Kokoro is an open-weight series of small but powerful TTS models.

This model is the result of a short training run that added 100 Chinese speakers from a professional dataset. The Chinese data was freely and permissively granted to us by LongMaoData, a professional dataset company. Thank you for making this model possible.

Separately, some crowdsourced synthetic English data also entered the training mix:^[1]

• 1 hour of Maple, an American female.
• 1 hour of Sol, another American female.
• And 1 hour of Vale, an older British female.

This model is not a strict upgrade over its predecessor since it drops many voices, but it is released early to gather feedback on new voices and tokenization. Aside from the Chinese dataset and the 3 hours of English, the rest of the data was left behind for this training run. The goal is to push the model series forward and ultimately restore some of the voices that were left behind.

Current guidance from the U.S. Copyright Office indicates that synthetic data generally does not qualify for copyright protection. Since this synthetic data is crowdsourced, the model trainer is not bound by any Terms of Service. This Apache licensed model also aligns with OpenAI's stated mission of broadly distributing the benefits of AI. If you would like to help further that mission, consider contributing permissive audio data to the cause.

Kokoro 是一系列体积虽小但功能强大的 TTS 模型。

该模型是经过短期训练的结果，从专业数据集中添加了100名中文使用者。中文数据由专业数据集公司「龙猫数据」免费且无偿地提供给我们。感谢你们让这个模型成为可能。

另外，一些众包合成英语数据也进入了训练组合：

• 1小时的 Maple，美国女性。
• 1小时的 Sol，另一位美国女性。
