Nice, I’ll have to try it out. They should really make a uv-installable CLI tool like pocket-TTS did. People underestimate just how much more immediately usable something becomes when you can simply get something by doing “uv tool install …”

True that. People, especially developers, underestimate the importance of packaging. Or, in general, making it easier for others to use your product.

So I benchmarked it and there’s really no advantage over pocket TTS. There are some tradeoffs like Kitten doesn’t have streaming audio.
