Setup

Prerequisites

  • TTS WebUI installed locally
  • Neutralinojs CLI: npm i -g @neutralinojs/neu

  1. Clone this repository into a folder (this folder will become your app): 
    git clone https://github.com/your-username/tts-webui-ignition.git
cd tts-webui-ignition
  2. Edit neutralino.config.json — set modes.window.title and cli.binaryName
  3. Run neu update
  4. cd vite-src
  5. Edit package.json — set name
  6. Create vite-src/.env.development with WEBUI_ROOT=/path/to/tts-webui
  7. npm install
  8. cd .. back to root, then neu run to develop

Configuration

VariablePurposeDefault
WEBUI_ROOTPath to your local TTS WebUI installation.

Example vite-src/.env.development:

WEBUI_ROOT=C:/Users/rob/Desktop/tts-generation-webui-main/

How It Works

This app spawns two processes:

  1. TTS WebUI — Gradio backend at http://localhost:7770
  2. React UI — Frontend at http://localhost:3000

The React UI communicates with the Gradio backend to generate audio using any of the supported TTS models.
