dsh-voice-kit 🎙️

Voice input (Web Speech API) and read-aloud (speechSynthesis) for the DeepSeek Harness web GUI.

中文说明

Status: v0.3.1, published on npm — pnpm typecheck passes, 35 unit tests pass, pnpm build emits the ecosystem-standard closure-factory bundle (host half + browser half). Voice input and read-aloud are wired against the real conversation API (session kit's inputActions/useInput/ useSession), and read-aloud supports Microsoft Edge neural voices (host-side synthesis via msedge-tts, cached, with automatic fallback to the system voice). Verified inside a real DSH Desktop profile. Install: dsh plugin add dsh-voice-kit.

Features

• 🎤 Voice input — mic button in the composer's left rail; speech is transcribed (Chrome/Edge webkitSpeechRecognition) and appended to the draft. Auto-restarts across Chrome's ~60s session limit; Esc cancels.
• 🔊 Read aloud with neural voices — per-message button at each assistant message tail. Default engine is Microsoft Edge neural TTS (晓晓/云希/ 云健/云扬…), synthesized host-side and played back with an <audio> element; falls back to speechSynthesis when offline or on failure. Markdown and emoji are stripped before speaking; long replies are chunked at sentence boundaries (decimals/URLs never split); only one voice at a time; the playing message is scrolled into view with an on-screen bubble showing what is being read.
• ⚙️ Settings — a first-level settings section: voice engine (neural/system), voice, rate, pitch, recognition language, toggles — persisted in the voice settings namespace (registered host-side via @deepseek-ai/dsh-settings).

Install

# from npm (after publish)
dsh plugin add dsh-voice-kit

# or from a local checkout (development)
dsh plugin --profile web add link:/path/to/dsh-voice-kit

Restart the harness, refresh the web GUI.

⚠️ Voice input is experimental. webkitSpeechRecognition is a Chromium feature and does not work inside Electron (DSH Desktop): the mic button enters the listening state but no transcript ever lands. It may work in Chrome/Edge when DSH is served in a regular browser. Read-aloud works everywhere (system voice fallback included).

Development

pnpm install
pnpm typecheck   # tsc --noEmit
pnpm test        # vitest (pure logic: markdown stripping / chunking)
pnpm build       # tsdown → lib/index.js (host) + lib/client.js (browser)

Build pipeline is the ecosystem-standard closure-factory bundle (window.__ModuleLoader__.load) driven by shared/tsdown.client.ts (adapted from the official DeepSeek Harness packages/client/tsdown.client.ts, MIT; libExternal option from the dsh-web-ui family bucket, Apache-2.0).

Wiring status

• [x] Locale registration — 3-arg ctx.locale.register(ns, locale, dict) overload.
• [x] Draft insertion — session kit's inputActions.setDraft(appendDraft(current, text)) with useInput((s) => s.draft) reads (src/client/draft.ts).
• [x] Message text resolution — conversation.chat.assistant-actions owner's messageId + useSession snapshot lookup, text blocks only (src/client/message.ts).
• [ ] Runtime verification — install into a real DSH profile (dsh plugin --profile desktop add link:...) and confirm the three slots render in the GUI; adjust composed-prop details if the renderer disagrees.
• [ ] Settings persistence — if the voice namespace does not survive a restart, register it host-side via @deepseek-ai/dsh-settings (installSettingsSection) in src/index.ts.

Roadmap

• v0.1 — read-aloud (safe, no permissions) + settings scaffold
• v0.2 — voice input with draft insertion (needs the draft API + mic permission)
• v0.3 — auto-send on voice stop, keyboard shortcut, bilingual polish, CI compat checks against new DSH rc releases
