- Download a voice model (extracts into
~/.the assistant/tools/sherpa-onnx-tts/models)
Update ~/.the assistant/the assistant.json:
{
skills: {
entries: {
"sherpa-onnx-tts": {
env: {
SHERPA_ONNX_RUNTIME_DIR: "~/.the assistant/tools/sherpa-onnx-tts/runtime",
SHERPA_ONNX_MODEL_DIR: "~/.the assistant/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:
export PATH="{skillDir}/bin:$PATH"
Usage
{skillDir}/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 {skillDir}\\bin\\sherpa-onnx-tts -o tts.wav "Hello from local TTS."
