# MLX TTS Text-To-Speech with MLX (Apple Silicon) and open-source models (default QWen3-TTS) locally. Free and Fast. No API key required. No server required. ## Requirements - `mlx`: macOS with Apple Silicon - `brew`: used to install deps if not available ## Installation ```bash bash ${baseDir}/install.sh ``` This script will use `brew` to install these CLI tools if not available: - `uv`: install python package and run python script - `mlx_audio`: do the real job ## Usage To generate audio from text, run this script: ```bash bash ${baseDir}/mlx-tts.sh "<text>" ``` ### Agent Instructions 1. **Run the script**: Pass the text to be spoken as an argument. 2. **Handle Output**: The script will output a path to a audio file. Use the `message` tool to send the audio file to the user as an voice message: ```json { "action": "send", "filePath": "<filepath>" } ``` Example: User: "Say hello world" Agent: 1. Runs `bash path/to/mlx-tts.sh "hello world"` 2. Receives output: `/tmp/folder/audio.ogg` 3. Calls `message(action="send", filePath="/tmp/folder/audio.ogg", ...)`
