NOTE: At this time Kodi TTS is ONLY available on Windows and Linux. Once this release is complete, it will be a priority to add more platforms.

This site provides a private Kodi addon repository that simplifies installation and update of the Kodi TTS addon which is currently in Alpha. By installing this repository addon you will be able to easily install Kodi TTS and any dependencies.

If for some reason you do not wish to use this repository, you can manually download Kodi TTS. There are extra steps and you won’t get notifications about updates. For more information see Manual Installation.

Although not required, it is suggested that you install the mpv player first. You need it on Linux, but is optional on Windows if you use the Navigator’s voice engine. However, without mpv you won’t be able to try out Google TTS voices. Also, mpv is more responsive than the built-in player.

If you think that you will want to use eSpeak, go ahead and install that now as well, so that it can be used as soon as you install Kodi TTS.

If you choose not to install mpv or eSpeak, you can install them later.

Install Optional Programs

Although optional, it is suggested that you install mpv and perhaps eSpeak-NG.

To install mpv or eSpeak-NG Choose your platform:

Install Kodi addons

You will next install a Kodi Repository addon. This is needed since the TTS addon is still in development and not available in the official Kodi Repository. After this private repository is installed you will be able to use it to install the latest available TTS addon as well as updates in the future.
