Speechify
The official Speechify text-to-speech provider (tts.provider: speechify), maintained by Speechify. Simba 3.5 voices in 48 languages with low-latency streaming in voice mode, Opus voice notes for messaging platforms, and a hermes speechify command to list voices and hear a test line.
Good to know before installing
Sends the text being spoken, the chosen voice and model, the plugin's name and version (Speechify-Caller attribution headers), and your SPEECHIFY_API_KEY to api.speechify.ai (or the base_url / SPEECHIFY_BASE_URL you configure); synthesis is billed to your Speechify workspace; generated audio is written to Hermes's audio cache; no tools, hooks or middleware; no telemetry.
From the plugin's catalog listing.
How to install
- Install it. Hermes asks for any API keys it needs (this one needs
SPEECHIFY_API_KEY), then asks whether to turn it on.hermes plugins install speechify - Said no? Turn it on later:
hermes plugins enable speechify - Restart Hermes so it loads the plugin.
Some plugins also need a sign-in or settings: see Full setup & settings. Memory plugins ask whether to become your memory provider instead. Steps follow the official plugins guide (opens in a new tab).
