Introducing Kokoro.js, a new JavaScript library for running Kokoro TTS, an 82 million parameter text-to-speech model, 100% locally in the browser w/ WASM. Powered by 🤗 Transformers.js. WebGPU support coming soon! 👉 npm i kokoro-js 👈 Link to demo (+ sample code) in 🧵

You can get started in just a few lines of code! 🧑‍💻 Huge kudos to the Kokoro TTS community, especially @taylorchu for the ONNX exports and Hexgrad for the amazing project! None of this would be possible without you all! 🤗 Try it out yourself:

The model is also extremely resilient to quantization. The smallest variant is only 86 MB in size (down from the original 326 MB), with no noticeable difference in audio quality! 🤯 Link to models/samples:

I just launched an all-in-one template for cross-platform development, based on the stack I use myself everyday. Expo, NextJS, TypeScript, Tailwind, Firebase, AppsFlyer, Authentication, Analytics, In-App Purchases, Stripe and a lot more, setup by default.

maybe use a less annoying voice on the next one?

Extremely well done, I’ve been waiting for this and I look forward to using. Thank you for your work!

The fact that this quality of TTS can run in a browser is amazing!
