About this plugin
By default, assistant replies in the DeepSeek Harness Web UI are plain text. Relying on cloud TTS means API keys end up in the browser and the service stops the moment connectivity drops. dsh-tts moves all synthesis to the host backend so keys never reach the client, and fully offline neural models keep the voice pipeline alive, resolving privacy, availability, and outage concerns in one package.
Two local engines ship with the plugin: Kokoro-82M runs on CPU via ONNX Runtime for fast, zero-cloud synthesis, and F5-TTS leverages a zero-shot diffusion transformer on NVIDIA GPUs for more natural voices. Independent multi-provider fallback chains feed a Server-Sent Events stream into the browser, delivering near-real-time audio. The ModelManager UI handles manual installation with a live progress bar, SHA-256 validation, and one-click deletion, preventing silent multi-gigabyte downloads.
Ideal for developers and ops teams running DeepSeek Harness locally who care about keeping API keys off the client, guaranteeing offline usability, and building voice-enabled assistant interfaces without exposing sensitive credentials in the frontend.
Use Cases
- Enable voice replies in the DeepSeek Harness Web UI without any cloud TTS
- Keep natural voice output available fully offline via Kokoro and F5-TTS
- Build voice-enabled assistant interfaces while keeping API keys off the browser
Best For
- Developers running DeepSeek Harness locally and concerned about API key exposure
- Ops engineers building offline-capable assistant interfaces for their teams
- Inference engineers who want to pick TTS engines on CPU or GPU flexibly
