It supports multiple languages and offers a selection of voices, with model weights optimized for size while maintaining performance on modern hardware. The package depends on espeakng-loader for phoneme handling, numpy for numerical operations, onnxruntime for model inference, and phonemizer-fork for linguistic processing.\n\nThe typical workflow involves installing the package, downloading the model and voice files from the project's releases, then calling the Kokoro class with text, language, voice, and output parameters. It's designed for developers who need embedded speech synthesis without heavy dependencies like full TensorFlow or PyTorch installations, making it suitable for edge deployment or resource-constrained environments.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need lightweight multilingual text-to-speech with ONNX inference. The low installation friction, active maintenance, and zero known vulnerabilities make it a practical choice. However, verify the unclear license treatment against your project's requirements, and plan for the separate download of model files before first use."},"id":"kokoro-onnx","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/kokoro-onnx","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/kokoro-onnx.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/kokoro-onnx/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-01-30","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"unclear","name":"kokoro-onnx","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"TTS with kokoro and onnx runtime"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":550894,"position":6052,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.5.0"}
