A voice-selection guide for Kokoro text-to-speech, a system that reads text aloud. It lists available voices by language, region, and voice name for use with `speak()`.

Use it when selecting or changing the voice used to read text aloud, including English, Hindi, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, and Mandarin voices.

It makes it clear which voice identifiers can be chosen instead of requiring users to remember the naming scheme. It also supports confirming a requested voice or asking the user to choose one.

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	$0.00010	$0.00500
Opus 5.5	$0.00004	$0.00200
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00002	$0.00100
Haiku 4.5	$0.00001	$0.00050

Measured 2mo ago against content hash aa431f26d0c6, method: parsed. Prices are Anthropic first-party input rates as of 2026-10-07, from the pricing page.

Security

Grade A, and why

voice 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 2mo 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.

Voice naming convention

First letter = language (a=American, b=British, h=Hindi, etc.)
Second letter = gender (f=female, m=male)
Rest = voice name

Once the user picks a voice, demonstrate it by calling speak() with a short sample sentence using that voice. Remind them they can change it anytime with /voice.

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.
