Kokori TTS app for macOS: Transform text to speech with a powerful local API server & desktop app. High-quality voices, speed control, and seamless menubar integration.
Generate audio via the API for your applications, or use the desktop interface to generate audio for podcasts, tiktok/instagram voice-overs and sound-bites.

@jack_callow Lovely product! What specific pain point made you build Kokori instead of relying on macOS’s built-in voices?
That is a cool idea! Are you planning to add more voices (german for example)?
Congrats on the launch!

Hi @ksenia_sh
The underlying TTS model does not have support for German dialect/accent voices. In future, if the model improves or releases new versions I can update the app.
@jack_callow i see, thanks for the info!

What is the underlying technology or API being used for converting from text to speech?

Hi @syed_shayanur_rahman
Under the hood it's using an open source model with a similar name.
I'll leave it ambiguous just to avoid clones of the app but a search on huggingFace should find it.
Every time I stub out a TTS call during dev, I either mock it or burn real credits. Kokori running a local API server with the same text/voice/speed params means I can iterate on the integration logic without touching ElevenLabs until I'm ready for prod.

Hi @piroune_balachandran
That's the exact problem Kokori aims to solve. Hope you find it useful!
