What this skill does
This skill converts text into speech using Deepdub and returns an audio file
as a MEDIA: attachment that OpenClaw can send to channels like Telegram.
Requirements
- Python 3.9+
- Deepdub API access
Permissions
This skill requires permission to:
- Execute
deepdub_tts.py(the bundled script) - Write audio files to
OPENCLAW_MEDIA_DIRonly (output path cannot be overridden via CLI arguments)
