What you need first
- Docker
- About 5 GB of disk for images
Steps
- Start TTS with
docker run -d -p 8880:8880 --name kokoro ghcr.io/remsky/kokoro-fastapi-cpu - Create a venv and install requirements-dev.txt
- Run the app with uvicorn on port 7777
- Broadcast a day and inspect the SQLite data and mp3 files
Prompt for your agent
Set up the mat-nolen/tldr-radio dev environment with Kokoro on port 8880, broadcast <date>, and confirm the generated script text matches the archive stories word for word apart from pronunciation fixes.
Caveat. The CPU Kokoro image works but synthesis of a full day takes a few minutes.
