    What is the best open model / tool for text to speech running locally?

      I&#x27;ve got the best results with BreezeTTS, Higgs Audio v3, and Fish Audio S2 Pro. audio.cpp (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;0xShug0&#x2F;audio.cpp" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;0xShug0&#x2F;audio.cpp) is an easy way to run a lot of different models.

      Different models have different strengths. If you throw an entire ebook at a model you&#x27;re going to get a different result than if you craft a perfect 10 second sentence with a model that supports voice direction and emotion tags, so you should try a bunch depending on your use case.
