To generate speech audio locally without an internet connection, you can use offline text-to-speech synthesis. This approach processes text directly on your machine, ensuring data privacy and eliminating the need for cloud-based services.

Yes, you can use local text-to-speech to convert meeting notes or reports into audio files. This allows you to review sensitive documentation later without sending data to external servers or requiring internet access.

Offline TTS with sherpa-onnx requires setting the SHERPA_ONNX_RUNTIME_DIR and SHERPA_ONNX_MODEL_DIR environment variables. These variables point the system to the necessary runtime and pre-trained voice models for audio generation.

Offline text-to-speech supports various pre-trained voice models for different speech characteristics. You can customize the generated audio output by selecting and configuring the appropriate voice model for your specific needs.

Choose offline audio generation over cloud-based text-to-speech services to prioritize data privacy and accessibility. Local processing ensures sensitive information remains on your machine and works reliably in environments with limited or no internet access.
