Quickdial

Overview

QuickdialTTSService generates speech from text using Quickdial’s real-time text-to-speech API. It extends Pipecat’s TTSService and pushes TTSAudioRawFrame audio into the pipeline. Quickdial runs CPU-optimized engines (no GPU), streams audio as it’s generated, and is priced per character.
