Self-hosted multi-backend text-to-speech platform with voice cloning and a modern web UI.
Full documentation: kevinbonnoron.github.io/sirene
curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/KevinBonnoron/sirene/main/install.sh | bashThen open http://localhost.
- Multi-backend TTS - Route requests to Kokoro, Qwen3-TTS, F5-TTS, Piper, CosyVoice, Fish Speech, or Chatterbox from a single interface
- Voice cloning - Create custom voices by uploading audio samples with zero-shot cloning
- Model management - Download and manage TTS models on demand from the web UI
- Real-time updates - Track downloads and generation progress via Server-Sent Events
- Transcription - Speech-to-text via Whisper models
- Self-hosted - Two Docker images: a single Go binary for the web/API/database, and one for inference

Speed and pitch are available on every backend above: those that expose no native control are adjusted on the rendered audio by the worker. The ElevenLabs and OpenAI voices are generated by their provider and never reach the worker, so they take speed only.
