Automatically aligns and synchronizes multiple audio tracks from live performances, correcting timing drift and phase misalignment between different microphones and instruments. Eliminates manual time-shifting and phase correction that typically requires technical expertise.
Applies AI-driven noise reduction to live performance recordings, removing ambient noise, crowd rumble, and technical artifacts while preserving the clarity and character of the primary audio source. Adapts to different noise profiles across tracks.
Applies intelligent, frequency-aware equalization that adapts to the dynamic content of live recordings, addressing tonal issues and balancing frequency response across multiple tracks. Automatically adjusts EQ parameters based on the audio content rather than static settings.
Intelligently adjusts individual track levels to create a cohesive mix balance without manual fader adjustments. Uses AI to analyze the relative importance and loudness characteristics of each track to establish appropriate gain staging.
Prepares mixed audio for mastering by optimizing loudness, dynamic range, and frequency balance to meet distribution standards. Applies final polish to ensure the recording meets technical specifications for streaming platforms and physical media.
Orchestrates an end-to-end pipeline that transforms raw multi-track live recordings into distribution-ready audio through sequential application of synchronization, noise reduction, mixing, and mastering. Streamlines the entire post-production process into a simplified workflow.
Applies consistent mixing and mastering settings across multiple recordings or multiple performances, enabling efficient processing of entire albums, tour recordings, or content libraries without individual manual adjustment for each file.
Converts processed audio to multiple file formats and bitrates optimized for different distribution platforms and use cases. Handles format conversion while preserving audio quality and applying platform-specific optimization.
Generates natural-sounding speech from text using a lightweight 82-million parameter transformer-based neural model (KModel class) that operates on phoneme sequences rather than raw text, with parallel Python and JavaScript implementations enabling deployment from CLI to web browsers. The KPipeline orchestrates text processing through language-specific G2P conversion (misaki or espeak-ng backends) followed by neural synthesis and ONNX-based audio waveform generation via istftnet modules.
Unique: Combines 82M parameter efficiency (vs 1B+ parameter competitors) with dual Python/JavaScript architecture enabling both server and browser deployment; uses misaki + espeak-ng hybrid G2P pipeline for language-agnostic phoneme conversion rather than language-specific models
vs alternatives: Smaller model size and Apache 2.0 licensing enable unrestricted commercial deployment where cloud-dependent TTS (Google Cloud, Azure) or GPL-licensed alternatives (Coqui) are impractical; JavaScript support gives browser-native synthesis unavailable in most open-source TTS
Converts text characters to phoneme sequences using a dual-backend architecture: misaki library as primary G2P engine for most languages, with espeak-ng fallback for Hindi and other languages requiring rule-based phonetic conversion. The text processing pipeline (in kokoro/pipeline.py) selects the appropriate G2P backend based on language code, handles text chunking for long inputs, and produces phoneme sequences that feed into neural synthesis.
Unique: Hybrid G2P architecture using misaki as primary engine with espeak-ng fallback provides better phonetic accuracy than single-backend approaches; language-specific backend selection (misaki for most, espeak-ng for Hindi) optimizes for each language's phonetic complexity rather than one-size-fits-all approach
vs alternatives: More flexible than single-backend G2P (e.g., pure espeak-ng) by combining neural-trained misaki with rule-based espeak-ng; avoids dependency on large language models for phoneme conversion, reducing latency vs LLM-based G2P approaches
Kokoro TTS scores higher at 59/100 vs Setmixer at 46/100. Kokoro TTS also has a free tier, making it more accessible.

Generates raw audio waveforms from phoneme token sequences using ONNX-optimized istftnet modules that perform inverse short-time Fourier transform (ISTFT) synthesis. The KModel class produces mel-spectrogram embeddings from phoneme tokens, which are then converted to linear spectrograms and finally to waveforms via the ONNX-compiled istftnet vocoder, enabling efficient CPU/GPU inference without PyTorch overhead.
