loudreader/loudkit
Offline text to speech on your own computer: add local speech to an app, pick a voice, make WAV files from text, clone a voice you have the right to use.
Add offline, on-device text to speech to a software project with loudkit, an open-source engine with open weights, in Python, JavaScript or TypeScript (Node), Rust, Go or Swift (macOS, iOS). Use when the user wants speech output in their app without a cloud TTS API, needs local or private speech synthesis, or asks how to integrate loudkit.
Help the user pick a loudkit voice by language or presentation, and let them hear it. Use when the user asks which voices or languages loudkit has, wants a voice for a given language, or wants to compare voices before generating audio.
Make a loudkit voice profile from a short recording of a voice the user has the right to use, such as their own, locally and offline. Use when the user wants speech in their own voice, wants to clone or enroll a voice from a recording, or asks how to make a custom voice for loudkit.
Make a spoken-audio WAV file from text or a text file with loudkit, an open-source engine that runs offline without a cloud API. In a coding agent with a shell, on the user's computer or in a cloud task, produce the file; without a shell, give the commands to run locally. Use when the user wants an audio file, narration or voice-over made from text or a document on their machine, not when they only want the assistant's reply read aloud.
