Here’s how to install Pocket-TTS on a PC. Pocket-TTS is a text-to-speech application developed by Kyutai Labs. On the GitHub page, you can find all the details about the application. A variety of English voices are available, and the application also supports multiple languages. Pocket-TTS is designed to be CPU-friendly, making it suitable for systems without a dedicated GPU. The installation process uses Anaconda. Simply visit the Anaconda website, download the Windows 64-bit Graphical Installer, and install it on your system. Versions are also available for macOS and Linux. After installation, open the Start Menu and search for Anaconda Prompt. Please note that Anaconda Prompt is different from the standard Windows Command Prompt. Open it and create a new Python environment by running the command `conda create –name Pocket-TTS python=3.12`. Press Enter and wait for the files to download. When prompted, type Y and press Enter. Once the environment has been created, activate it using `conda activate Pocket-TTS` and then install Pocket-TTS with `pip install pocket-tts`. Gradio is also required, so install it using `pip install gradio`.

Next, download the prepared Pocket-TTS Python file using the link provided below and place it inside your TTS folder. Copy the folder location, then in Anaconda Prompt type `cd`, add a space, paste the folder location, and press Enter. To launch Pocket-TTS, run `python pocket-tts.py`. Pocket-TTS will start, and you can begin using various voices. Please note that voice files are downloaded automatically the first time they are used, and each voice only needs to be downloaded once. After that, the application can function fully offline. Once everything has been installed, you do not need to repeat the setup process. In the future, simply open Anaconda Prompt, activate the environment using `conda activate Pocket-TTS`, navigate to the TTS folder using `cd`, and run `python pocket-tts.py` to start the application again.

For users who want an even simpler installation process, a packaged installer is also available, although it is paid. The package includes Kokoro TTS, Pocket-TTS, Piper TTS, and Edge TTS. Simply open the installation folder, double-click TTS.exe, and run the installer. All required files will be copied automatically, so the installation may take several minutes. Once completed, click Finish, and a desktop shortcut will be created automatically. Open the shortcut, and the application will load. The interface includes Kokoro TTS, Pocket-TTS, Piper TTS, and Edge TTS. Kokoro TTS, Pocket-TTS, and Piper TTS operate fully offline, while Edge TTS requires an internet connection.

Thank you very much.
