What this skill does

This skill converts text into speech using Deepdub and returns an audio file as a MEDIA: attachment that OpenClaw can send to channels like Telegram.

Requirements

  • Python 3.9+
  • Deepdub API access

Permissions

This skill requires permission to:

  • Execute deepdub_tts.py (the bundled script)
  • Write audio files to OPENCLAW_MEDIA_DIR only (output path cannot be overridden via CLI arguments)

Setup

Set the following environment variables where OpenClaw runs:

Required:

  • DEEPDUB_API_KEY – your Deepdub API key
  • DEEPDUB_VOICE_PROMPT_ID – default voice prompt to use

Optional:

  • DEEPDUB_LOCALE (default: en-US)
  • DEEPDUB_MODEL
  • OPENCLAW_MEDIA_DIR (default: /tmp/openclaw_media)
