GooDAnDReaDY/dsh-tts
Multi-provider text-to-speech with local neural engines, real-time streaming and messenger integration for DeepSeek Harness.
dsh-tts is a multi-provider text-to-speech plugin for DeepSeek Harness with real-time streaming, local neural engines, an IT dictionary and messenger integration. It runs synthesis entirely on the host backend across independent multi-provider fallback chains — including local engines such as Edge TTS, Piper and eSpeak — so API keys never reach client browsers; providers that need weights it does not bundle fail honestly and the chain continues.
Install
dsh plugin --profile web add @goodandready/dsh-ttsCopied verbatim from the README's install section (the npm badge and the installation block both name the package @goodandready/dsh-tts). The README's separate Installation Guard note refers to a companion plugin, @goodandready/dsh-voice, which is not required for the TTS plugin itself.
Compatibility
The README badge states Node 20+. Synthesis runs entirely on the host backend so API keys never reach the browser; local engines (Edge TTS, Piper, eSpeak) are supported, and neural weights for Kokoro-82M / F5-TTS can be downloaded but inference is not bundled in this package.

FAQ
- Are Kokoro and F5-TTS voices available out of the box?
- No. The README says their weights can be downloaded for future runtime support, but neural inference is not bundled in this package; enabling them without a supported runtime makes them fail with a clear reason and the fallback chain continues.
- Do I need the separate dsh-voice plugin?
- Not for TTS itself. The README's installation guard only notes that if @goodandready/dsh-voice is not present, some settings controls are disabled with an instruction banner; the TTS plugin installs with its own package.
