Tips for Better Text to Speech Quality
โ๏ธ Punctuate Properly
Commas add short pauses, periods add full stops. Question marks raise pitch at the end. Proper punctuation is the #1 way to improve naturalness.
๐ฏ Use the Large Model for Best Quality
The Large model (~600MB) produces the most natural-sounding speech. Use Small (~90MB) for quick tests, then switch to Large for production audio.
๐ Choose the Right Engine & Voice
Kokoro TTS: Heart and Bella are rated A/A- for English. Piper TTS: Alice and James for warm narration. Kitten TTS: expression-based voices for emotional tone. Pick the engine that fits your needs.
โก Use WebGPU for Speed
WebGPU generates speech 3โ5x faster than the WASM fallback. Chrome 113+ and Edge 113+ support WebGPU. Safari users can use the WASM fallback.
