sano (सानो) — Nepali for "small." A family of tiny neural text-to-speech voices — 294k to 2.27M parameters — that run with no cloud and no NPU: real-time on a $3 ESP32-S3 (out a GPIO into an LM386 and a speaker), or live in the browser via WASM. Live demo: tts.ampixa.com/sanoTTS — every voice synthesizes your text live in the browser, no server, no upload. Both packages stream their weights from this repo by default. Python needs sanotts >= 0.3.0, the browser sanotts-web >= 0.3.0. Both fall back to the GitHub releases or the Pages host if Hugging Face cannot be reached, so an outage here cannot break an install. Python packages land in /.cache/sanotts/; set SANOTTSVOICESOURCE=hf or =github to pin one host. In the browser, passing voiceBase yourself turns the fallback off, so a self-hosted deployment never quietly reaches back to our servers. Two clips per voice are in…

Compatibility and lineage
Reported languages: en, ne, hi, vi, id, zh
Base-model lineage was not included.
Parameter count is not a RAM/VRAM requirement. Check precision, quantization, context length and runtime compatibility in the model card; no hardware or API-cost claim is inferred here.
Use and evaluate
Check license terms and access requirements first. Review the model card’s documented loading instructions, evaluations and safety limitations. Benchmark scores are not imported by this directory, and popularity is not an accuracy ranking.
No model weights are downloaded or executed by AltAPIs. Never enable remote model code without reviewing it.
