🎙️ VoxSherpa TTS — by CodeBySonu95
VoxSherpa TTS is a professional-grade, 100% offline neural text-to-speech engine for Android. It brings studio-quality voice synthesis directly to your device — no cloud, no internet, no tracking.
Built on Sherpa-ONNX, it runs two neural engines side by side: Kokoro-82M for studio quality and Piper/VITS for speed.
🏆 Featured in the official Sherpa-ONNX README — the core inference library powering this app.
