# dracon-tts-runtime

Text-to-speech with Kitten (espeak-ng) and Kokoro (ONNX) backends.

## Usage

```rust
use dracon_tts_runtime::{KittenTTS, KokoroTts};

// Lightweight TTS
let kitten = KittenTTS::new().await?;
kitten.speak("Hello world")?;

// Neural TTS (higher quality)
let kokoro = KokoroTts::new(model_path, voices_dir).await?;
kokoro.speak("Hello world")?;
```

## Feature Flags

- `kitten` — espeak-ng-based TTS (default, no GPU required)
- `kokoro` — ONNX neural TTS (requires `ort` ONNX runtime)

## API Notes

All public methods that can fail return `anyhow::Result<T>`. Constructors (`new`, `new_with_voice`) are `async` and must be awaited with `?` or `.await?`.

## Key Types

- [`KittenTTS`] — espeak-ng backend
- [`KokoroTts`] — ONNX Kokoro backend
- [`TtsEngine`] — enum for runtime engine selection
- `resolve_voice(name)` — resolves voice aliases ("male", "female", etc.)
- [`TtsResult<T>`][crate::contracts::TtsResult] — `anyhow::Result<T>` type alias
