Use when the user runs /add-read-aloud or wants the app to speak text with Grok text-to-speech: read-aloud button on assistant replies, auto-speak, TTS, voice output, narration, IVR prompts, speech tags, voice_id. For a two-way voice agent use /add-voice. For speech-to-text use /add-dictation.

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

# Add Read Aloud

Add Grok Text to Speech to an existing app: a speaker button on assistant replies, auto-speak, or narration of any text. Run on `/add-read-aloud`, typed **Read aloud**, or clear “speak this” / “TTS” intent. Cursor has no speaker; wire the **app**, not the IDE.

## Docs

- https://docs.x.ai/developers/model-capabilities/audio/text-to-speech
- API reference: https://docs.x.ai/developers/rest-api-reference/inference/voice
- Custom voices: https://docs.x.ai/developers/model-capabilities/audio/custom-voices
- Pricing (cite docs only): https://docs.x.ai/developers/pricing

## Pick the path

| Need | Path |
| --- | --- |
| Tap speaker, hear the finished reply. Narrate a page. Generate a file. | **Batch** `POST https://api.x.ai/v1/tts` (default) |
| Audio starts while the LLM is still streaming; barge-in; texts over 15,000 chars | **Streaming** `wss://api.x.ai/v1/tts` through a backend relay |

Batch is the default for a read-aloud button: one request, one MP3, cacheable, the key never leaves the server. Go streaming only when the UX needs audio before the text is complete. `POST /v1/tts` has no documented streaming flag; do not invent one.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add cursor/plugins/add-read-aloud@sha256:5b11114611f0950e

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260908.2b8ae2e, 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.
