Pywayne Tts
PassAudited by ClawScan on May 1, 2026.
Overview
This looks like a straightforward text-to-speech skill, with the main cautions being external TTS service use and undeclared local dependencies.
This skill appears benign and purpose-aligned for text-to-speech conversion. Before installing or using it, confirm that any pywayne, gtts, and ffmpeg dependencies come from trusted sources, and avoid sending sensitive text through gTTS unless you accept third-party processing.

Using the skill may run local audio conversion commands and create audio files on your machine.
The skill describes invoking local system tools for speech generation and audio conversion, which is expected for this TTS purpose.
On macOS, prefers native 'say' command ... Uses ffmpeg to convert audio
Use it with intended output paths only, and ensure ffmpeg and any TTS tools are installed from trusted sources.
Text you convert may be sent to a third-party TTS provider when gTTS is used.
The skill discloses that text-to-speech conversion may use an external Google TTS service, meaning input text can leave the local device.
On other platforms, uses Google TTS (gTTS) service ... Requires network connection for gTTS service
Avoid using gTTS for confidential or regulated text unless you are comfortable with that provider handling the content; prefer local TTS where possible.
