Kokoro TTS

What is Kokoro TTS?

Kokoro TTS is a web interface for generating speech with the 82-million-parameter Kokoro text-to-speech model. The site describes the model as based on the StyleTTS 2 architecture and emphasizes efficient, natural-sounding output with a smaller parameter count. Users can convert short text or longer written material into audio using several languages and voice options.

The service lists American and British English, French, Korean, Japanese, and Mandarin, plus customizable voicepacks, automatic chapter and section detection, GPU-accelerated generation, and an OpenAI-compatible speech endpoint. Users should confirm voice licensing, consent, attribution, and commercial-use terms before publishing generated audio.

2. Paste text or upload supported written content.
3. Review automatic section or chapter boundaries for longer material.
4. Generate a short sample and check pronunciation, pacing, and tone.
5. Adjust the voice or split difficult passages before generating the full audio.
6. Export the result and verify that its use complies with content and voice rights.
