Local TTS model

MisoTTS

Q: Can MisoTTS run locally?

MisoTTS is listed by LocalClaw as a local TTS option. Hardware fit depends on runtime, model size and backend support.

Catalogue summary: 8B English-first emotive conversational TTS model designed for natural dialogue, voice continuation from prompt audio and private local speech experiments. Excellent quality signal, but heavier than small TTS models and best on CUDA GPUs or larger Apple Silicon setups.
