...It supports both local and cloud control, depending on the device type, with Yandex speakers often supporting both modes and third-party speakers typically limited to cloud control. The integration exposes playback and volume controls, as well as text-to-speech capabilities that send spoken messages in Alice’s voice directly to the speakers. It also lets you send arbitrary text commands as if you were talking to Alice, enabling scenarios such as “play my music,” launching routines, or querying information via Home Assistant automations. In local control mode, the component can read back what is currently playing, including album art, and supports seeking and track skipping, which is more limited in cloud-only mode.

IndexTTS is a modern, zero-shot text-to-speech (TTS) system engineered to deliver high-quality, natural-sounding speech synthesis with few requirements and strong voice-cloning capabilities. It builds on state-of-the-art models such as XTTS and other modern neural TTS backbones, improving them with a conformer-based speech conditional encoder and upgrading the decoder to a high-quality vocoder (BigVGAN2), leading to clearer and more natural audio output. The system supports zero-shot voice...

EPUB to Audiobook Converter is a tool designed to convert EPUB ebooks into chaptered audiobooks, optimized specifically for Audiobookshelf servers. It reads each chapter from an EPUB file, generates audio using a chosen text-to-speech backend, and outputs separate MP3 files with chapter titles preserved as metadata to make navigation easier. The project supports multiple TTS providers, including Microsoft Azure TTS, EdgeTTS, OpenAI TTS, local Piper, and Kokoro via an OpenAI-compatible...

MLX-Audio is a speech library built on Apple’s MLX framework and optimized for Apple Silicon machines (M-series Macs). It focuses on text-to-speech and speech-to-speech workflows, with APIs and a command-line interface that make it easy to generate high-quality audio from text. Because it uses MLX and targets Apple Silicon, inference is fast and can take advantage of hardware acceleration and quantization for efficient on-device performance. The project provides a straightforward CLI...

VibeVoice ComfyUI is a comprehensive wrapper that integrates Microsoft’s VibeVoice text-to-speech models directly into ComfyUI workflows. It exposes VibeVoice as a set of custom nodes so you can build single-speaker and multi-speaker voice generation pipelines visually, combining TTS with other audio or generative components. The integration supports high-quality single-speaker synthesis as well as scripted multi-speaker conversations, with optional voice cloning from audio samples for each...
