I’ve been playing with PocketTTS on iOS and honestly, it’s way faster than I expected.

I’m using it in a little AI companion app I’m building. The whole thing runs offline, so I needed TTS that doesn’t feel like it’s making you wait every time the character talks. PocketTTS has been surprisingly good for that.

It’s not one of those “cool demo but unusable in real life” things. On iPhone, the speech starts fast enough that the chat still feels natural. No server, no API call, no waiting on the network.

Pretty impressed. Tiny local TTS is starting to feel very real.
