Quick Start

1. Configure TTS (Tagged Mode)

Edit ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json:

json5

{
  "messages": {
    "tts": {
      "auto": "tagged",  // Changed from "always"
      "provider": "edge",
      "edge": {
        "enabled": true,
        "voice": "zh-CN-XiaoxiaoNeural",
        "lang": "zh-CN"
      }
    }
  }
}

2. Install & Start

bash

# Install skill
clawhub install tts-autoplay
cd skills/tts-autoplay

# Install
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File install.ps1

# Start with wake word detection
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File tts-autoplay-wakeword.ps1

3. Test

Text-only (default):

text

你：今天天气怎么样？
AI: [文字] 今天杭州晴朗...

Voice (with wake word):

text

你：用语音告诉我天气
AI: [语音] 今天杭州晴朗...

Usage Modes

Mode 1: Tagged Mode (Recommended)

TTS only generates audio when [[tts]] tag is present.

Config:

json

{ "messages": { "tts": { "auto": "tagged" } } }

AI Behavior:

• Detects wake words in user message
• Adds [[tts]] tag to response
• Voice is generated and played

Mode 2: Always Mode (v1.0)

TTS always generates audio for every response.

Config:

json

{ "messages": { "tts": { "auto": "always" } } }

Script Behavior:

• Script detects wake words in file path
• Only plays audio if wake word detected
• Skips playback for normal messages

Customization

Change Wake Words

Edit tts-autoplay-wakeword.ps1:

powershell

$wakeWords = @(
    "语音",
    "念出来",
    "读出来",
    "你的自定义词"  # Add your own
)

Change Detection Mode

Keyword mode (default):

powershell

# Matches if any wake word appears in filename
if ($fileName -match $word) { ... }

Exact mode:

powershell

# Only matches exact directory names
if ($file.Directory.Name -eq $word) { ... }

Add Time-Based Control

powershell

# Disable voice at night
$hour = (Get-Date).Hour
if ($hour -lt 8 -or $hour -ge 23) {
    Write-Log "Night mode: Voice disabled"
    return
}
