KittenTTS is a lightweight solution designed for low-end devices. With a model size of less than 25MB, it requires only about 15 million parameters, requires no GPU support, and runs smoothly on embedded devices such as the Raspberry Pi. It can be deployed in just three steps.
- Installing a Python Virtual Environment to Avoid Dependency Conflicts
- Install precompiled wheel files via pip
- Calling the Python API to implement text-to-speech functionality
For example, using tts = KittenTTS()After initialization, call generate()method can generate audio. This solution is particularly suitable for embedded scenarios that require offline voice, such as smart homes and IoT devices.
