Kokoro is a text-to-speech (TTS) tool designed for integration with ComfyUI, utilizing the Kokoro ONNX model to generate realistic voice outputs. It provides a range of nodes that allow users to create customizable voice synthesis workflows.
- Supports multiple speakers and voice combinations for diverse audio outputs.
- Allows adjustment of speech speed and language settings to tailor the voice output.
- Facilitates lip-syncing capabilities for video applications, enhancing multimedia projects.
Context
Kokoro is an extension for ComfyUI that focuses on text-to-speech (TTS) functionalities. It wraps the Kokoro ONNX model, enabling users to generate voice outputs from text inputs while providing a flexible and user-friendly interface.
Key Features & Benefits
Kokoro features three primary nodes: the Kokoro Speaker for selecting voices, the Kokoro Speaker Combiner for blending voices, and the Kokoro Generate node for producing speech. These functionalities allow users to create unique audio outputs by adjusting parameters such as speaker selection, speech speed, and language, making it a versatile tool for audio production.
Advanced Functionalities
The Kokoro Speaker Combiner node allows users to mix two different speakers into a new voice by adjusting the weight of each speaker's contribution. This feature enables more creative audio outputs, allowing for nuanced voice synthesis that can better match the desired tone or character.
Practical Benefits
By integrating Kokoro into ComfyUI, users can enhance their workflow with advanced TTS capabilities, enabling the generation of high-quality audio from text. This tool improves efficiency in producing voice content and supports innovative applications like lip-syncing in videos, thereby streamlining multimedia project development.
