Balaka
Balaka is a local-only text-to-speech app built around OmniVoice.
Update (October 27, 2026): Balaka v0.3.0 is out. It adds OmniVoice 0.2.1, safer local defaults, request limits, and new UI controls. See the GitHub release for details and WAV samples.
What it does
- runs TTS locally
- exposes a FastAPI backend
- ships a separate static frontend
- supports voice design and voice cloning
- removes remote inference fallback
Why I built it
I wanted a minimal local TTS stack that is easy to run, easy to inspect, and does not hide the model behind a remote service.
