# Spitch TTS plugin guide

> How to use the Spitch TTS plugin for LiveKit Agents.

Available in:
- [ ] Node.js
- [x] Python

## Overview

This plugin allows you to use [Spitch](https://spitch.app/) as a TTS provider for your voice agents.

### Installation

Install the plugin from PyPI:

```shell
uv add "livekit-agents[spitch]~=1.5"

```

### Authentication

The Spitch plugin requires a [Spitch API key](https://spitch.app/app/developers).

Set `SPITCH_API_KEY` in your `.env` file.

### Usage

Use Spitch TTS within an `AgentSession` or as a standalone speech generator. For example, you can use this TTS in the [Voice AI quickstart](https://docs.livekit.io/agents/start/voice-ai.md).

```python
from livekit.plugins import spitch

session = AgentSession(
   tts=spitch.TTS(
      language="en",
      voice="lina",
   )
   # ... llm, stt, etc.
)

```
