I love Kokoro. I use it to read ebooks that don't have audiobooks and it works pretty good for that. I have a Python script that reads epub/html, runs the model and writes mp3s.

Kokoro supports a limited number of languages. I've had to resort to other models to support Dutch, and they just aren't as good. And usually a lot slower and bigger (too big for my 8GB VRAM). I've had to resort to the Windows built-in TTS. It doesn't sound natural at all, but at least it can pronounce most words and is very fast.
