HeadTTS and StreamingKokoroJS
These are ecosystem siblings—HeadTTS provides a full-stack TTS implementation with lip-sync features and server options, while StreamingKokoroJS offers a browser-native alternative optimized for streaming inference, both building on the same underlying Kokoro model but targeting different deployment preferences.
About HeadTTS
met4citizen/HeadTTS
HeadTTS: Free neural text-to-speech (Kokoro) with timestamps and visemes for lip-sync. Runs in-browser (WebGPU/WASM) or on local Node.js WebSocket/REST server (CPU).
This tool helps animators, game developers, or content creators bring digital characters to life by generating natural-sounding speech directly from text. You provide text input, and it outputs audio along with precise timing data for phonemes and visemes (mouth shapes). It's designed for anyone needing to synchronize character lip movements with spoken dialogue, making animated characters speak realistically without manual effort.
