say11

say11 is a command-line utility that leverages Eleven Labs' text-to-speech streaming API. You can easily convert text into speech right from your terminal using this handy tool. It's perfect for developers, content creators, or anyone looking to quickly turn text into audible content.

Prerequisites

Before installing say11, ensure that you have mpv installed on your Mac. You can install it using Homebrew:

brew install mpv

pip install say11

Using say11 is incredibly simple. You can pipe text into the command from stdin, and it will use the Eleven Labs API to convert the text to speech. You can also specify a voice using the -v option.

Examples

Read from a file and convert to speech:

cat text.txt | say11 -v Nicole 

echo "hello there everyone!" | say11 -v Nicole
