Local KOKORO TTS: Text-to-Speech Converter

Converts text to high-quality speech using the local KOKORO TTS model via Python script in self-hosted n8n. Free alternative to paid TTS services for creators and bots.

This n8n workflow enables text-to-speech conversion using the compact, powerful KOKORO TTS model, which runs locally without needing a GPU. It leverages an Execute Command node (self-hosted only) to run a custom Python script that accepts text, voice, and speed parameters, generating MP3 audio files. Setup involves installing Python, downloading KOKORO from GitHub, and placing a voicegen.py script in the model folder. Benefits include fully free, offline TTS outperforming larger models on bench
