It supports multiple voices across many languages, with control over speech rate, volume, and pitch. The package works asynchronously and depends on aiohttp for HTTP communication with the Edge service.\n\nYou can use it either as a standalone tool via edge-tts and edge-playback commands or import it as a Python module for programmatic access. The service requires no API key but depends on Microsoft's online service being available. Custom SSML is not supported due to Microsoft's restrictions on what the service will accept.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need free, zero-setup text-to-speech without local model management. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and low install friction. The LGPLv3 copyleft license is permissive for most use cases. Main trade-off: you depend on Microsoft's online service availability; not suitable for offline-only or privacy-critical applications."},"id":"edge-tts","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/edge-tts","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/edge-tts.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/edge-tts/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-03-22","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"copyleft","name":"edge-tts","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Microsoft Edge's TTS"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":13002561,"position":1299,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"7.2.8"}
