Building a 10¢ TTS pipeline using Claude and on-device Kokoro for research paper audio summaries, detailing cost trade-offs and context window workarounds.
I built a native iOS + web app that turns research papers into listenable audio summaries in ~30 seconds. The stack: Claude Sonnet for summarization, Kokoro TTS (82M parameter on-device model) for voice synthesis, and a hacky but decently good solution to Kokoro’s context window problem: breaking sentences into clauses. Also found out that 11labs is a lot more expensive than I thought.
