Piper

A local neural text-to-speech engine generates speech with trainable voices, a web server and Python or C/C++ APIs under GPL-3.0.

Alternative to:

Piper generates spoken audio from text on local hardware. It's for developers who need a text-to-speech engine for their applications or self-hosted services.

  • Application APIs: Python and C/C++ APIs let developers add speech generation to their own software.
  • Web server and command line: Applications can request speech through a web server, and developers can also use a command-line interface.
  • Voice training: Developers can train new voices for projects that need their own voice.

Piper is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 (GPL-3.0). Speech generation runs locally.
