Caught my eye for the related name to my book of Kakuro puzzles for sale at https://www.kakurokokoro.com
Kokoro comes from the Japanese word meaning something like heart or spirit, and not the literal ones.
Naive question, but I once downloaded a particular voice file that I wanted to use with some other RVC TTS project, but ended up not being able to run it CPU only, so I only kept the voice I wanted. Thing is, the voice is in .pth format, and on Kokoro's huggingface page, their voices are all .pt. Would I be able to use this voice I already have with Kokoro? If not, is there any way to convert it? I could always go lo…
Not super familiar but it seems to be technically possible. https://github.com/Ashish-Patnaik/kokoclone Generate audio with the voice and your first tool and use this to clone it into kokoro. The pth/pt extension bit isn’t the problem. Those are PyTorch extensions and they’re synonymous like jpeg/jpg.
With something like this I can even try to make a more accurate voice than the one I already have, and tailor it to my liking!
I built a pipeline through hermes using edge-tts to automate and listen to links that I provide to it just this morning, google notebooklm style. I replaced the TTS model with Kokoro after seeing this post, thank you. Here's the pipeline if anyone is interested. https://www.klaweht.com/2026-07-07-link-to-podcast-rss-pipel... By the way, it took hermes just around 10-15 minutes to build first iteration. I am impressed…

I get the sense you're not referring to the French fashion brand, what is Hermes?
similar to openclaw

Hard pass.
Why do these half baked projects get all the attention and thousands of clicks when it just takes a simple thing to bring the whole castle down?
I just hooked it up to my personal AI Japanese Teacher app, pretty good quality / natural sounding speech in mixed English / Japanese while running fast on CPU so I don't waste VRAM.
I have used Kokoro fairly extensively for an accessibility product. I have loved working with it (especially because I don't have an NVidia GPU like many TTS of similar quality require). I particularly appreciate the fact that it lets you manually add IPA pronunciation guides. There have been some cases where an important word is a homograph and Kokoro assumed the wrong pronunciation. The place where it falls a littl…
Unfortunately it makes it unsuited for my use case, which is almost entirely single words, as I don't particularly want to deal with stitching/segmenting input/output.
