Explore compact AI voice tools that deliver quality at 11 MB
SteerTTS Edge shrinks a full-quality English TTS system to just 11.84 MB, weights, voices, text front end, and Python runtime included. That's small enough for any app to ship. The secret is quantization-aware training: both the acoustic model and vocoder run in int4, yet intelligibility stays nearly identical to the larger fp32 version. All 12 steering controls survive compression, and you get 50 style tags plus inline markup.
Open-Source Tool Unlocks Full XTTS v2 Training for New Languages
When Coqui AI shut down, XTTS v2 lost its official training code for the DVAE audio tokenizer and Latent HiFi-GAN vocoder, leaving new languages like Arabic and Hindi broken on fixed vocabularies. One developer rebuilt the missing pieces. Open-XTTS-Trainer is a modular, open-source suite under MPL-2.0 with verified GPU convergence on real speech and a one-click Colab demo.
