About local-tts

local-tts is a lightweight, open-source command-line tool designed to bring speech capabilities directly to your coding environment. Its primary function is to convert text to speech locally, ensuring privacy and offline operation. Built on llama.cpp's llama-tts, it offers high-quality speech synthesis without relying on external services or complex dependencies. This makes it ideal for developers who want a simple, efficient TTS solution integrated into their workflows. Its minimalistic design means it installs only itself, utilizing Python's standard library alongside binaries that users can install once, providing a seamless, dependency-free experience. Whether you're creating interactive coding assistants, debugging with voice prompts, or building accessible tools, local-tts is tailored to meet those needs with ease and privacy in mind.
