CLI tool for running text through the [OpenAI Text to speech](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/text-to-speech) API and speaking or saving the result

## Installation

Install this tool using `pipx`:

    pipx install ospeak

## Usage

To get your computer to say something, run:

    ospeak "Hello there"

You will need an OpenAI API key. You can set that as an environment variable:

    export OPENAI_API_KEY='...'

Or you can pass it using `--token`:

    ospeak --token '...' "Hello there"

You can pipe content into the tool:

    echo "Hello there" | ospeak

Use `-v/--voice VOICE` to select a voice. The default is `alloy`. The other options are:

- `echo`
- `fable`
- `onyx`
- `nova`
- `shimmer`

You can pass `-v all` to hear all of the voices, each with the name of the voice spoken first.

    ospeak 'This is my voice' -v all

To write the audio to a file, pass `-o/--output` with a filename ending in either `.mp3` or `.wav`:

    ospeak 'This is my voice' -o voice.mp3

This will not speak out loud. If you want it to also speak, add the `-s/--speak` option:

    ospeak 'This is my voice' -o voice.mp3 -s

## ospeak --help
