick Reference
| Command | What it does |
|---------|-------------|
| `/blog audio generate <file>` | Generate audio narration of a blog post |
| `/blog audio voices` | Show available voices with characteristics |
| `/blog audio setup` | Check/configure API key for Gemini TTS |
## Prerequisites
- Python 3.11+ (venv managed automatically by `run.py`)
- `GOOGLE_AI_API_KEY` environment variable (same key used by blog-image)
- FFmpeg (for WAV-to-MP3 conversion; falls back to WAV if missing)
## Always Use run.py Wrapper
```bash
# CORRECT:
python3 scripts/run.py generate_audio.py --text "..." --voice Charon --json
# WRONG:
python3 scripts/generate_audio.py --text "..." # Fails without venv
```
## API Key Check (Gate Pattern)
Before generating audio, check for the API key:
```bash
test -n "${GOOGLE_AI_API_KEY:-}" && echo "GOOGLE_AI_API_KEY is set" || echo "GOOGLE_AI_API_KEY is not set"
```

How to install
mdr add agricidaniel/claude-blog/blog-audio@sha256:482ed5b7367c1546The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.11.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
