# hermes-voicebox [Voicebox](https://voicebox.sh) TTS + STT providers for [Hermes Agent](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent) — voice cloning and Whisper transcription, fully local. Once selected, Hermes's entire voice pipeline runs through the Voicebox app on your machine: - **Voice out** — spoken replies in the CLI/TUI and voice bubbles on Telegram/Discord/WhatsApp/Slack/Signal are synthesized in one of your cloned or preset Voicebox voices. No ElevenLabs key, no cloud. - **Voice in** — incoming voice messages and push-to-talk recordings are transcribed by the Whisper models bundled with Voicebox. Audio never leaves your machine. - **Bundled skill** — teaches the agent when speaking aloud is appropriate, how to pick voices, and to recall your dictated [Captures](https://docs.voicebox.sh/overview/captures) through Voicebox's MCP server. ## What this actually does Hermes already has voice features out of the box — it can speak replies aloud, send voice bubbles, and transcribe voice memos people send it. Those features need an engine to do the audio work, and Hermes ships with cloud defaults: Microsoft Edge TTS for speaking, Groq/OpenAI Whisper for transcribing. **This plugin adds no new features. It swaps the engine behind the existing ones** — like changing your default printer. Two before/after examples: - *Someone sends your Hermes bot a voice memo on Telegram.* Hermes must transcribe it before the model can read it. Without this plugin, the audio is uploaded to Groq's or OpenAI's servers. With it, Hermes posts the file to your running Voicebox app and local Whisper transcribes it — the audio never leaves your machine. - *Hermes speaks a reply* (voice mode, or a voice bubble in chat). Without this plugin: a stock Microsoft voice. With it: your cloned Voicebox profile. Note what's absent from both: the agent deciding anything. Transcription happens before the model runs; synthesis happens after it's done. This is pipeline plumbing, not a tool the model calls — which is why MCP can't do this job. The complement is Voicebox's built-in [MCP server](https://docs.voicebox.sh/overview/mcp-server), which covers the *deliberate* voice actions ("read that back in Morgan's voice", "what did I dictate this morning?") as tools the agent chooses to call. Connect both for the full experience: | | MCP server | This plugin | |---|---|---| | What it adds | New tools the agent can *choose* to call | Nothing visible — reroutes existing plumbing | | Speak / transcribe when | The model decides to | Hermes's pipeline needs it (always) | | Setup | `hermes mcp install voicebox` | `pip install hermes-voicebox` + two config lines | ## Requirements - [Voicebox](https://voicebox.sh) running locally (desktop app, or Docker on `127.0.0.1:17600`) - Hermes Agent, Python 3.11+ ## Install **Pip (recommended)** — into the same environment Hermes runs in: ```bash pip install hermes-voicebox ``` (Or straight from git: `pip install git+https://github.com/jamiepine/hermes-voicebox`) Hermes auto-discovers the plugin through its `hermes_agent.plugins` entry point on next startup. **Directory install** — no pip: ```bash git clone https://github.com/jamiepine/hermes-voicebox /tmp/hermes-voicebox cp -r /tmp/hermes-voicebox/hermes_voicebox ~/.hermes/plugins/voicebox hermes plugins enable voicebox ``` ## Configure In `~/.hermes/config.yaml`: ```yaml tts: provider: voicebox stt: provider: voicebox ``` And optionally connect Voicebox's MCP server for agent-invoked tools: ```yaml mcp_servers: voicebox: url: "http://127.0.0.1:17493/mcp" headers: X-Voicebox-Client-Id: "hermes" ``` Voice selection: `tts.voice` (or the tool's `voice` argument) accepts a Voicebox profile **name or id**; with nothing set, your first profile is used. Pass a Voicebox engine id (`qwen`, `kokoro`, `chatterbox`, …) as the Hermes `model` to override the profile's default engine. Running Voicebox somewhere other than the desktop app's default port: ```bash export VOICEBOX_BASE_URL=http://127.0.0.1:17600 # e.g. Docker ``` ## Behavior notes - Voicebox must be running — the desktop app only serves the API while open. Both providers health-check live, so Hermes's picker reflects reality. - First generation after app start is slower while the TTS engine loads; first transcription with a new Whisper size triggers a background download and returns a friendly "try again in a minute". ## Development ```bash pip install -e ".[dev]" pytest ``` Tests are fully offline (HTTP mocked) and run without hermes-agent installed — minimal ABC stubs matching the Hermes provider contracts are used when the real ones aren't importable. ## Docs - [Voicebox × Hermes integration guide](https://docs.voicebox.sh/overview/hermes-agent) - Provider contracts: `agent/tts_provider.py` and `agent/transcription_provider.py` in [hermes-agent](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent) (this plugin implements both ABCs) ## License MIT
