# Kokoro Japanese TTS
|
|
|
|
Small CLI wrapper around the Kokoro TTS pipeline for Japanese speech synthesis. It chunks long text at punctuation so the model keeps a natural pace and writes 24 kHz audio with `soundfile`.
|
|
|
|
## Quick start
|
|
- Requires Python 3.11+ with `pip`.
|
|
- Run `./run.sh "ココロさん、こんにちは"` to create a `.venv`, install deps, download UniDic on first run, and generate `out.wav`.
|
|
|
|
## Direct usage
|
|
```bash
|
|
source .venv/bin/activate # or your own environment
|
|
python kokoro_ja.py "テストです。" \
|
|
--voice jf_alpha \ # e.g. jf_alpha, jf_tebukuro, jm_kumo
|
|
--speed 1.0 \ # >1 faster, <1 slower
|
|
--out test_ja.wav
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Notes
|
|
- Output is mono 24 kHz WAV.
|
|
- UniDic is only downloaded if not already present (handled inside `run.sh`).
|
|
- `PYTORCH_ENABLE_MPS_FALLBACK=1` is set in `run.sh` for smoother macOS GPU fallback; adjust as needed on other platforms.
