Kokoro TTS integrates voice cloning via OpenVoice ToneColorConverter

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A new integration allows the Kokoro text-to-speech (TTS) model to clone voices with minimal additional VRAM. By pairing Kokoro with the OpenVoice ToneColorConverter, users can achieve voice cloning capabilities without retraining the TTS model. This setup requires approximately 600 MB of extra VRAM and results in a slight slowdown on CUDA, but maintains fast processing speeds. AI

IMPACT Enables voice cloning for existing TTS models with minimal hardware requirements.
