Last update time : 2025-09-04 22:34:53

A tool to convert text to speech with minimal computing resources.

KittenTTS is an ultra-lightweight, open-source text-to-speech AI model that converts written text into natural-sounding speech. Unlike most AI models that demand powerful hardware, KittenTTS runs efficiently on almost any device, including older computers, Raspberry Pis, and even in browsers, thanks to its tiny 25MB footprint and 15-million-parameter design. This AI model delivers multiple realistic voices in real time without needing an internet connection or a GPU, making it ideal for developers creating privacy-focused applications, edge computing projects, accessibility tools, or any scenario where resource efficiency is crucial. With its combination of high-quality output, remarkable speed on CPU-only systems, and an open-source Apache 2.0 license, KittenTTS represents a breakthrough for deploying voice AI in resource-constrained environments where larger models simply cannot operate.
