kokoro is decent but pocket-tts is much better especially when you rip a good voice. https://github.com/kyutai-labs/pocket-tts

the onnx version of pocket-tts does perform better. https://huggingface.co/KevinAHM/pocket-tts-onnx

I agree, pocket-tts is quite good. It is also very easy to make new voices from small sample files with pocket-tts.

I've found that for CPU inference the PyTorch-based (non-quantized) version of Pocket TTS actually performs (both speed and quality-wise) better than the ONNX version, even after fiddling with all of the knobs that ONNX provides.
