 "title": "Ship a browser voice with no WebGPU or download",
 "page_title": "How to ship a browser voice with no WebGPU or download with Paradee",
 "summary": "Use Paradee's browser phonemizer and ONNX file to speak text inside a web page.",
 "who": "A front-end developer building a Chrome extension or web app that needs speech but cannot require WebGPU or a large model download.",
 "problem": "Most in-browser TTS needs WebGPU or a big download, which rules out many users and pages.",
 "outcome": "A browser feature that turns text into speech using the light Paradee model, following the same setup as the Chickadee extension.",
 "steps": [
  "Clone the repo with `git clone https://github.com/sahilmahendrakar/paradee` and open the `web/` folder. (inferred, check the README)",
  "Use `web/misaki.js` to convert text to misaki-style phonemes, because browser phonemizers such as kokoro-js write some sounds differently.",
  "Load the ONNX file from the Hugging Face model page into a browser ONNX runtime and pass phoneme ids as `input_ids` with `speed` set to 1.0. (inferred, check the README)",
  "Read the waveform output, which is float32 at 24 kHz, and play it with the Web Audio API."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Clone sahilmahendrakar/paradee, read web/misaki.js and the ONNX input spec in the README, then write a minimal browser page that speaks the text <your text>. Expect audio playback at 24 kHz with no WebGPU. Verify that the phoneme ids start and end with pad token 0 and total at most 512 before running inference.",
 "agents": [
  "any"
 ],
 "difficulty": "Advanced",
 "time": "1 hour",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "The README does not give a browser runtime or loading code, so the ONNX loading step is an inference and the author's Chickadee extension is the only documented browser use.",
 "category": "Software and DevOps",
 "tags": [

 ],
 "lang": "python",
 "requirements": [
  "Python with pip installed",
  "Internet access for the first run, to download the 8.5 MB model and misaki's English dictionary data",
  "Audio output support (soundfile is used in the README example)"
