Choose ChatTTS_colab if…
- Tags unique to ChatTTS_colab: chattts, colab-notebook.
- When you want a simplified setup with minimal configuration needed in a browser-based environment using Google Colab.
- Leaner open-issue backlog (78).
When NOT to use ChatTTS_colab
- If your project needs do not include the ability to generate audio on-the-fly or manage multiple character readings.
- When you want to avoid Colab's resource limitations that could affect performance for heavy text-to-speech tasks.
- In scenarios where offline package support is not necessary, as this might introduce unnecessary complexities.
Choose Kokoro-FastAPI if…
- Requirements: Min 4 GB RAM; Requires Docker; Hardware-specific Docker images are provided for CUDA, ROCm (experimental), and CPU support.; Users without supported GPUs can still utilize the service via a CPU image..
- Tags unique to Kokoro-FastAPI: docker, fastapi, kokoro tts, multi-gpu support.
- You require a solution that can auto-download models and run natively on Apple Silicon (MPS) with support via UV.
When NOT to use Kokoro-FastAPI
- If your hardware is not supported by the provided Docker images, for example, if you do not have a compatible NVIDIA, AMD GPU or CPU setup.
- You are looking for non-Dockerized solutions. Kokoro-FastAPI focuses on containerization and might not fit environments that strictly avoid containers.
