## 🧠 Model
Kokoro Web is powered by [hexgrad/Kokoro-82M](https://huggingface.co/hexgrad/Kokoro-82M), an open-weight 82 million parameter Text-to-Speech model available on Hugging Face.
> Despite its lightweight architecture, it delivers comparable quality to larger models while being significantly faster and more cost-efficient. With Apache-licensed weights, Kokoro can be deployed anywhere from production environments to personal projects.
This is one of the top-ranked models in [TTS Arena](https://huggingface.co/spaces/TTS-AGI/TTS-Arena), just behind ElevenLabs.
Special thanks to the model creators for making this technology accessible.
## 🚀 Usage
### Option 1: Use it online
Visit the hosted version at [voice-generator.pages.dev](https://voice-generator.pages.dev) and start generating voices instantly!
### Option 2: Self-host with Docker
The self-hosted version includes an OpenAI-compatible API that works as a drop-in replacement for applications using [OpenAI's text-to-speech API](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/text-to-speech).
```yaml
services:
kokoro-web:
image: ghcr.io/eduardolat/kokoro-web:latest
ports:
- "3000:3000"
environment:
- KW_SECRET_API_KEY=your-api-key
volumes:
- ./kokoro-cache:/kokoro/cache # Cache downloaded models and voices
restart: unless-stopped
```
You can adjust the `compose.yaml` according to your needs or use docker run directly.
Then access the web UI at http://localhost:3000 and the API at http://localhost:3000/api/v1/index.html
## ⚙️ Environment variables
- **KW_SECRET_API_KEY** - Your API key for authentication. If left blank, authentication will not be activated
- **KW_PUBLIC_NO_TRACK** - Opt out of anonymous usage analytics
## 🔌 API Integration
Kokoro Web provides an OpenAI-compatible API that works as a drop-in replacement for applications using OpenAI's text-to-speech service:
```javascript
import fs from "fs";
import path from "path";
import OpenAI from "openai";
const openai = new OpenAI({
baseURL: 'http://your-kokoro-host/api/v1',
apiKey: 'your-kokoro-api-key',
});
const speechFile = path.resolve("./speech.mp3");
const mp3 = await openai.audio.speech.create({
model: "model_q8f16",
voice: "af_heart",
input: "Today is a wonderful day to build something people love!",
});
const buffer = Buffer.from(await mp3.arrayBuffer());
await fs.promises.writeFile(speechFile, buffer);
```
