Kokoro De Martin is a German-language text-to-speech model designed for offline, on-device synthesis. The model provides a single-speaker German voice named Martin and is packaged for use with sherpa-onnx, enabling it to function without the need for a network connection at runtime. This capability is highlighted by its use in the Page Reader application, where users can scan or paste text and have it read aloud directly on their device. The evidence notes that the model is distributed as an ONNX package and is licensed under the Apache 2.0 license. The model is intended to read German text correctly, with an emphasis on quality, and is capable of handling numbers and dates, which are expanded to spoken German by the application before synthesis. The model's samples were generated using sherpa-onnx and Page Reader's German correction lexicon. No additional details about target users, broader use cases, or integration options are provided in the evidence.
