The current provider set is intentionally small: - **Qwen-TTS** through Alibaba Cloud Model Studio / DashScope, with region-aware endpoints, official language selection, instruct-model guidance, and the current system voice catalog. - **MiMo** through Xiaomi MiMo Token Plan. - **OpenAI** through the OpenAI Speech API. The extension focuses on everyday reading and quick voice testing rather than full audio production. It provides shared quick-read commands, provider-specific voice pickers, focused setup for defaults, playback speed controls, status menu-bar items, and local verification scripts for provider routing and playback behavior. #### Commands | Command | Provider | Purpose | | ----------------------------- | ---------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Quick Read | Default provider | Reads selected text, or clipboard text if no selection is available. Running it again stops playback. | | Setup Voice Defaults | All | Chooses the default provider and provider-specific model, voice, speed, and advanced defaults. | | Test Voice Setup | Default provider | Synthesizes and plays a short sample to check credentials, latency, and playback. | | Quick Read with Qwen-TTS | Qwen-TTS | Reads selected or clipboard text with the configured Qwen-TTS voice. | | Read with Qwen-TTS Voice | Qwen-TTS | Browses Qwen-TTS voices before reading. | | Set Qwen-TTS Quick Read Voice | Qwen-TTS | Sets the Qwen-TTS voice used by Quick Read. | | Qwen-TTS Reading Status | Qwen-TTS | Shows Qwen-TTS playback status and controls in the menu bar. | | TTS Studio | MiMo | Generates MiMo speech from typed, selected, or pasted text. | | Quick Read with MiMo | MiMo | Reads selected or clipboard text with the configured MiMo voice. | | Read with MiMo Voice | MiMo | Browses MiMo voices before reading. | | Set MiMo Quick Read Voice | MiMo | Sets the MiMo voice used by Quick Read. | | MiMo Reading Status | MiMo | Shows MiMo playback status and controls in the menu bar. | | OpenAI TTS Studio | OpenAI | Generates OpenAI speech with voice, tone, delivery, and style controls. | | Quick Read with OpenAI | OpenAI | Reads selected or clipboard text with the configured OpenAI voice. | | Read with OpenAI Voice | OpenAI | Browses OpenAI voices before reading. | | Set OpenAI Quick Read Voice | OpenAI | Sets the OpenAI voice used by Quick Read. | | OpenAI Reading Status | OpenAI | Shows OpenAI playback status and controls in the menu bar. | | Stop Reading | All | Stops current playback across providers. | | Increase Reading Speed | Default provider | Raises playback speed by one step. | | Decrease Reading Speed | Default provider | Lowers playback speed by one step. | #### Credentials Configure credentials in Raycast extension preferences: - DashScope API Key for Qwen-TTS. - MiMo Token Plan API Key. - OpenAI API Key. Provider defaults live in `Setup Voice Defaults` instead of command-level preferences, so the Raycast sidebar stays focused on credentials only. #### Qwen-TTS The Qwen-TTS integration uses Alibaba Cloud's non-realtime HTTP generation endpoint. It downloads the returned 24-hour audio URL when DashScope returns a URL instead of inline audio data, then plays chunks through the shared lookahead playback engine. Qwen defaults to `qwen3-tts-flash` for low-latency everyday reading. `qwen3-tts-instruct-flash` is available when narration instructions are needed, including the optional DashScope `optimize_instructions` flag. Region presets cover Beijing and Singapore endpoints, while Custom Endpoint remains available for advanced DashScope-compatible routing. #### Development ```bash npm install npm run verify ``` Useful targeted checks: ```bash npm run verify:runtime npm run verify:provider-settings npm run verify:provider-contracts npm run verify:pipeline-lookahead npm run verify:audio-player ``` `npm run verify` runs the runtime checks, provider setting checks, provider contract mocks, live-smoke guardrails, pipeline lookahead checks, audio-player regressions, build, lint, TypeScript, audit, and local verification evidence write. #### 中文说明 AI Voice Studio 是一个 Raycast 语音朗读扩展，用于把选中文本、剪贴板文本或手动输入文本交给 AI TTS provider 朗读。 当前只保留三条 provider 路线： - **Qwen-TTS**：通过 Alibaba Cloud Model Studio / DashScope，支持 region-aware endpoint、官方语种选择、Instruct 模型指令控制和当前系统音色目录。 - **MiMo**：通过 Xiaomi MiMo Token Plan。 - **OpenAI**：通过 OpenAI Speech API。 这个扩展的目标不是做完整音频工作站，而是把日常朗读、声音选择、默认设置、速度控制和快速自检做稳。各 provider 的设置集中在 `Setup Voice Defaults`，Raycast 扩展偏好里只保留 API key。 开发与验证： ```bash npm install npm run verify ```
