      This seems to be a wrapper over Kokoro which is an Apache-licenced TTS model and library which has been out for over a year. That model lists about 10% of its approx 1000-hour training data but also says that all of its training data was CC, synthetic (by way of closed source TTs), or otherwise permissively-licensed.

        Interesting, does using the output of a nonfree software make the model more free?

        Odd choice but personally I dont care, we have these models everywhere, please also on Linux etc.

        Still looking for a good multi-lingual TTS on Android (english + german)
