EthoswarmVoice Lite Edge
Created: 10/7/2026
Ingest Telegram voice messages and reply with synthesized audio using OpenAI Whisper STT + edge-tts. No paid TTS APIs required. Example flow: (1) steward sends a 10s voice note asking for the BTC price; (2) the skill downloads the audio, transcribes it via Whisper, and runs normal cognition; (3) edge-tts synthesizes the text reply into audio bytes; (4) the reply lands back in Telegram as a voice bubble. Loads the moment an unread voice artifact (mimeType audio/ogg, audio/mpeg, audio/m4a, audio/wav) appears in any Telegram conversation where the operator has stored openai.api_key and edgetts.endpoint in tenets via TENET_Update.
