Kokori was built as a result of burning through elevenLabs credits when developing projects locally. I did not want to pay for every time I tested TTS generation worked in my app before moving over to a paid production ready solution. Kokori runs an API server which accepts text, voice & speed parameters to respond with an audio file. Additionally - it offers a desktop application UI to manually generate TTS audio files, view detailed logs, see previously generated audio files and manage settings.

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!

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!

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.
