Was just looking for a TTS model to run locally for reading out loud articles, and never heard about Kokoro before! This looks great. I wonder if it can run in the browser somehow - could be a nice WebExtension.

What about the WASM running sherpa-onnx? No intallation required and can be served locally as well.

I think most browsers support this already. Even maybe OS wide.

I know it should work for Firefox on an article in reader mode.

Or in MacOS you can select text and have it read out loud.

I'm using Firefox and I do not see this option. Probably not working on Linux?

  You might need to install/setup Speech Dispatcher. I was just using this implementation with Piper: https://github.com/Elleo/pied?tab=readme-ov-file.
  However easier way to read articles aloud is with Read Aloud extension: https://github.com/ken107/read-aloud.

  That worked, thanks, though I find the speech quality in both options absolutely painful to listen to. The above WASM solution sounds about 100x better...
