## Implementation
### Option A: Local Piper (Sovereign)
```python
#!/usr/bin/env python3
"""Piper TTS integration for Deep Dive Phase 4."""
import subprocess
import tempfile
import os
from pathlib import Path
class PiperTTS:
"""Local TTS using Piper (sovereign, no API calls)."""
def __init__(self, model_path: str = None):
self.model_path = model_path or self._download_default_model()
self.config_path = self.model_path.replace(".onnx", ".onnx.json")
def _download_default_model(self) -> str:
"""Download default en_US voice model (~2GB)."""
model_dir = Path.home() / ".local/share/piper"
model_dir.mkdir(parents=True, exist_ok=True)
model_file = model_dir / "en_US-lessac-medium.onnx"
config_file = model_dir / "en_US-lessac-medium.onnx.json"
if not model_file.exists():
print("Downloading Piper voice model (~2GB)...")
base_url = "https://huggingface.co/rhasspy/piper-voices/resolve/v1.0.0/en/en_US/lessac/medium"
subprocess.run([
"wget", "-O", str(model_file),
f"{base_url}/en_US-lessac-medium.onnx"
], check=True)
subprocess.run([
"wget", "-O", str(config_file),
f"{base_url}/en_US-lessac-medium.onnx.json"
], check=True)
return str(model_file)
def synthesize(self, text: str, output_path: str) -> str:
"""Convert text to speech."""
# Split long text into chunks (Piper handles ~400 chars well)
chunks = self._chunk_text(text, max_chars=400)
with tempfile.TemporaryDirectory() as tmpdir:
chunk_files = []
for i, chunk in enumerate(chunks):
chunk_wav = f"{tmpdir}/chunk_{i:03d}.wav"
self._synthesize_chunk(chunk, chunk_wav)
chunk_files.append(chunk_wav)
# Concatenate chunks
concat_list = f"{tmpdir}/concat.txt"
with open(concat_list, 'w') as f:
for cf in chunk_files:
f.write(f"file '{cf}'\n")
# Final output
subprocess.run([
"ffmpeg", "-y", "-f", "concat", "-safe", "0",
"-i", concat_list,
"-c:a", "libmp3lame", "-q:a", "4",
output_path
], check=True, capture_output=True)
return output_path
def _chunk_text(self, text: str, max_chars: int = 400) -> list:
"""Split text at sentence boundaries."""
sentences = text.replace('. ', '.|').replace('! ', '!|').replace('? ', '?|').split('|')
chunks = []
current = ""
for sent in sentences:
if len(current) + len(sent) < max_chars:
current += sent + " "
else:
if current:
chunks.append(current.strip())
current = sent + " "
if current:
chunks.append(current.strip())
return chunks
def _synthesize_chunk(self, text: str, output_wav: str):
"""Synthesize single chunk."""
subprocess.run([
"piper", "--model", self.model_path,
"--config", self.config_path,
"--output_file", output_wav
], input=text.encode(), check=True)
# Usage example
if __name__ == "__main__":
tts = PiperTTS()
briefing_text = """
Good morning. Today\'s Deep Dive covers three papers from arXiv.
First, a new approach to reinforcement learning from human feedback.
Second, advances in quantized model inference for edge deployment.
Third, a survey of multi-agent coordination protocols.
"""
output = tts.synthesize(briefing_text, "daily_briefing.mp3")
print(f"Generated: {output}")
```
### Option B: ElevenLabs API (Quality)
```python
#!/usr/bin/env python3
"""ElevenLabs TTS integration for Deep Dive Phase 4."""
import os
import requests
from pathlib import Path
class ElevenLabsTTS:
"""Cloud TTS using ElevenLabs API."""
API_BASE = "https://api.elevenlabs.io/v1"
def __init__(self, api_key: str = None):
self.api_key = api_key or os.getenv("ELEVENLABS_API_KEY")
if not self.api_key:
raise ValueError("ElevenLabs API key required")
# Rachel voice (professional, clear)
self.voice_id = "21m00Tcm4TlvDq8ikWAM"
def synthesize(self, text: str, output_path: str) -> str:
"""Convert text to speech via ElevenLabs."""
url = f"{self.API_BASE}/text-to-speech/{self.voice_id}"
headers = {
"Accept": "audio/mpeg",
"Content-Type": "application/json",
"xi-api-key": self.api_key
}
# ElevenLabs handles long text natively (up to ~5000 chars)
data = {
"text": text,
"model_id": "eleven_monolingual_v1",
"voice_settings": {
"stability": 0.5,
"similarity_boost": 0.75
}
}
response = requests.post(url, json=data, headers=headers)
response.raise_for_status()
with open(output_path, 'wb') as f:
f.write(response.content)
return output_path
# Usage example
if __name__ == "__main__":
tts = ElevenLabsTTS()
briefing_text = "Your daily intelligence briefing..."
output = tts.synthesize(briefing_text, "daily_briefing.mp3")
print(f"Generated: {output}")
```
## Hybrid Implementation (Recommended)
```python
#!/usr/bin/env python3
"""Hybrid TTS with Piper primary, ElevenLabs fallback."""
import os
from typing import Optional
class HybridTTS:
"""TTS with sovereign default, cloud fallback."""
def __init__(self):
self.primary = None
self.fallback = None
# Try Piper first (sovereign)
try:
self.primary = PiperTTS()
print("✅ Piper TTS ready (sovereign)")
except Exception as e:
print(f"⚠️ Piper unavailable: {e}")
# Set up ElevenLabs fallback
if os.getenv("ELEVENLABS_API_KEY"):
try:
self.fallback = ElevenLabsTTS()
print("✅ ElevenLabs fallback ready")
except Exception as e:
print(f"⚠️ ElevenLabs unavailable: {e}")
def synthesize(self, text: str, output_path: str) -> str:
"""Synthesize with fallback chain."""
# Try primary
if self.primary:
try:
return self.primary.synthesize(text, output_path)
except Exception as e:
print(f"Primary TTS failed: {e}, trying fallback...")
# Try fallback
if self.fallback:
return self.fallback.synthesize(text, output_path)
raise RuntimeError("No TTS engine available")
# Integration with Deep Dive pipeline
def phase4_generate_audio(briefing_text: str, output_dir: str = "/tmp/deepdive") -> str:
"""Phase 4: Generate audio from synthesized briefing."""
os.makedirs(output_dir, exist_ok=True)
timestamp = datetime.now().strftime("%Y%m%d_%H%M%S")
output_path = f"{output_dir}/deepdive_{timestamp}.mp3"
tts = HybridTTS()
return tts.synthesize(briefing_text, output_path)
```
## Testing
```bash
# Test Piper locally
piper --model ~/.local/share/piper/en_US-lessac-medium.onnx --output_file test.wav <<EOF
This is a test of the Deep Dive text to speech system.
EOF

## Dependencies
```bash
# Piper (local)
pip install piper-tts
# Or build from source: https://github.com/rhasspy/piper
# ElevenLabs (API)
pip install elevenlabs
# Audio processing
apt install ffmpeg
```
## Voice Selection Guide
| Use Case | Piper Voice | ElevenLabs Voice | Notes |
|----------|-------------|------------------|-------|
| Daily briefing | `en_US-lessac-medium` | Rachel (21m00...) | Professional, neutral |
| Alert/urgent | `en_US-ryan-high` | Adam (pNInz6...) | Authoritative |
| Casual update | `en_US-libritts-high` | Bella (EXAVIT...) | Conversational |
