Built-in skill

Text to Speech

Media

Speak text with a voice on your device or save the spoken result as an audio file.

  • Android — supported
  • iPhone — supported
  • Mac — not available

The plain one: speak text on the device, or write it to an audio file. No key, no account, no provider, which is exactly why it still works when ElevenLabs is not set up.
