Give your agent the voice it deserves. Guided TTS and STT setup for Hermes, with voice search and previews, model switching, testing, and native spoken replies across supported providers. Access 80+ speech models through a single API key with the AllModels router.

## How to install

1. Install it. Hermes asks for any API keys it needs, then asks whether to turn it on.

```bash
hermes plugins install hermes-speech
```

2. Said no? Turn it on later:

```bash
hermes plugins enable hermes-speech
```

3. Restart Hermes so it loads the plugin.

Some plugins also need a sign-in or settings: see the official page. Memory plugins ask whether to become your memory provider instead. Steps follow the official plugins guide: https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/user-guide/features/plugins
