Was just looking for a TTS model to run locally for reading out loud articles, and never heard about Kokoro before! This looks great. I wonder if it can run in the browser somehow - could be a nice WebExtension.

- jiehong 2y agoI think most browsers support this already. Even maybe OS wide. I know it should work for Firefox on an article in reader mode. Or in MacOS you can select text and have it read out loud.

- sriacha 2y agoYou might need to install/setup Speech Dispatcher. I was just using this implementation with Piper: https://github.com/Elleo/pied?tab=readme-ov-file https://github.com/Elleo/pied?tab=readme-ov-file. However easier way to read articles aloud is with Read Aloud extension: https://github.com/ken107/read-aloud https://github.com/ken107/read-aloud.
- yoavm 2y agoThat worked, thanks, though I find the speech quality in both options absolutely painful to listen to. The above WASM solution sounds about 100x better...
