Post Description
The original wasm port didn’t run on Safari so I used Codex to help me fix the issue: was that simd relaxed didn’t work on Safari, only simd-fixed
What’s good about Pocket TTS is that it streams generated audio chunks.

My 16MB vibe-coded voice cloning app
Shrinks the usual TTS bloat into a 16MB Electron-alternative wrapper while still letting you clone voices from a short sample and 'design' voices from text prompts. It handles model downloads for you, supports batch exports and macOS auto-updates — smart product trade-offs. Caveat: the app binary is tiny, but the underlying TTS models are downloaded on demand, so expect large model pulls behind the scenes.
