Summary
This wraps the ElevenLabs API for text-to-speech with seven preset voices (rachel, adam, bella, and others) and sensible defaults so you don't have to look up voice IDs every time. You get direct Python module access or command line usage, with controls for stability and similarity boost if you need to tune expressiveness versus consistency. The script handles directory creation and returns absolute paths, which is thoughtful. It's straightforward integration work: drop your API key in the env file and you're generating audio files. Good for prototyping voice features or batch generating narration without building the API wrapper yourself.

ElevenLabs Text-to-Speech
Overview
Generate professional audio files from text using ElevenLabs' advanced text-to-speech API. The skill provides pre-configured voice presets with sensible defaults, voice parameter customization, and direct access to the scripts/elevenlabs_tts.py script for programmatic control.
Quick Start
To generate audio from text:
- Ensure the
.envfile contains a validELEVENLABS_API_KEY - Execute the script with text:
python scripts/elevenlabs_tts.py "Your text here" - Specify voice and output:
python scripts/elevenlabs_tts.py "Text" --voice adam --output audio/output.mp3
Voice Presets
Seven pre-configured voices are available. See references/api_reference.md for complete voice descriptions:
rachel(default) - Clear, professional femaleadam- Deep, authoritative malebella- Warm, friendly femaleelli- Young, enthusiastic femalejosh- Friendly, conversational malearnold- Deep, powerful maleava- Expressive, dynamic female
Parameters
Text
The text to convert to speech. Any length is supported.
Voice Selection
Specify voice using preset name (e.g., rachel, adam) or direct ElevenLabs voice ID.
Voice Parameters
- stability (0.0-1.0, default 0.5): Lower values create expressive variation; higher values ensure consistency
- similarity_boost (0.0-1.0, default 0.75): Higher values maintain closer adherence to voice characteristics
Output
Specify the output file path. Default is output.mp3. Directories are created automatically.
Usage Examples
Basic Python Usage
from scripts.elevenlabs_tts import generate_speech
path = generate_speech(
text="Hello, this is a test message",
voice_id="rachel"
)
Command Line
# With default voice
python scripts/elevenlabs_tts.py "Generate this text"
# With custom voice and stability
python scripts/elevenlabs_tts.py "Different voice" --voice adam --stability 0.7
# To custom output path
python scripts/elevenlabs_tts.py "Save here" --output audio/narration.mp3
# List available voices
python scripts/elevenlabs_tts.py "" --list-voices
Implementation Notes
- The script handles API communication with error reporting
- Output directories are created automatically if they don't exist
- Returns absolute path to generated audio file
- Uses
eleven_monolingual_v1model by default (can be overridden)
