# Junco v0.1: tiny offline text-to-speech (TTS) for CPU
|
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
+
**A small, natural English text-to-speech model that runs offline on any CPU. 44 MB, no GPU, no cloud.**
|
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
Junco is an 11.4M-parameter flow-matching TTS model from [Flock Speech](https://huggingface.co/flockspeech). It turns
|
| 40 |
English text into natural 24 kHz speech on an ordinary CPU, faster than real time. It has no GPU, network or PyTorch
|
| 41 |
dependency, and the full model is a 44 MB download.
|
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
+
Junco is the clear, neutral **reading voice** of the Flock Speech family: a good fit for voice assistants, screen
|
| 44 |
+
readers, notifications, narration and other on-device or edge AI speech output. Install it with
|
| 45 |
+
`pip install flockspeech`.

## FAQ
|
| 195 |
+
|
| 196 |
+
**Does Junco need a GPU or an internet connection?**
|
| 197 |
+
No. It runs on an ordinary CPU with ONNX Runtime. Once installed, speech is generated fully offline and your text
|
| 198 |
+
never leaves the machine.
|
| 199 |
+
|
| 200 |
+
**How big is it?**
|
| 201 |
+
44.2 MB in total: a 17.1 MB acoustic model plus the 27.1 MB Vocos vocoder. Junco and Goldfinch share the vocoder, so
|
| 202 |
+
both voices together take 61.3 MB.
|
| 203 |
+
|
| 204 |
+
**Can it run on a Raspberry Pi or other ARM boards?**
|
| 205 |
+
It runs on 64-bit ARM Linux wherever `onnxruntime` and `espeakng-loader` publish wheels, including 64-bit Raspberry
|
| 206 |
+
Pi OS.
|
| 207 |
+
|
| 208 |
+
**Can I stream audio for low latency?**
|
| 209 |
+
Yes. `tts.stream(text)` yields audio sentence by sentence, so playback can start before the whole text is done.
|
| 210 |
+
|
| 211 |
+
**Can I use it without Python?**
|
| 212 |
+
The ONNX files run in any ONNX Runtime binding. The text front end (espeak-ng phonemes) and the small loop around the
|
| 213 |
+
three models live in the [`flockspeech`](https://github.com/flockspeech/flockspeech) package, which you can port.
|
| 214 |
+
|
| 215 |
+
**Does it support voice cloning or other languages?**
|
| 216 |
+
No. Junco is one English (US) voice. For a casual, conversational voice, use
|
| 217 |
+
[Goldfinch](https://huggingface.co/flockspeech/goldfinch).
|
| 218 |
+
|
| 219 |
+
**Can I use it commercially?**
|
| 220 |
+
Yes. The weights are Apache-2.0 and the vocoder is MIT. The phonemiser (espeak-ng, phonemizer) is GPL-3.0 and is
|
| 221 |
+
installed separately; see the License section below.
