Free, Private, and 100% Offline: I built a local alternative to cloud TTS services.

Hey everyone! 👋

I wanted to share a project I’ve been working on recently called LocalVoice TTS.

With privacy becoming a huge concern and API costs adding up for cloud-based AI services, I wanted a solution that runs entirely on my local machine without needing an active internet connection. No tracking, no API keys, and complete data privacy.

What is it?

It's a fast, easy-to-use, and completely offline Text-to-Speech application. It uses a FastAPI backend and comes with a clean web interface to convert text into high-quality AI voices.

✨ Key Features:

100% Offline & Private: Your data never leaves your machine.

High-Quality AI Voices: Generates natural-sounding speech locally.

FastAPI Backend: Lightweight and highly responsive.

Unified Setup: No complicated commands. Just run python start.py, and both the frontend and backend boot up simultaneously.

The Tech Stack:

Built strictly with Python and FastAPI.

I just published the v1.0.0 initial release and would love for you guys to check it out. If you are into self-hosting or local AI tools, I'd really appreciate your honest feedback!

If you find it useful, a ⭐ on GitHub would mean the world to me and help the project grow!
