KokoClone
I built KokoClone, a small project that adds zero-shot voice cloning on top of Kokoro TTS. The idea was to keep Kokoro’s speed and real-time compatibility while allowing speech to be generated in the timbre of a reference voice. You can type text, upload a ~3–10 second voice sample, and generate speech in that voice. Supports several languages including English, Hindi, French, Japanese, Chinese, Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian. Runs on CPU and can use GPU if available. Live demo: https://huggingface.co/spaces/PatnaikAshish/kokoclone Would appreciate feedback.
KokoClone launched on March 5, 2026 with 4 votes, #2,516 of 23,380 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches.
What it does
KokoClone extends Kokoro TTS with zero-shot voice cloning. Type text, upload a short voice sample, and generate multilingual speech in that voice instantly. Built for speed with real-time friendly inference, CPU support, and a clean API for developers building voice assistants, agents, and speech applications.
Voice Cloning, Now Inside Kokoro. Generate natural multilingual speech and clone any target voice with ease. - Ashish-Patnaik/kokoclone
KokoClone is a fast, real-time compatible multilingual voice cloning system built on top of Kokoro-ONNX , one of the fastest open-source neural TTS engines available today. Generate native speech in English ( en ), Hindi ( hi ), French ( fr ), Japanese ( ja ), Chinese ( zh ), Italian ( it ), Portuguese ( pt ), and Spanish ( es ). Upload a 3–10 second voice sample and KokoClone instantly transfers its vocal characteristics to the generated speech. Upload any existing speech recording and re-voice it to sound like a reference speaker. The pipeline skips TTS entirely and runs purely through the Kanade voice-conversion model. Works on recordings of any length thanks to automatic VRAM-aware…from github.com

KVoiceWalk – Voice cloning for Kokoro TTS using random walk algorithms2025 · github.com · ▲13I was blown away by Kokoro and what it managed to do with such little space. I became curious if it would be possible to create new voices by direct manipulation of the style tensors. After many failed attempts I finally landed on a method that properly scores the similarity of two audio segments that works well enough to random walk similar voices for Kokoro. I plan on using this scoring as part of a genetic algorithm, but wanted to baseline test it with this code. The scoring mechanism using Resemblyzer to calculate similarity to target audio and similarity to another segment of audio it…

Talanoa▲341Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
