This blog post discusses Kokoro, a local Text-to-Speech (TTS) model that uses CPU for speech synthesis without compromising privacy. It produces realistic speech in multiple languages and offers a simple setup via Docker. The author shares examples of how to use Kokoro for generating speech, including performance benchmarks for various CPUs. An alternative TTS service, Speaches, is also mentioned for those needing Speech-to-Text functionality alongside TTS, providing insights into modern speech generation technologies.
