Text-to-speech conversion using GLM-TTS service via the `uvx zai-tts` command for generating audio from text. Use when (1) User requests audio/voice output with the "tts" trigger or keyword. (2) Content needs to be spoken rather than read (multitasking, accessibility, podcast, driving, cooking). (3) Using pre-cloned voices for speech.
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
# Zai-TTS
Generate high-quality text-to-speech audio using GLM-TTS service via the `uvx zai-tts` command.
Before using this skill, you need to configure the environment variables `ZAI_AUDIO_USERID` and `ZAI_AUDIO_TOKEN`,
which can be obtained by login `audio.z.ai` and executing `localStorage['auth-storage']` in the console via F12 Developer Tools.
## Usage
```shell
uvx zai-tts -t "{msg}" -o {tempdir}/{filename}.wav
uvx zai-tts -f path/to/file.txt -o {tempdir}/{filename}.wav
```
## Changing speed, volume
```shell
uvx zai-tts -t "{msg}" -o {tempdir}/{filename}.wav --speed 1.5
uvx zai-tts -t "{msg}" -o {tempdir}/{filename}.wav --speed 1.5 --volume 2
```
## Changing the voice
```shell
uvx zai-tts -t "{msg}" -o {tempdir}/{filename}.wav --voice system_002
```
## Available voices
`system_001`: Lila. A cheerful, standard-pronunciation female voice
`system_002`: Chloe. A gentle, elegant, intelligent female voice
`system_003`: Ethan. A sunny, standard-pronunciation male voice
Retrieve all available voices using shell commands:
```shell
uvx zai-tts -l
```
If you want to use custom voices, please complete voice cloning on the website `audio.z.ai` first.Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add aahl/skills/zai-tts@sha256:c42faa51bcd1b517The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260306.aeb76c1, 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.
