STOBE Text-to-Speech Services

STOBE currently supports six text-to-speech options. The simplest way to think about them is local voices first, then hosted voice services if you want cloud speech instead.

Recommended Local Options

PocketTTS

PocketTTS is the easiest local starting point. Use it if you want STOBE talking without setting up a more involved voice workflow.

Chatterbox

Chatterbox is a local voice option with a more expressive feel. Use it when you want a stronger local speech option than the most basic setup.

OmniVoice

OmniVoice is a local multilingual option. Choose a prepared language profile in the connector and let StobeServer finish the voice setup in the background.

STOBE XTTS

XTTS is the option to pick when you specifically want the STOBE XTTS voice-cloning path. It fits users who want to work with cloned or more customized voices.

STOBE Voice Library

STOBE includes voice samples selected for Kenshi races and unique characters. The server chooses the closest match automatically when the NPC is imported.

  • Race voices: Greenlanders, Scorchlanders, Shek, Hivers, Skeletons, and Cannibals have their own voice groups.
  • Unique voices: Named Kenshi characters can use their own voice sample.
  • Fallbacks: General male and female voices are used when the race is unknown or no closer match exists.
  • TTS Studio / Voices: Use this StobeServer page to test samples and manage supported voice libraries.

Hosted Services

Cartesia

Cartesia is a cloud text-to-speech option. Use it if you want a hosted voice service instead of running speech locally on your own machine.

Cartesia

Inworld

Inworld is STOBE's other hosted speech option. Use it if you want a cloud provider and prefer the Inworld voice platform.

How STOBE Uses Text-to-Speech

STOBE's local text-to-speech options are PocketTTS, XTTS, Chatterbox, and OmniVoice. Pick the matching service in the TTS connector page; DwemerDistro handles its local address.

The hosted options are Cartesia and Inworld. Those use cloud accounts instead of a local speech server, so you configure them with their service credentials inside the STOBE server tools.

Turn on Menu Dialogue TTS in the Kenshi Plugin Settings if you also want supported dialogue from Kenshi's normal dialogue menus spoken aloud.
