Coqui TTS is an AI-powered text-to-speech platform and voice-cloning toolkit. It allows you to enter text and generate speech, and supports voice cloning (take a short audio sample and recreate a similar voice). It can also be self-hosted via its open-source library.
If you’re producing narrated content (videos, games, educational material, accessibility tools), having high-quality, natural-sounding voice output matters. Coqui TTS gives you the ability to generate and control voices without hiring a voice actor for every variant. For developers, the voice-cloning angle adds flexibility: you can replicate a voice for consistency across episodes or product features.
- They have a core model called XTTS which supports voice cloning and multilingual output.
- On the open-source side, the library Coqui TTS (open‑source) (formerly “TTS” by Coqui) supports training/fine-tuning your own models in many languages.
- For commercial or platform use, there is a licensing model for XTTS if you use its weights for commercial deployment.
