Kokoro TTS Demo Space

A Zero GPU-optimized Hugging Face Space for the Kokoro TTS model.

Overview

This Space provides a Gradio interface for the Kokoro TTS model, allowing users to:

• Convert text to speech using multiple voices
• Adjust speech speed
• Get instant audio playback

Technical Details

• Zero GPU for efficient GPU resource management
• Dynamically loads required modules from hexgrad/Kokoro-82M repository

All dependencies are automatically handled:

• Core modules (kokoro.py, models.py, etc.) are downloaded from hexgrad/Kokoro-82M
• Model weights and voice files are cached in /data/.huggingface
• System dependencies (espeak-ng) are installed via packages.txt

Environment

• Python 3.10.13
• PyTorch 2.2.2
• Gradio 5.9.1
• A100 Zero GPU Enabled

Notes

• Model Warm-Up takes some time, it shines at longer lengths.
