CLI Recipes: 7 Automation Scripts for Voice Content at Scale
Vois TeamTLDR:Vois exposes a full CLI (vois-cli) that communicates with the running desktop app over a local socket. These 7 recipes cover batch generation, voice swapping, multi-platform export, multilingual content, job monitoring, pronunciation management, and CI/CD integration.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the CLI work without the Vois desktop app running?
No. The CLI communicates with the desktop app over a local socket (Unix socket on macOS/Linux, named pipe on Windows). The app needs to be running for the CLI to work. Think of the CLI as a remote control for the app.
Can AI coding agents like Claude Code use the Vois CLI?
Yes. The CLI was designed specifically for this. AI agents load a skill file that teaches them the CLI commands, then drive the entire production pipeline programmatically. See our post on AI coding agents and voice output for details.
What happens if a generation fails mid-batch?
Failed generations don't stop the batch. Use 'vois tts generate --status' to check which scripts completed and which need re-running. The CLI returns exit codes you can check in shell scripts.
