Features of Bantr: Offline & Unlimited TTS for Mac

Fully Offline & Private Processing

Bantr processes all text-to-speech generation directly on your Mac's hardware using Apple's MLX framework.

It's a sustainable, user-centric approach that aligns the developer's success with continuously improving your product.
