* Update documentation for piper TTS automation * Remove old images * Obey the AI This suggestion results in a broken preview build, and I imagine it will break an actual deployment too. But the AI insisted that this was correct. * Revert "Obey the AI" This reverts commit b8d54c32ea53532c51d8b18cc24b0b3d920724e7.

title: "Using Piper TTS in automations"
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
This procedure shows you how to create a text-to-speech {% term action %}. For this, we use our local text-to-speech engine, Piper, and the media player {% term service %}. Home Assistant can then speak to you over your media player as part of an {% term automation %}.
|
|
|
|
1. Go to **{% my automations title="Settings > Automations & Scenes" %}**, and select **Create automation**.
|
|
2. Select **Create new automation**, then **Add action**.
|
|
3. From the drop-down menu, search for or select **TTS: Speak**.
|
|

|
|
4. To use fully local text-to-speech processing, select **piper** from the **Choose entity** control.
|
|

|
|
5. Select the media player you want the automation to use.
|
|
6. Enter the text you want to hear for this automation.
|
|

|
|
7. Your text-to-speech action is now ready to be used in your script or automation.
|
|
8. Save your action.
