This is brilliant. All we need now is for someone to code a frontend for it so we can input an article's URL and have this voice read it out loud... built-in local voices on MacOS are not even close to this Kokoro model


There are a few already, I assume MacWhisper will add it. That being said, I am also working on a (crossplatform, in Flutter) UI for this.


My understanding is that MacWhisper is a front-end for Whisper.cpp so... it does Speech-to-text? (transcribing what you dictate)

Here I'm talking about the model shared in this thread, which is text-to-speech (reading out loud content from the web)


Yes, I am saying they might include features for TTS in addition to their current STT feature set. Seems like many of these sorts of apps are looking to add both to be more full fledged.
