# An alternative to Zonos and Higgs Audio without a big GPU Updated 2026-10-24 Zonos from Zyphra and Higgs Audio from Boson AI are two of the most talked-about open-weight voice models. Zonos clones a voice from a short sample and lets you set emotions, and the latest Higgs model, Higgs TTS 3 with about four billion parameters, speaks more than 100 languages. Both are built for strong graphics cards. The free SuperClonica engine takes another route: a compact model that runs on an ordinary processor, 31 languages, ready voices and a model license that allows commercial use. This guide compares them honestly and says when Zonos or Higgs Audio is the better pick. ## Zonos and Higgs Audio in short For cloning on the fly, emotion control or Chinese on a strong GPU, these are impressive models. - Zonos v0.1: English, Japanese, Chinese, French and German, voice cloning from a 10 to 30 second sample, emotion and speaking-rate controls, 44 kHz audio, Apache 2.0 code and weights. - Zonos needs at least 6 GB of VRAM and the eSpeak library; Linux and macOS are supported, Windows only through a community fork, and on a processor it is much slower. - Higgs TTS 3: about four billion parameters, more than 100 languages and zero-shot voice cloning, self-hosted with SGLang-Omni or used through Boson AI’s hosted API. - Its weights are under a research and non-commercial license; production or revenue-generating use needs a separate commercial license. ## Compare the sound free On the page of any voice, paste a line you voiced with Zonos or Higgs Audio, 30 to 100 characters, choose the language and press Voice it. In a few seconds you can compare on your own text, with no account. ## What SuperClonica does differently Ten stock voices and more than 170 catalog voices with free demos are ready to use the moment it is installed. - No graphics card needed: a short phrase took 0.43 s on four threads of a Ryzen 7 5800X in our tests. - Nothing to install besides one package, python -m pip install superclonica-cpu, or a Docker image with an HTTP API. - 31 languages, including Russian, Spanish, Portuguese, Turkish, Hindi and Arabic; Chinese is not among them. - The engine is under Apache 2.0, and the Supertonic 3 model under OpenRAIL-M, which allows commercial use within its list of prohibited uses. ## Cloning at every request or a trained voice Zonos and Higgs Audio copy a voice from a clip at every request, which needs the GPU every time. In SuperClonica, a voice is trained once in the studio from a clean 5 to 10 second recording, on a computer with an NVIDIA graphics card, or ordered on the exchange from an author who trains it. After that it runs on any processor and in all 31 languages, with a trace of the accent of the original recording. Clone only voices whose owners agreed. ## Which one to choose Choose Zonos for emotion control and cloning on a GPU in its five languages, Chinese and Japanese included. Choose Higgs Audio for research across more than 100 languages, or with a commercial license from Boson AI. Choose SuperClonica when speech has to run on ordinary computers and servers, in a product you sell, with ready narrator and character voices and a one-line install. ## More guides - [How to convert text to speech offline on your computer](https://superclonica.com/en/guides/offline-text-to-speech) -

Not with sliders. Delivery follows punctuation and the voice you choose; pick a calm, cheerful or dramatic voice for the mood. ### Can I use it in a commercial product? The engine is Apache 2.0 and the model OpenRAIL-M, which allows commercial use within its use restrictions. For voices, use stock voices or voices you have the rights to. ### Does it speak Chinese? No. Supertonic 3 speaks 31 languages, and Chinese is not among them; Zonos or Higgs Audio cover Chinese. ### Do I need a GPU? Not for speech: it runs on an ordinary processor. Only training a new voice needs an NVIDIA graphics card. - [Browse voices](https://superclonica.com/en/explore) - [Install the SuperClonica engine](https://superclonica.com/en/superclonica) ## Sources - [Supertonic 3 model card](https://huggingface.co/supertone-oss-archive/supertonic-3) - [SuperClonica engine on PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/superclonica-cpu/) - [Zonos (Zyphra/Zonos) on GitHub](https://github.com/Zyphra/Zonos) - [Higgs Audio (boson-ai/higgs-audio) on GitHub](https://github.com/boson-ai/higgs-audio) - [Higgs TTS 3 4B model card](https://huggingface.co/bosonai/higgs-tts-3-4b) - [SuperClonica](https://superclonica.com/en/) - [AI voice catalog for text to speech](https://superclonica.com/en/explore) - [Custom voice commissions for Supertonic 3](https://superclonica.com/en/requests) - [How it works: voices, local speech, training](https://superclonica.com/en/guide) - [Install the faster Supertonic 3 engine](https://superclonica.com/en/superclonica) - [About us: speech synthesis enthusiasts](https://superclonica.com/en/about) - [Contacts, support and voice complaints](https://superclonica.com/en/contacts) - [Privacy policy: what data we keep](https://superclonica.com/en/privacy) - [Terms of use: rules for buyers and authors](https://superclonica.com/en/terms) - [Text to speech](https://superclonica.com/en/text-to-speech)
