Technical Architecture Comparison
| dimension (math.) | Python environment | browser environment |
|---|---|---|
| operating foundation | Requires Python interpreter | Modern browsers only |
| Dependency management | Requires installation of kokoro library + espeak-ng | Requires only the kokoro-js library |
| computational capabilities | GPU acceleration available | Dependent on WebGPU capabilities |
Differences in functional characteristics
- Advanced Controls: The Python version provides phoneme-level analysis and clause control.
- interactive experience: Browser version supports out-of-the-box use, no need to configure the environment
- Deployment Scenarios: Python for back-end batch processing, browser for interactive applications
Selection Decision Matrix
Scenario-based options are recommended:
1. Selecting a Python EnvironmentWhen needed:
- Integration with existing Python teaching and research platforms
- Handle large volume text-to-speech tasks
2. Select Browser EnvironmentWhen needed:
- Rapid prototyping
- Building Web Applications with Zero Client Installation
