Frequently Asked Questions about sherpa-onnx-tts

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run offline text-to-speech synthesis locally without cloud services?▼

Offline text-to-speech synthesis runs locally by using sherpa-onnx to generate speech from text without cloud services. You provide text input to produce an audio file using a local runtime and selected voice model.

What is local TTS and when do I need deterministic voice synthesis?▼

Local TTS is the process of generating speech from text on your machine. You need deterministic voice synthesis for privacy-conscious workflows, edge devices, accessibility tools, and research projects requiring predictable output.

Do I need environment variables to use sherpa-onnx for cross-platform TTS?▼

Yes, sherpa-onnx cross-platform TTS requires the SHERPA_ONNX_RUNTIME_DIR and SHERPA_ONNX_MODEL_DIR environment variables. The wrapper uses these variables to locate the runtime, model, and data for predictable output.

Can I use local TTS on macOS, Linux, and Windows for privacy-focused projects?▼

Yes, local TTS powered by sherpa-onnx supports deterministic, cross-platform voice synthesis across macOS, Linux, and Windows. It is specifically suitable for privacy-conscious workflows and demos.

What's the best way to set up offline TTS for edge devices and accessibility tools?▼

The best way to set up offline TTS is downloading the sherpa-onnx runtime and voice model, configuring the required environment variables, and running the CLI with text input to generate audio files.
