SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Local text-to-speech synthesis without cloud services, enabling private, offline voice generation on your device.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Offline TTS: Run sherpa-onnx locally, avoiding network latency and data exposure.
  • Model & Runtime Management: Configure runtime and model directories via SHERPA_ONNX_RUNTIME_DIR and SHERPA_ONNX_MODEL_DIR for flexible environments.
  • Use Case: Build accessibility tools, private voice assistants, or batch-synthesize speech for applications running on desktops or servers.

Quick Start

Set SHERPA_ONNX_RUNTIME_DIR and SHERPA_ONNX_MODEL_DIR, then run the sherpa-onnx-tts wrapper with your text to synthesize speech locally.

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

Offline text-to-speech synthesis without cloud services is enabled by running the sherpa-onnx engine locally on your device. This avoids network latency and data exposure while generating audio output directly on desktop or server environments.

What environment variables do I need to set for local TTS runtime and model management?▼

Local TTS runtime and model management requires setting the SHERPA_ONNX_RUNTIME_DIR and SHERPA_ONNX_MODEL_DIR environment variables. These directories point the wrapper to the compatible sherpa-onnx runtime files and the specific voice model files needed for synthesis.

Can I use offline TTS for private voice assistants and accessibility tools?▼

Offline TTS can be used for private voice assistants and accessibility tools. It provides local speech generation on desktops or servers without internet access, making it suitable for batch-synthesizing audio or enabling voice output in private environments.

Does offline text-to-speech work on servers without internet access?▼

Offline text-to-speech works on servers without internet access. The standalone sherpa-onnx synthesis engine operates entirely locally, ensuring no data transmission is required during audio generation or model processing.

Why use a local TTS engine instead of cloud-based speech synthesis?▼

A local TTS engine is used instead of cloud-based speech synthesis to ensure privacy and eliminate network latency. Running sherpa-onnx standalone prevents data transmission, making it ideal for private workflows and environments restricted from internet access.
