Proposal: first-party @ai-sdk/speechify speech provider (vendor-maintained)
Speechify would like to contribute and maintain a first-party @ai-sdk/speechify speech (TTS) provider, mirroring the existing @ai-sdk/lmnt and @ai-sdk/elevenlabs packages.
Per contributing/add-new-provider.md, opening an issue first to discuss a first-party @ai-sdk/<provider> package.
Context
- There is already a community package,
@speechify/vercel, and an open docs-only PR (#16844) adding a community-provider page for it. - We'd prefer a first-party, vendor-maintained package: no vendor-SDK dependency, implemented against
@ai-sdk/provider+@ai-sdk/provider-utilswith rawfetch, consistent with the other first-party speech providers. Speechify will maintain it. We're prepared to close the other PR and remove the standalone package.
