9router-tts

9router-tts is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from decolua/9router. It costs 70 tokens per session (988 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A text-to-speech connection for 9Router, which turns written text into spoken audio. You choose a model or voice and receive an audio file or encoded audio data.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for voiceovers, narration, reading text aloud, or generating spoken audio from application content. It can return MP3 data or JSON containing encoded audio.
Why use it?
It removes the need to integrate each speech provider separately when an application needs spoken output. The same endpoint can use voices from several supported providers.

About the project

9Router routes requests from coding tools such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and Cline to AI models from many providers. Developers use it to reduce token usage, track subscription capacity, and switch automatically between subscription, cheap, and free models. The catalogue includes nine skills and one instruction for 9Router.

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

9router-tts scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 81 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

9Router — Text-to-Speech

Requires NINEROUTER_URL (and NINEROUTER_KEY if auth enabled). See https://raw.githubusercontent.com/decolua/9router/refs/heads/master/skills/9router/SKILL.md for setup.

Discover

# 1) List models
curl $NINEROUTER_URL/v1/models/tts | jq '.data[].id'
# 2) Per-model metadata (params, voicesUrl if voice-by-id)
curl "$NINEROUTER_URL/v1/models/info?id=el/eleven_multilingual_v2"
# 3) List voices (elevenlabs, edge-tts, deepgram, inworld, local-device). Optional ?lang=vi
curl "$NINEROUTER_URL/v1/audio/voices?provider=edge-tts&lang=vi" | jq '.data[].model'

model field in /v1/audio/speech = voice ID directly (e.g. edge-tts/vi-VN-HoaiMyNeural, el/<voice_id>, or openai/tts-1 model+default voice).

Endpoint

POST $NINEROUTER_URL/v1/audio/speech

Field Required Notes
model yes voice ID from /v1/models/tts
input yes text to speak

Query ?response_format=mp3 (default, raw bytes) or ?response_format=json ({audio: base64, format}).

Examples

Save MP3:

curl -X POST "$NINEROUTER_URL/v1/audio/speech" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $NINEROUTER_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model":"openai/tts-1","input":"Hello world"}' \
  --output speech.mp3

JS (save file):

import { writeFile } from "node:fs/promises";
const r = await fetch(`${process.env.NINEROUTER_URL}/v1/audio/speech`, {
  method: "POST",
  headers: { "Authorization": `Bearer ${process.env.NINEROUTER_KEY}`, "Content-Type": "application/json" },
  body: JSON.stringify({ model: "el/eleven_multilingual_v2", input: "Xin chào" }),
});
await writeFile("speech.mp3", Buffer.from(await r.arrayBuffer()));

Response shape

Default → raw audio bytes (Content-Type audio/mp3).

?response_format=json:

{ "audio": "SUQzBAAAA...", "format": "mp3" }

Provider quirks (model format)

Provider model format Notes
openai tts-1/alloy (model/voice) or just voice Default model gpt-4o-mini-tts
elevenlabs <model_id>/<voice_id> or <voice_id> Default model eleven_flash_v2_5; list voices in Dashboard
openrouter openai/gpt-4o-mini-tts/alloy Streamed via chat-completions audio modality
edge-tts voice id e.g. vi-VN-HoaiMyNeural noAuth; default vi-VN-HoaiMyNeural
google-tts language code e.g. en, vi noAuth
local-device OS voice name (say -v ? / SAPI) noAuth; needs ffmpeg
deepgram aura-asteria-en etc Token auth
nvidia, inworld, cartesia, playht model/voice Provider-specific auth header
coqui, tortoise speaker / voice id Localhost noAuth
hyperbolic model id Body = {text} only

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.
