So many TTS releases - it's hard to know what is something new and worth looking into vs small tweaks on something existing.
I almost always want STT. TTS seems intended to degrade reading skills, almost.
I don't think so. Some times a speech interface is the call.
Sure, TTS is useful now and then, like for the voice prompts from my car GPS. I find myself wanting STT much more of the time.
Smaller than Kokoro yet sounds just as good, impressive.
Makes a great option for mobile on-device or browser app TTS.
