Ikiganiro Piper
Piper was built by the Rhasspy project to bring neural text-to-speech to edge devices that have no GPU. It pairs a VITS-style synthesizer with the Larynx pipeline and runs as a compact ~15M-parameter ONNX model directly on CPU, so synthesis happens locally with no cloud round-trip. Its strength is breadth and footprint: over 100 voices spanning 35+ languages at real-time speed on hardware as modest as a Pi 4. That makes it the practical default for home automation, accessibility readers, and offline kiosks where latency, privacy, and zero hosting cost matter more than studio polish.

Piper -
No. Piper is CPU-only by design and uses 0 VRAM — it runs offline on embedded hardware like a Raspberry Pi 4 in real time, which is exactly what it was built for.
Only some voices. The Piper engine is MIT licensed, but each voice carries the license of the recordings it was trained on, and most Piper voices were trained on or fine-tuned from recordings licensed for non-commercial use. Those voices are marked "Personal and non-commercial use only" below and in the voice picker. On TTS.ai, audio from the other Piper voices is for personal use on the free tier and can be used commercially on any paid plan.
Piper offers 100+ voices across 35+ languages, including English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Polish, Russian, Chinese, Arabic, Turkish, Ukrainian and many more. It supports SSML and handles up to 2,000 characters per request.
