# Neural voices: licences and attribution

Generated by `tools/voices/build_voices.py` for catalogue `index.9f6a2c0577db.json` (sources read 2026-09-29). Do not edit by hand.

Every neural voice runs entirely on the device, inside the browser; no text leaves it. Every one of them is a **synthetic voice** and should be labelled so wherever it is offered (this also meets the StyleTTS 2 pre-trained model condition that Kokoro inherits). Nothing below is non-commercial or GPL: all of it may be used in a free app and in a later paid tier. ShareAlike terms bind only the data or model files that carry them, not the app. The full licence and notice texts are in `licences/`, one file per runtime, component and voice.
