Kokoro on the web

Discover how an iOS article summarizer was expanded to a web app, exploring cheaper TTS solutions and consistent prompt accuracy challenges.

Overview

Expanded my iOS app for summarizing any article into 3 levels of detail, into a web app so Android users can use it. To save money I’ve got a free (for low usage) PaaS running Kokoro (the same TTS I’m running directly on the iPhone). Shocking how much cheaper it is, even at usage beyond free level. Also found my existing prompts (Llama 3.2 and Apple Intelligence on iOS, as well as Claude Sonnet via API) have consistent accuracy issues, which I’m still working on.