Unique: Uses ONNX-compiled istftnet vocoder for inference optimization rather than PyTorch-based vocoding, reducing memory footprint and enabling deployment on ONNX Runtime across heterogeneous hardware (CPU, GPU, mobile); istftnet provides direct spectrogram-to-waveform synthesis without intermediate neural vocoder layers
vs alternatives: ONNX vocoding is faster than PyTorch-based vocoders (HiFi-GAN, Glow-TTS) on CPU inference; smaller model size than end-to-end neural vocoders enables edge deployment where alternatives require significant computational overhead
Enables selection from multiple pre-trained voice styles (e.g., 'af_heart' for American female, various British voices) by conditioning the neural model with voice-specific embeddings. The KModel class accepts a voice identifier parameter that retrieves corresponding embeddings from HuggingFace Hub, which are concatenated with phoneme embeddings during synthesis to produce voice-specific speech characteristics without retraining the base model.
Unique: Implements speaker conditioning via pre-trained voice embeddings rather than speaker ID tokens or speaker-specific model variants, enabling voice selection without model duplication; embeddings are downloaded on-demand from HuggingFace Hub rather than bundled, reducing package size
vs alternatives: More efficient than maintaining separate model checkpoints per voice (as some TTS systems do); embedding-based conditioning is lighter-weight than speaker encoder networks used in some alternatives, reducing inference latency
Provides parallel Python (KPipeline, KModel classes) and JavaScript (KokoroTTS class) implementations with identical functional semantics, enabling code portability and consistent behavior across environments. Both implementations share the same text processing pipeline, model inference logic, and audio synthesis approach, with language-specific optimizations (PyTorch for Python, ONNX.js for JavaScript) while maintaining API compatibility.
Unique: Maintains semantic equivalence between Python and JavaScript implementations through shared pipeline design (KPipeline abstraction) rather than transpilation or wrapper layers; both implementations use identical text processing and model inference logic with language-specific runtime optimization
vs alternatives: More maintainable than separate Python/JavaScript implementations because core logic is unified; avoids transpilation overhead and complexity of maintaining two codebases with different semantics, unlike some TTS projects with separate Python and JS versions
Provides CLI tools for text-to-speech synthesis without programmatic API usage, supporting both interactive input and batch file processing. The CLI wraps the KPipeline class, accepting text input via stdin or file arguments, language/voice parameters, and output file specifications, enabling integration into shell scripts and data processing pipelines.
Unique: CLI implementation wraps KPipeline class directly without separate CLI-specific code, maintaining consistency with programmatic API; supports both interactive and batch modes through unified interface
vs alternatives: Simpler than cloud-based TTS CLIs (Google Cloud, Azure) because no authentication or API key management required; more accessible than programmatic APIs for non-developers and shell script integration
Provides utilities (examples/export.py) to export the KModel neural network and istftnet vocoder to ONNX format for optimized inference across different hardware and runtime environments. The export process converts PyTorch models to ONNX intermediate representation, enabling deployment on ONNX Runtime (CPU, GPU, mobile) without PyTorch dependency, reducing model size and inference latency.
Unique: Provides explicit export utilities rather than automatic ONNX export, giving developers control over export parameters and optimization settings; separates export from inference, enabling offline optimization workflows
vs alternatives: More flexible than automatic export because developers can customize export parameters; avoids runtime overhead of on-demand export compared to systems that export during first inference
Implements generator-based processing pipeline that yields audio segments incrementally as they are synthesized, rather than buffering entire output. The KPipeline class returns Python generators that yield tuples of (graphemes, phonemes, audio_segment) for each text chunk, enabling memory-efficient processing of long texts and streaming output to audio devices or files.
Unique: Uses Python generators to yield audio segments incrementally rather than buffering entire output, enabling memory-efficient processing of arbitrarily long texts; generator pattern provides both phoneme and audio output for each segment, enabling downstream analysis or processing
vs alternatives: More memory-efficient than batch processing entire texts; enables real-time streaming output unavailable in systems that require complete synthesis before output; generator pattern is more Pythonic than callback-based streaming
