Coqui TTS

Open-source deep learning toolkit for text-to-speech synthesis and voice cloning.

Visit github.com ↗

Coqui TTS is a widely used open-source library and CLI tool for text-to-speech synthesis and voice cloning. It provides pretrained models (including XTTS) across multiple languages that can run locally on your own hardware. Creators and developers use it as a self-hosted base audio generator for AI avatars, voiceovers, and voice-conversion workflows.

What it's for

  • Generate spoken voiceover audio from raw text locally
  • Clone target voices using short reference audio samples
  • Create clean base vocal tracks to feed into voice conversion models like RVC
  • Train and fine-tune custom speech synthesis models on private datasets

Features

  • Pretrained models for multi-speaker and multilingual speech synthesis
  • XTTS voice cloning capabilities from short audio prompts
  • Command-line interface (CLI) for quick batch speech synthesis
  • Python library integration for developer pipelines
  • Utilities for dataset curation, audio processing, and fine-tuning

Pricing

Open source. Free and open source
