Offline text-to-speech synthesis generates audio locally on your machine, eliminating cloud dependencies and ensuring data privacy. This skill uses the sherpa-onnx runtime to convert text into speech directly without an internet connection.

No, local text-to-speech works entirely offline without requiring an internet connection. Once configured, the sherpa-onnx runtime synthesizes speech directly on your machine, ensuring private audio generation for documentation and accessibility.

To set up the sherpa-onnx runtime for voice generation, you must configure two environment variables: SHERPA_ONNX_RUNTIME_DIR and SHERPA_ONNX_MODEL_DIR. These point the system to the necessary runtime files and voice models for synthesis.

Yes, local text-to-speech supports customizable voices by utilizing various TTS models. You can swap the voice models loaded via the SHERPA_ONNX_MODEL_DIR environment variable to achieve different speech outputs for your audio generation.

The best way to convert meeting notes into an audio file locally is using offline text-to-speech synthesis. This process generates a WAV audio file directly from your text on your machine, allowing for private review without uploading sensitive data.

Offline TTS fails to synthesize speech if the SHERPA_ONNX_RUNTIME_DIR and SHERPA_ONNX_MODEL_DIR environment variables are not set correctly. Ensure these paths accurately point to the sherpa-onnx runtime and your downloaded voice models.
