Setup Telegram Voice

Check if voice message handling is properly configured. Use ONLY the Read tool.

Files to check

Read .env in the project root. Check for:
- ELEVENLABS_API_KEY — ElevenLabs TTS key (primary)
- ELEVENLABS_VOICE_ID — optional, defaults to George voice
- OPENAI_API_KEY — OpenAI TTS fallback (needed if no ElevenLabs key)
- WHISPER_MODEL — optional, defaults to medium
- TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN — required (same as base telegram setup)
Read .claude/skills/enable-telegram/SKILL.md to confirm the skill exists.

Report format

Telegram Voice Setup:
  [x] Base Telegram: configured (run /setup-telegram for details)
  [x] ElevenLabs API key: configured
  [ ] ElevenLabs voice ID: using default (George - JBFqnCBsd6RMkjVDRZzb)
  [ ] OpenAI API key: not set (optional fallback)
  [x] Whisper model: medium (default)
  [x] Voice skill: installed

If things are missing

No ElevenLabs AND no OpenAI key: "You need at least one TTS provider. Add ELEVENLABS_API_KEY=<key> (from elevenlabs.io) or OPENAI_API_KEY=<key> (from platform.openai.com) to .env"
No Whisper: "The transcribe-anything pip package is needed for speech-to-text. Run pip install transcribe-anything to install."
Base Telegram not configured: "Run /setup-telegram first to configure the bot."

When everything passes

Tell the user: "Voice pipeline ready! Run /enable-telegram to activate. Voice messages sent to the bot will be transcribed and responded to with audio."

Important

Use ONLY the Read tool — no Bash, no pip commands
Don't attempt to validate API keys against external services
The voice pipeline requires the base Telegram daemon to be running (/enable-telegram)
