# sherpa-onnx-tts
Local TTS using the sherpa-onnx offline CLI.
## Install
1. Download the runtime for your OS (extracts into `$OPENCLAW_STATE_DIR/tools/sherpa-onnx-tts/runtime`, default `~/.openclaw/tools/sherpa-onnx-tts/runtime`)
2. Download a voice model (extracts into `$OPENCLAW_STATE_DIR/tools/sherpa-onnx-tts/models`, default `~/.openclaw/tools/sherpa-onnx-tts/models`)
Resolve the active state directory first:
```bash
STATE_DIR="${OPENCLAW_STATE_DIR:-$HOME/.openclaw}"
```
Then write those resolved paths into the active OpenClaw config file (`$OPENCLAW_CONFIG_PATH`, default `~/.openclaw/openclaw.json`):
```json5
{
skills: {
entries: {
"sherpa-onnx-tts": {
env: {
SHERPA_ONNX_RUNTIME_DIR: "/path/to/your/state-dir/tools/sherpa-onnx-tts/runtime",
SHERPA_ONNX_MODEL_DIR: "/path/to/your/state-dir/tools/sherpa-onnx-tts/models/vits-piper-en_US-lessac-high",
},
},
},
},
}
```
The wrapper lives in this skill folder. Run it directly, or add the wrapper to PATH:
```bash
export PATH="{baseDir}/bin:$PATH"
```
## Usage
```bash
{baseDir}/bin/sherpa-onnx-tts -o ./tts.wav "Hello from local TTS."
```
Notes:
- Pick a different model from the sherpa-onnx `tts-models` release if you want another voice.
- If the model dir has multiple `.onnx` files, set `SHERPA_ONNX_MODEL_FILE` or pass `--model-file`.
- You can also pass `--tokens-file` or `--data-dir` to override the defaults.
- Windows: run `node {baseDir}\\bin\\sherpa-onnx-tts -o tts.wav "Hello from local TTS."`
