Rime

Updated

Use Rime for text-to-speech (TTS) in a Conversational AI Platform agent.

Preview documentation

You're reading the Conversational AI Platform (Preview) docs. Switch to Main.

Rime provides high-quality text-to-speech (TTS) with low latency, supporting multiple speakers and models.

Sample configuration

The following example shows how to configure Rime as the agent's TTS when you create or update an agent. For a complete example, see Create an agent and start a session.

Rime supports BYOK only. It isn't available in managed mode. Store your Rime API key in a secret set, and refer to it from the agent. For details, see Use your own provider keys.

from agora_agent import Agent, RimeTTS, secret_ref

# client is your configured Agora client
agent = (
    Agent(client=client)
    .with_stt(...)  # configure your ASR vendor
    .with_llm(...)  # configure your LLM vendor
    .with_tts(
        RimeTTS(
            key=secret_ref("support_prod", "rime"),
            base_url="wss://users.rime.ai/ws2",
            speaker="cove",
            model_id="mistv2",
        )
    )
)
import { Agent, RimeTTS, secretRef } from 'agora-agents';

// client is your configured Agora client
const agent = new Agent({ client })
  .withStt(/* configure your ASR vendor */)
  .withLlm(/* configure your LLM vendor */)
  .withTts(
    new RimeTTS({
      key: secretRef('support_prod', 'rime'),
      baseUrl: 'wss://users.rime.ai/ws2',
      speaker: 'cove',
      modelId: 'mistv2',
    }),
  );
// client is your configured Agora client
agent := agentkit.NewAgent(client).
	WithStt( /* configure your ASR vendor */ ).
	WithLlm( /* configure your LLM vendor */ ).
	WithTts(vendors.NewRimeTTS(vendors.RimeTTSOptions{
		Key:     agentkit.SecretRef("support_prod", "rime"),
		BaseURL: "wss://users.rime.ai/ws2",
		Speaker: "cove",
		ModelID: "mistv2",
	}))

Set credential.mode to byok and credential.fields.api_key to a reference to your Rime API key in a secret set. In the following example, the key is stored as rime in the support_prod set:

"tts": {
  "credential": {
    "mode": "byok",
    "fields": {
      "api_key": "$secrets.support_prod.rime"
    }
  },
  "vendor": "rime",
  "url": "wss://users.rime.ai/ws2",
  "params": {
    "speaker": "cove",
    "modelId": "mistv2"
  }
}

Key parameters

The tts block takes the following fields. In the SDKs, the Rime TTS class sets them from its options.

tts
vendorstring
required

Set to rime.

credentialobject
required

Set mode to byok and fields.api_key to a $secrets.<set>.<key> reference to your Rime API key.

urlstring
optional

The WebSocket URL for the Rime streaming API, for example wss://users.rime.ai/ws2.

paramsobject
required
speakerstring
required

The speaker voice to use for TTS output, for example cove.

modelIdstring
required

The Rime TTS model to use, for example mistv2. Different models provide different voice qualities and capabilities.

Caution

The parameters listed on this page are validated for use with the Conversational AI Platform. Required parameters must be provided as documented. Any additional parameters in params are passed through directly to Rime without validation. For a full list of supported options, refer to the Rime documentation for Arcana and Mist v2.

This integration is fully supported for use with the Conversational AI Platform. While it has completed functional validation, it is newer to the platform, and additional provider-specific edge cases may be identified as usage scales across a broader range of applications and workloads.
