> Can I use Kokoro TTS offline?

> Kokoro TTS is a cloud-based service that requires an internet connection to access our advanced text to speech technology. This ensures you always have access to the latest improvements and don't need to worry about local hardware requirements or model installations.

I would happily take on the worrying for offline instead of them having to worry about my worries.




What's the point of promoting a model as "light weight" or even mentioning the parameter count if I can't run it locally? I don't give a toss how much pressure your remote hardware is under, and promoting a cloud service as small and lightweight only makes me think it's going to be cheap and crappy.
