Two parallel atomars in the kei-buddy phase-1 plan. Mirror each other's
architecture: trait + feature-gated backend modules + env-driven dispatch
+ wiremock tests for HTTP backends + subprocess-error test for local.
## kei-tts (text-to-speech)
LOC: 959 across 15 files (largest src/lib.rs 121).
Trait `TtsBackend` + 4 backends behind feature flags:
* elevenlabs — POST api.elevenlabs.io/v1/text-to-speech/{voice}/stream
* openai — POST api.openai.com/v1/audio/speech (tts-1, tts-1-hd)
* google — POST texttospeech.googleapis.com/v1/text:synthesize
(Wavenet voices, base64 audioContent)
* piper — local subprocess to piper-tts binary, raw PCM out
Default features: ["piper"]. all-backends feature gates the rest.
`from_env()` reads KEI_TTS_BACKEND (default piper). Returns Box<dyn TtsBackend>.
Tests: 9 passed (env routing + 3 wiremock backends + piper subprocess error).
## kei-stt (speech-to-text)
LOC: 935 across 13 files (largest whisper_local.rs 181).
Trait `SttBackend` + 3 backends:
* whisper-local — subprocess to `whisper` CLI / faster-whisper,
reads JSON output, parses segments
* deepgram — POST api.deepgram.com/v1/listen (Token auth header,
raw audio body, parses words → Segments)
* openai-whisper — POST api.openai.com/v1/audio/transcriptions
(multipart file + model=whisper-1 +
response_format=verbose_json)
Default features: ["whisper-local"]. all-backends gates the rest.
`from_env()` reads KEI_STT_BACKEND (default whisper-local).
Tests: 10 passed + 1 doc-test (env routing + 5 wiremock + 2 JSON parsers
+ 1 subprocess error + 1 auth-header check).
## Common architecture decisions
* `with_base_url(url)` constructor on each HTTP backend for wiremock
testability — same pattern as kei-llm-router and kei-notify-telegram.
* `tempfile` crate added to kei-stt for whisper-local audio scratch.
* `base64 = { version = "0.22", optional = true }` in kei-tts for
Google's base64-encoded audioContent.
## Verify-before-commit (RULE 0.13 §)
* cargo check -p kei-tts (default + all-backends): PASS
* cargo check -p kei-stt (default + all-backends): PASS
* cargo test -p kei-tts --features all-backends --lib: 9/0
* cargo test -p kei-stt --features all-backends --lib: 10/0
* cargo check --workspace: PASS
STATUS-TRUTH from both agents: shipped=functional, stubs=0,
behaviour-verified=yes.
## Follow-up (deferred, non-blocking)
* Real backend verification needs API keys for ElevenLabs / OpenAI /
Google / Deepgram and piper-tts binary + .onnx model on PATH.
* whisper-local language_detected always None — whisper CLI JSON
schema differs across versions, parse heuristic to be added.
* faster-whisper has different JSON schema from openai-whisper;
current parser covers openai-whisper convention only.

# kei-tts
|
||
|
||
Text-to-speech abstraction crate with 4 backends selected at runtime via
|
||
`KEI_TTS_BACKEND`. Default backend is **piper** (local, free, zero latency).
|
||
|
||
## Backend matrix
|
||
|
||
| Backend | Feature flag | Cost | Latency | Quality | Language coverage |
|
||
|-------------|---------------|-------------|------------|-----------|-------------------|
|
||
| `piper` | `piper` | Free | ~50–200 ms | Good | 20+ language packs |
|
||
| `elevenlabs`| `elevenlabs` | ~$0.30/1k ch| 300–600 ms | Excellent | 30+ languages |
|
||
| `openai` | `openai` | ~$0.015/1k ch| 200–500 ms| Very good | 50+ languages |
|
||
| `google` | `google` | ~$4/1M ch | 200–400 ms | Very good | 40+ languages |
|
||
|
||
## Environment variables
|
||
|
||
| Variable | Backend | Required | Description |
|
||
|-------------------------|-------------|----------|------------------------------------|
|
||
| `KEI_TTS_BACKEND` | all | No | `piper` (default) / `elevenlabs` / `openai` / `google` |
|
||
| `ELEVENLABS_API_KEY` | elevenlabs | Yes | ElevenLabs API key |
|
||
| `OPENAI_API_KEY` | openai | Yes | OpenAI API key |
|
||
| `KEI_TTS_OPENAI_MODEL` | openai | No | `tts-1` (default) or `tts-1-hd` |
|
||
| `GOOGLE_TTS_API_KEY` | google | Yes | Google Cloud API key |
|
||
| `KEI_TTS_PIPER_MODEL` | piper | Yes | Path to `.onnx` piper model file |
|
||
| `KEI_TTS_PIPER_BINARY` | piper | No | Path to `piper-tts` (default: PATH)|
|
||
|
||
## Usage
|
||
|
||
```toml
|
||
[dependencies]
|
||
kei-tts = { path = "../kei-tts", features = ["piper"] }
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
```rust
|
||
#[tokio::main]
|
||
async fn main() -> Result<(), kei_tts::TtsError> {
|
||
let backend = kei_tts::from_env()?;
|
||
let req = kei_tts::TtsRequest::new("Hello, world!");
|
||
let resp = backend.synth(&req).await?;
|
||
std::fs::write("out.mp3", &resp.audio_bytes).ok();
|
||
println!("synthesised {} bytes via {}", resp.audio_bytes.len(), backend.name());
|
||
Ok(())
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Compile-time features
|
||
|
||
```toml
|
||
# All backends:
|
||
kei-tts = { features = ["all-backends"] }
|
||
# Cloud only, no piper:
|
||
kei-tts = { features = ["elevenlabs", "openai", "google"], default-features = false }
|
||
```
