After some experiments with Melo TTS and Spark TTS, Kokoro TTS has proven to be the easiest regarding installation and the best regarding quality and stability.

For those searching for a shortcut to running Kokoro TTS locally:

Option (1) Install via Github

Powershell:
git clone https://github.com/PierrunoYT/Kokoro-TTS-Local
cd Kokoro-TTS-Local
py -3.10 -m venv venv
.\venv\Scripts\activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
python gradio_interface.py
open the browser link (usually http://localhost:7860)

Option (2) Install Portable Package incl. Windows GUI

https://github.com/mirbehnam/Kokoro-TTS-...s/releases

Select the package of your liking.

Btw. the voices seem to be identical with the ones used by https://elevenlabs.io/
