# sag Use `sag` for ElevenLabs TTS with local playback. API key (required) - `ELEVENLABS_API_KEY` (preferred) - `SAG_API_KEY` also supported by the CLI Quick start - `sag "Hello there"` - `sag speak -v "Roger" "Hello"` - `sag voices` - `sag prompting` (model-specific tips) Model notes - Default: `eleven_v3` (expressive) - Stable: `eleven_multilingual_v2` - Fast: `eleven_flash_v2_5` Pronunciation + delivery rules - First fix: respell (e.g. "key-note"), add hyphens, adjust casing. - Numbers/units/URLs: `--normalize auto` (or `off` if it harms names). - Language bias: `--lang en|de|fr|...` to guide normalization. - v3: SSML `<break>` not supported; use `[pause]`, `[short pause]`, `[long pause]`. - v2/v2.5: SSML `<break time="1.5s" />` supported; `<phoneme>` not exposed in `sag`. v3 audio tags (put at the entrance of a line) - `[whispers]`, `[shouts]`, `[sings]` - `[laughs]`, `[starts laughing]`, `[sighs]`, `[exhales]` - `[sarcastic]`, `[curious]`, `[excited]`, `[crying]`, `[mischievously]` - Example: `sag "[whispers] keep this quiet. [short pause] ok?"` Voice defaults - `ELEVENLABS_VOICE_ID` or `SAG_VOICE_ID` Confirm voice + speaker before long output. ## Chat voice responses When Peter asks for a "voice" reply (e.g., "crazy scientist voice", "explain in voice"), generate audio and send it: ```bash # Generate audio file sag -v Atlas -o /tmp/voice-reply.mp3 "Your message here" # Then include in reply: # MEDIA:/tmp/voice-reply.mp3 ``` Voice character tips: - Crazy scientist: Use `[excited]` tags, dramatic pauses `[short pause]`, vary intensity - Calm: Use `[whispers]` or slower pacing - Dramatic: Use `[sings]` or `[shouts]` sparingly Default voice for Atlas: `lj2rcrvANS3gaWWnczSX` (or just `-v Atlas`)
