🚀 Shipmas Day 2.5 🚀 Kokoro v0.22 packs 5 languages in 82M params! 🇺🇸🇬🇧🇫🇷🇯🇵🇰🇷🇨🇳 hexgrad/Kokoro-TTS
Feedback appreciated, both positive or negative. Non-English languages haven't been validated by the model creator(s), so if you're a native speaker, criticize away!
self.brag(): Kokoro finally got 300 votes in Pendrokar/TTS-Spaces-Arena after @Pendrokar was kind enough to add it 3 weeks ago. Discounting the small sample size of votes, I think it is safe to say that hexgrad/Kokoro-TTS is currently a top 3 model among the contenders in that Arena. This is notable because: - At 82M params, Kokoro is one of the smaller models in the Arena - MeloTTS has 52M params - F5 TTS has 330M params - XTTSv2 has 467M params
