Kokoro
FreeTiny open-weight text-to-speech model that runs on almost anything
What is Kokoro?
Kokoro is an 82-million-parameter open-weight text-to-speech model released under the Apache 2.0 license. Its small size lets it run quickly on CPUs, phones and in the browser, so developers use it for local readers, assistants and offline apps.
The model ships with a set of preset voices across several languages and can be run through Python, ONNX or community ports for JavaScript and other runtimes. It does not clone voices, but its speed and permissive license have made it a common default in open-source voice projects.
