Kokoro-js library features and integration options
Kokoro-js is a JavaScript library for developers dedicated to integrating Kokoro WebGPU functionality in the browser environment. With a simple npm install command (npm install kokoro-js), developers can quickly add this functionality to their web applications.
The library provides an intuitive API interface, as shown in the sample code, which allows developers to implement text-to-speech functionality with just a few lines of JavaScript code.The API supports a variety of configuration options, including the selection of different quantization accuracies (dtype options: fp32, fp16, q8, etc.) as well as the device on which it runs (device options: wasm, webgpu, etc.). In particular, the webgpu backend maximizes the computational performance of modern browsers.
The library also contains full functionality for voice selection and audio output. Developers can call the list_voices() method to get a list of supported voices and save the generated audio file with the save() method. These APIs are designed with functionality in mind while maintaining ease of use.
Notably, the library uses the ONNX model format, which means that model weights can be reused across platforms, providing developers with greater flexibility.
