CloneV Skill - Voice Cloning Made Simple
โ ๏ธ CRITICAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR AI MODELS
DO NOT try to use Docker containers directly.
DO NOT try to interact with coqui-xtts container - it is broken and restarting.
DO NOT try to use APIs or servers.
ONLY USE THE SCRIPT: scripts/clonev.sh
The script handles everything automatically. Just call it with text, voice sample, and language.
What This Skill Does
Clones any voice from a short audio sample and generates new speech in that voice.
Input:
- Text to speak
- Voice sample (WAV file, 6-30 seconds)
- Language code
Output: OGG voice file (cloned voice speaking the text)
Works with: Any voice! Yours, a celebrity, a character, etc.
The ONE Command You Need
$(scripts/clonev.sh "Your text here" /path/to/voice_sample.wav language)
That's it! Nothing else needed.
Step-by-Step Usage (FOR AI MODELS)
Step 1: Get the required inputs
- Text to speak (from user)
- Path to voice sample WAV file (from user)
- Language code (from user or default to
en)
Step 2: Run the script
VOICE_FILE=$(scripts/clonev.sh "TEXT_HERE" "/path/to/sample.wav" LANGUAGE)
Step 3: Use the output
The variable $VOICE_FILE now contains the path to the generated OGG file.
Complete Working Examples
Example 1: Clone voice and send to Telegram
# Generate cloned voice
VOICE=$(/home/bernie/clawd/skills/clonev/scripts/clonev.sh "Hello, this is my cloned voice!" "/mnt/c/TEMP/Recording 25.wav" en)
# Send to Telegram (as voice message)
message action=send channel=telegram asVoice=true filePath="$VOICE"
Example 2: Clone voice in Czech
# Generate Czech voice
VOICE=$(/home/bernie/clawd/skills/clonev/scripts/clonev.sh "Ahoj, tohle je mลฏj hlas" "/mnt/c/TEMP/Recording 25.wav" cs)
# Send
message action=send channel=telegram asVoice=true filePath="$VOICE"
Example 3: Full workflow with check
#!/bin/bash
# Generate voice
VOICE=$(/home/bernie/clawd/skills/clonev/scripts/clonev.sh "Task completed!" "/path/to/sample.wav" en)
# Verify file was created
if [ -f "$VOICE" ]; then
echo "Success! Voice file: $VOICE"
ls -lh "$VOICE"
else
echo "Error: Voice file not created"
fi

Voice Sample Requirements
- Format: WAV file
- Length: 6-30 seconds (optimal: 10-15 seconds)
- Quality: Clear audio, no background noise
- Content: Any speech (the actual words don't matter)
Good samples:
- โ Recording of someone speaking clearly
- โ No music or noise in background
- โ Consistent volume
Bad samples:
- โ Music or songs
- โ Heavy background noise
- โ Very short (< 6 seconds)
- โ Very long (> 30 seconds)
โ ๏ธ Important Notes
Model Download
- First use downloads ~1.87GB model (one-time)
- Model is stored at:
/mnt/c/TEMP/Docker-containers/coqui-tts/models-xtts/ - Status: โ Already downloaded
Processing Time
- Takes 20-40 seconds depending on text length
- This is normal - voice cloning is computationally intensive
Troubleshooting
"Command not found"
Make sure you're in the skill directory or use full path:
/home/bernie/clawd/skills/clonev/scripts/clonev.sh "text" sample.wav en
"Voice sample not found"
- Check the path to the WAV file
- Use absolute paths (starting with
/) - Ensure file exists:
ls -la /path/to/sample.wav
"Model not found"
The model should auto-download. If not:
cd /mnt/c/TEMP/Docker-containers/coqui-tts
docker run --rm --entrypoint "" \
-v $(pwd)/models-xtts:/root/.local/share/tts \
ghcr.io/coqui-ai/tts:latest \
python3 -c "from TTS.api import TTS; TTS('tts_models/multilingual/multi-dataset/xtts_v2')"
Poor voice quality
- Use clearer voice sample
- Ensure no background noise
- Try different sample (some voices clone better)
Quick Reference Card (FOR AI MODELS)
USER: "Clone my voice and say 'hello'"
โ Get: sample path, text="hello", language="en"
โ Run: VOICE=$(/home/bernie/clawd/skills/clonev/scripts/clonev.sh "hello" "/path/to/sample.wav" en)
โ Result: $VOICE contains path to OGG file
โ Send: message action=send channel=telegram asVoice=true filePath="$VOICE"
USER: "Make me speak Czech"
โ Get: sample path, text="Ahoj", language="cs"
โ Run: VOICE=$(/home/bernie/clawd/skills/clonev/scripts/clonev.sh "Ahoj" "/path/to/sample.wav" cs)
โ Send: message action=send channel=telegram asVoice=true filePath="$VOICE"
Output Location
Generated files are saved to:
/mnt/c/TEMP/Docker-containers/coqui-tts/output/clonev_output.ogg
The script returns this path, so you can use it directly.
Summary
- ONLY use the script:
scripts/clonev.sh - NEVER try to use Docker containers directly
- NEVER try to interact with the
coqui-xttscontainer - Script handles everything automatically
- Returns path to OGG file ready to send
Simple. Just use the script.
Clone any voice. Speak any language. Just use the script.
