A text-to-speech command-line tool that turns text into spoken audio using ElevenLabs and plays it locally. It supports voice selection, pronunciation guidance, language hints, and expressive delivery instructions.

Use it to read text aloud, list available voices, choose speech models, normalize numbers and URLs, and add pauses or delivery cues.

It provides spoken output from the terminal without manually opening a web interface, while giving you ways to adjust how text is pronounced and delivered.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00016	$0.00703
Opus 5.5	$0.00006	$0.00281
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00003	$0.00141
Haiku 4.5	$0.00002	$0.00070

Security

Grade A, and why

sag scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Origin

This is a copy

83% identical to sag — 15 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

What it actually says

sag

Use sag for ElevenLabs TTS with local playback.

API key (required)

ELEVENLABS_API_KEY (preferred)
SAG_API_KEY also supported by the CLI

Quick start

sag "Hello there"
sag speak -v "Roger" "Hello"
sag voices
sag prompting (model-specific tips)

Model notes

Default: eleven_v3 (expressive)
Stable: eleven_multilingual_v2
Fast: eleven_flash_v2_5

Pronunciation + delivery rules

First fix: respell (e.g. "key-note"), add hyphens, adjust casing.
Numbers/units/URLs: --normalize auto (or off if it harms names).
Language bias: --lang en|de|fr|... to guide normalization.
v3: SSML <break> not supported; use [pause], [short pause], [long pause].
v2/v2.5: SSML <break time="1.5s" /> supported; <phoneme> not exposed in sag.

v3 audio tags (put at the entrance of a line)

[whispers], [shouts], [sings]
[laughs], [starts laughing], [sighs], [exhales]
[sarcastic], [curious], [excited], [crying], [mischievously]
Example: sag "[whispers] keep this quiet. [short pause] ok?"

Voice defaults

ELEVENLABS_VOICE_ID or SAG_VOICE_ID

Confirm voice + speaker before long output.

Chat voice responses

When Peter asks for a "voice" reply (e.g., "crazy scientist voice", "explain in voice"), generate audio and send it:

# Generate audio file
sag -v Atlas -o /tmp/voice-reply.mp3 "Your message here"

# Then include in reply:
# MEDIA:/tmp/voice-reply.mp3

Voice character tips:

Crazy scientist: Use [excited] tags, dramatic pauses [short pause], vary intensity
Calm: Use [whispers] or slower pacing
Dramatic: Use [sings] or [shouts] sparingly

Default voice for Atlas: lj2rcrvANS3gaWWnczSX (or just -v Atlas)

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
