The models in this repository are new models (students) trained on audio rendered by the following Apache-2.0 models,
and the Heart decoder descends from Paradee-8M v1.1's weights. Please keep these credits when you redistribute them:
- Kokoro-82M by hexgrad (Apache-2.0), voice af_heart: teacher of Heart.
https://huggingface.co/hexgrad/Kokoro-82M
- Paradee-8M v1.1 by Sahil Mahendrakar (Apache-2.0): the starting point for Heart, and its training code.
https://huggingface.co/sahilmahendrakar/Paradee-8M-v1.1 https://github.com/sahilmahendrakar/paradee
- Phonon-31m-en by Gradium (Apache-2.0), with its built-in voice: teacher of Wren.
https://huggingface.co/gradium/phonon-31m-en
Phonon builds on Pocket TTS and the Mimi codec by Kyutai. No Phonon, Pocket TTS or Mimi weights are included here.
- gradium/phonon-voices (Apache-2.0, revision 0ee17205): the voices Everly, Hadley, Bryony, Maeve, Miles, Trevor, Edwin and
Hugh, rendered by Phonon-31m-en: teachers of the students of the same names.
https://huggingface.co/gradium/phonon-voices
- misaki by hexgrad (Apache-2.0): the grapheme-to-phoneme front end. web/*/frontend/ contains a JavaScript port of its
English G2P and its lexicons (us_gold / us_silver), re-encoded.
https://github.com/hexgrad/misaki
- kokoro.js phonemize.js by hexgrad (Apache-2.0): web/v2/frontend/kokoro-phonemize.mjs and web/espeak.mjs.
Not included: eSpeak NG (GPL-3.0-or-later). The optional fallback for words outside misaki's lexicon loads it at run time
(the `phonemizer` npm package in a browser or Node; espeakng-loader through misaki in Python). Review its licence if you
ship that fallback.
The voices are synthetic. Do not use them to impersonate a real person or to mislead listeners about who is speaking.
