Key Considerations
- File Location: All resource files must be in the same working directory
- hardware requirement: M1/M2 chipset Mac users can get the best performance, x86 architecture devices need to guarantee at least 4GB of RAM
- network dependency: The first run will download a voice database of about 500MB (depending on the selected voice pack).
