Client for the local VoiceStudio text-to-speech app (debpalash/VoiceStudio): speak short text, design or clone voices, browse voices, render chaptered long-form audio, dub videos, and check server status. Six tools with mirrored slash commands plus a bundled skill.

## Good to know before installing

Sends the text, script files, videos and voice samples you point it at to the VoiceStudio server you configure (default http://127.0.0.1:3900, plain HTTP) and saves the returned audio under HERMES_HOME/plugin-data/voicestudio; no credentials, no telemetry, no self-update.

From the plugin's catalog listing.

## 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 voicestudio
```

2. Said no? Turn it on later:

```bash
hermes plugins enable voicestudio
```

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
