...Unlike most Text-to-Speech (TTS) tools that require expensive cloud API subscriptions or an active internet connection, AudioBC runs entirely on your local machine. Powered by the state-of-the-art Kokoro-82M neural engine, AudioBC produces natural, human-like speech that rivals premium cloud services. It is built with a focus on privacy and simplicity, offering a streamlined three-step workflow: Extract, Edit, and Convert. Key Features: Neural Quality TTS: Uses the compact yet powerful Kokoro-82M model for high-fidelity, expressive voice synthesis. Privacy-First & Offline: After a one-time initial model download, all processing happens on your CPU. ...

...Unlike traditional two-stage systems that separately train an acoustic model and a vocoder, VITS trains an end-to-end model that maps text directly to waveform using a conditional variational autoencoder combined with normalizing flows and adversarial training. This architecture enables parallel generation (fast inference) while achieving speech quality that rivals or surpasses many two-stage systems. The repository provides training and inference pipelines for common datasets such as LJ Speech (single-speaker) and VCTK (multi-speaker), including filelists, configs, and preprocessing scripts. It also includes monotonic alignment search code and g2p preprocessing, which are crucial components for aligning text and speech in an end-to-end setup.
